I harvested some shrooms and now my containers will not fruit anymore they show primordia but no new growth since I picked all of them last time. No visible mold and I patched where I took big clumps of knots out. They have been sitting like this for about 7 days.

That's strange, mine usually flush every 4-5 days.
How is your growing chamber set up?

tub setup with sonic humidifier set on a timer artificial light 12 on 12 off. I got huge first flushes then increased water content after harvest by soaking containers now nothing.

Can you see any hyphal knots? that's always a precursor to pins.

I have no idea then, I'd just give it a few days and make sure the conditions stay good.

Have you dunked your substrate? From the pictures i can see that it has shrunk somewhat from the sides.
After each flush you should dunk to rehdyrate. Mushrooms are 90% water.

Thanks man. I got lots of others but I am still just learning and it just sucks to lose a tub full of cakes. At least it is not all of them right?! right on man.

dunking too long will water log your substrate.
With cakes 24 hours is fine.
Trays of grains/bulk sub can be dunked for a few hours. Pour water in the tray until it comes above the substrate level, and weigh it down so its submerged. After a few hours drain the water out.

Next time, after harvest let them sit and dry slightly in the dark or semi-dark(leave your lights off) for five to seven days before you soak. This allows for a natural 'rest period' before the next cycle and tends to produce much better second and third flushes. RR
