Ever wondered what cap cracking looks like?
    #6684862 - 03/18/07 07:35 PM (17 years, 14 days ago)



The humidity in my FC was dropping to an unacceptable level.

Also, I learned how to use the Macro setting on my camera!




I love seeing pictures on the board, so I hope no one minds the pics I'm throwing out here!

Ok, ill be sure to keep my fruiting chamber nice and humid to avoid cracked caps, and i thought it may be unsafe because the shroom could somehow get contaminated by other things landing in the crack and spreading within the shroom

Shiitake growers often lower humidity a few days prior to harvest to induce that on purpose, especially in Japan. It is said to make the fruits better and more desirable. They command a higher price as well. Nice pix.

If it weren't for the randomness of how the crack would be made I would try to get some of breack's cracks on the grow I just started.

Would be cool if you could somehow like isolate the mushroom to make the caps always crack that way. Seems HIGHLY improbable (if not impossible) though

itsbrek's picture is a different phenomona than paul's which is caused by low humidity.

EDIT: While I don't think the question was directed at me, I'll out it out there.

Oddly enough, the strain is Ecuador. Every tray I'm growing seems to be expressing different traits. The "cracked caps" pic is a tray populated by short, fat fruit. Another has tall, thin fruit. A third is sprouting morbidly obese fruit.

Also, I suspect that some of my babies are missing the genes for pigment. I've got some very pale fruit popping up, but they're too small to get on camera just yet.
