is it a bad cake?
    #13031257 - 08/10/10 11:29 AM (14 years, 5 months ago)

ok. so i posted b4 on a fruit that had turned blue around the rim. ppl told me i shouldnt worry too much and bklah blah. i had touched it so i knew it was bruising. but i kno for a fact i havent touched this fruit. and its getting a bit blue black around the rim of the cap and a dot in the center. idk if its just a bad cake or part of the strain or what.
iv got malabars. no A/C in my house so its like 90 degrees in my terrarium. no matter if i put a fan on it or not(it only takes down RH). my fruits are growing singularly. only one fruit seems to grow at a time.
is it the strain? the environment?
plz help. this may be my only chance at a successful harvest and way to get prints and cloning tissue

Bruising can also be caused by drying out. 90 degrees is way to hot so that's probably your problem. I'm sure you can still pull a few fruits from it but you need it in the lower 70's for fruiting ideally.

there is nothing you can do except restore proper conditions.
The bruising is a sign of physical damage (bruising) and is allright, it might be a sign of low moisture too.

Unless you can change your environmental conditions, i would not expect to see any improvement.

what do you want to hear from us?

the thing is, most "tricks" relay only fool your mind, they don't make no difference to the cakes whatsoever.

A warm-hard-at-the-limit room can benefit from a humidifier, as it will keep your cakes from drying out a bit longer. A warm humid room needs a good amount of fresh air exchange too.

Think about maybe you got access to another room in the house where temperatures might be a bit cooler, such as Crawlspace or basements.

As long as your cake is alive though it will produce fruits to save it's progeny, so as long as you get a sporeprint you're golden.

I did not cultivate mushrooms the past two months due to the weather. The temps here were WAY to hot, and i do not want to purchase an AC. Now, the indoor temps are down to 70 - 77F and that is perfect for incubating and fruiting imho. If you fail now try once it cools down wherever you are.

You could buy a coolmist humidifier and run a tube into your terrarium that might cool down the terrarium a little bit but that's about the only thing other then getting an A/C I can think of.

ok. there is a cellar. but anyone outside can get into it, its almost just as hot, id have to run an extension cord down there which would look KINDA suspicious. and its COVERED in cobwebs and mildew. so thats a no go. and any other room in the house is visible to any visitors.
but im waiting on a call for my new apt. im hopefully gonna get it in a day or two.
but the cap of that fruit is almost completely blue. and has a slimey look to it. almost like its being eaten away by something. could it be from over misting my terrarium in such a hot and humid enviorment?

Almost sounds like a Trich infection to me...especially if it's green. If it's slimy, something is attacking the mushroom, and it's trying to defend itself, if my learning serves me right.

I'd say it's from over misting. Trich doesn't usually grow on the fruits themselves, not saying it's not possible but it's pretty uncommon.

maybe not so uncommon wen your roomates leave bowls and pots of moldy spaghetti noodles everywhere. i try to be as careful as possible. this is another reason why im getting my own place.
should i pick it so it doesnt contam the cake? if so do you think i can get sterile clone tissue out of it?

If the bottom looks somewhat normal, you could always try. Worst case scenario your LC will grow over with whatever kind of infection you got, best case you've got a good LC.

Also, I feel ya. Roommates are not conducive to growing. Get your own place, preferably built in the last 20 years or so, and convert a closet into a semi-sterile grow room. It's worked wonders for me, just make sure you keep airflow up. Or better yet, get a martha.

i dunno if you would be able to keep humididty up without some kind of lid. have you ever seen a peltier unit? it gets hot on one side and cold on the other, when voltage is applied. or invest in small ice packs and put on inside every few hours. these are just suggestions ive never tried them before, im just kinda brainstorming, lol hope it helps.
