Dont worry that is mycelium, cant you all see the rhizomo- (can't spell it) growth? If you are using the shroom wizard's tek you are probably not providing at humidity. Considering that hese are the winter months it it most likely very dry around your house. You must make some kind of humidifier thingy. If you ahve perlite you can use that. If you dont you can put it into a container and spray the walls with mist every once in a while and keep in some kind of tupperware container or something. And remember to fan 1-4 times a day.

Looks good. Sometimes my casings continue colonizing with too much vigor after a cold shock. i just patch lightly with some more casing material, this is optional. i think you should put some saran wrap over that to keep humidity up for pin formation, giving fresh air as often as you can. your temp sounds spot on for pinning(i wouldn't call it incubating). i think you'll see hyphal knots within a few days.

How long has it been since you cased it? BTW, it does look like mycelium, sorry if I scared you with the C word (cobweb).

It's been a couple of weeks, but I can't give a specific date, since I can't remember. Glad to hear it's not cobwebb. I got more pictures at my website: here

That last pic of the mug on your site is good, its much more clear. Definetly mycelium, so its been cased for weeks? Damn, thats a long time, should be pinning soon, how are you providing humidity?

It still isn't pinning after weeks!? You must raise the humidity some. Put that mofo in a plastic container. If you dont have a container with transparent top wrap it with plastic wrap.
Later.

I'm gonna get some perlite and add it to the bag. I took it outta the fridge for the coldshock, and it's doing a lil more colonizing of the top layer. Any other tips for initiating them to pin?

At least one hour of light a day. Perlite is what I use, look to my avator for a pic. I just put that thing in a tupperware shoebox and when I give it light and wrap the top of the shoebox with plastic wrap.

Why don't you put it in a terrarium? All you can do to iniate pinning is temp in the mid 70s, light, air exchange, and humidity. You can cold shock, but you already did that, and you can mist until the primordia starts to form.

I changed my setup. I know just have the casing with a wet piece of plastic wrap on top. Go to the post started by crabby ass to see what I mean...

I changed my setup. >Pretty self explanatory I think. I don't use a plastic shoebox with perlite anymore.
I know just have the casing with a wet piece of plastic wrap on top. >In Crabyass' post is described a technique that explains that you can mist a piece of plastic wrap and then put it on top of your casing to initiate pinning.

Any other tips for initiating them to pin?.......................... Yeah more beginners luck !  I agree with 6E and Skikid ... raise and maintain humidity , if you keep putting in the fridge to much it may become hibernative , not bad thing , but does not allow fruiting .  Good Luck
ps . If real desperate and poor , get a five gallon bucket and use as a grow chamber , mist and perilite to humidify , get creative to adjust temps . The bag thingy with perilite sounds troublesome .
-------------------- Any information I give is not intended to aide you in the production of potentialy illegal substances !None of my exp comes from growing illegal varities , so take it as you will .
So with that said here is our mission statement .

ok, so I when ahead and put them in the fruiting chamber and I'm tryin to innitiate pinning now, by bumpin the humidity up w/ perlite, but the only prob is that I can't get it any higher than 90 and the FAQ says to have it between 95-100 so what now? I have it 2 inches deep with 1/2 inch water/peroxide mix just like the FAQ says. It just doesn't say what to do if it doesn't get up there.
Oh and I updated my site so here is the link and just scroll to the bottom and it should say these pics were taken 11/25: here
