First Harvest - need some advice from experienced growers!
    #7702312 - 12/01/07 10:47 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Hi guys - I am growing Angkor mushrooms. Everything seems to be going well, but I just wanted to ask your opinions / advice at this point.

I went away on vacation for a week just as the knots were beginning to form, and came back to find a couple of TINY baby shrooms, and this one 7" monster.

Take a look at the pic and give me your expert opinions - is this too big to eat? Did I pick it too late? (Cap is open). See the white fuzz on the bottom the stem - is that safe, or contamination?

Any comments / advice would be much appreciated!

I don't have a scale - so I can't tell you how many grams it is... but it is 7" long! The biggest damn mushroom I have ever seen.

Is it normal that just one would grow so big? The others are starting to sprout now - they are all growing very individually, (not in clusters) the next largest being about 3" at the moment.

Just pick em as they mature, I don't get spot on even pinsets, it is very common to have some ahead of the others... Chances are those sprouts are going to get up to 7" too... If yer using spawned horse poo as a substrate... Try 9-12"
Just pick em once the caps open up.. Try not to let them drop spores. I'd have to guess that one shroom will probably end up being close to 2 grams dry.
Those other ones will catch up in due time :smile:
Just pick the blackies, they are rotten aborts and can ruin later flushes...
WHITES ONLY!!! I just realized how racist this hobby is ha ha ha LOL

Thanks for the advice! My main concern was that white fuzz - but it seems from reading these boards that it's harmless... just wanted to make 100% sure.

Now I need to figure out how to dry these puppies.

Yeah, that's usually just really active mycelium at the base... You'll see that allot.

White fuzz is usually an indication of high humidity, the mycelium is litiraly almost growing in the air. I have seen it alot on cakes which are real close to the perlite, its RH is highest neerer the perlite than it is higher up.

Sometimes 1 shrooms gets a head start, i had a few do that and ended up with 2 10 gram fruits.

I would say it was close to 10 grams.
