few small mushrooms fruiting, but not growing..
    #11014060 - 09/07/09 10:50 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I have a small fc with an air pump and a water heater. I'm using wbs for my spawn, and and horseshit, hay and vermiculite mixture as my substrate. I cased with peat moss, clam shell and vermiculite. I've been giving them indirect light about six hours a day, the humidity seems to be very high and the chamber is fairly warm, but the mushrooms took much longer to fruit than usual. The first popped through the surface two days ago (six days after casing), and seemingly hasn't progressed from there. a few more have begun to pop up, but don't seem to be growing either. Is there something I can alter to increase the size?

Sounds like a fae problem. Just because the chamber is humid and warm doesnt mean shrooms are going to grow. Give it more fae which will drop the temp by degrees and you should see more growth.

You might could even turn off the heater.

your entire crop will stall and abort for many different reasons. i dont think anyone will be able to diagnose without pictures or time to tell.
lack of moisture in the substrate will cause them all to abort. so will too much moisture. as will a contamination within the sub.

Prismism is right. There are so many variables to assume what the problem is. The main thing that we know are the parameters needed for fruitbody formation. FAE along with humidity and light are whats needed. Obviously you are lacking one or more of the fruiting triggers. Or there might be a contam.

Try supplying as much fresh air as possible. Open up your tubs and fan them as much as possible. Mist after each fanning. You cant fan them too much. They can use as much fresh air as you can give them. Just think, they grow outside where 100% humidity is rarely possible. If they still aren't growing once you give them the fae, moisture and light; only then would I consider a contam in the sub as the culprit.
