Premature Mushrooms (should i pick?)
    #12559377 - 05/13/10 11:56 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

It couldn't have been more than 10 days ago that i put my rice flower cakes into a shotgun and I have some shrooms. All of my cakes have around 2-5 small shrooms on them but for some reason on one of them the mushrooms are one inch and the biggest from all the cakes. It seems the caps have opened on them and that would usually mean they are done right? The stems are about as big as a pen and the caps are not fully opened just part of the way open and are still round. Another thing is that I found some blue on the stems of one and it doesn't appear to be bruising. The blue seems almost like fuzz could anyone take a guess as to what this may be? If you say contaminant, what type would you label it? Thank you in advance, sorry I'm a newb and kind of rushed into this whole thing. :mushroom2:

Once the veil breaks no matter how big they are, they are ready to pick.  If you wait any longer they will rot out.

What sizes cakes are they?  Cause I fruited four 1/4 pint cakes a while back, and the fruits on all the cakes have always been tiny.  2" is the biggest I have gotten yet, and the average size now is less than a inch before maturing.

If it is contamination I would label it as mold. Take a pic.
