anyone seen this - killer pin set stopped dead in tracks
    #5774566 - 06/20/06 10:50 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I had come home after being away a few days, and checked on one of my 8" x 8" cased trays in its fruiting chamber. I noticed the humidity had been too high and there was more overlay on the casing than what you would want and water droplets. There were no signs of contams so I let it go and dropped the humidity. In a few more days I had what looked like was going to be a champion tray. There must have been 150 healthy pins with nice golden brown caps covering the tray. After another couple days I noticed that upward growth had ceased, with mushrooms in size from small pins up to an inch or so. All maintained a healthy appearance with golden brown tops. I gave it a little more time just to see, but after I knew all growth had definitely stopped I picked all those aborts. When I picked this thing, I gave it a good hard look. Not a trace of contams and the day I picked it - it still had that awsome fresh myc smell. I have never seen anthing like this before. It seems so odd that not a single mushroom matured. Ususally when you get enough of them up to inch or so - at least a few will go to full maturity.
The only thing I can think of was I did cut the humidity off for a couple days but that should not have done anything - because the chamber still held moisture. By the way, I am rehydrating this thing in the frig overnight just to see what that might do. Any clues as to what condition caused this mass abort?

They will often abort when there is lack of moisture. Do you realize exactly how much water large pinsets demand? ALOT! Your large pinset was due to your high humidity at the right time :thumbup:
