Will they be ok?

My 3 casings are pinning beautifully and the pins are now ~3/4 an inch tall. The problem is that tomorrow I am going to be leaving town until Saturday and I was wondering what my best course of action is as far as tending to these casings. The fruiting chamber is pretty much automated and I don't have to mist or anything, but I was worried that the mushrooms may overmature during that time and begin to rot. Is there any way i can slow down the growth of the mushrooms? Lowering the temperature is not an option by the way.

If conditions are maintained your mushrooms will not die and rot in the 4 days you will be gone. The most they will do is over mature and blow spores everywhere.

but is there anyway to slow down growth? I can't get a sitter because no one knows I have these growing, and I would like to keep it that way.

The lack of air exchange should help slow growth, but it should help increase the chance for contamination. Good Luck

well, lack of air exchange isn't a problem because it is automated. I guess I could just cut down on the air exchange. Damn vacations always come at the worst time. I guess I'll probably just suck it up and drive back home on thursday. Oh well. It's only a 2 hour drive.

haha when I had cakes I couldnt tend to them for 4-5 days i'd put em in an icecream pail with perlite, crack the lid and leave em behind my desk next to my comp (warmth) no pins when I left, 1 fuckin HUGE mushroom peeking out the box when I got back hahah man the look on my face! haha goes to show you fanning vigerously, misting, checking, yadda yadda yadda.... sometimes isnt very optimal! just my 2 cents..

I think you should put them in a zip loc bag and then put them in the fridge. The cooler temps should slow down growth.

In reply to:

But if you fanned, you may have had 3 or 4 big fruits, besides, not fanning will lead to a buildup of CO2, which contams love. But you're right, sometimes the less you fuck with your shit, the better it will do.
