Enoki trouble
    #13400431 - 10/28/10 12:05 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

So I visited a mushroom show put on by our local mycological society and picked up an enokitake grow kit. I've never actually used a kit before, but I figured it has to be easier than starting from spores right? Well I followed the included instructions exactly and 3 weeks later and not a single sign of pinning on my lump of mycelium. I'm storing it at 50-60 degrees F. Any ideas?

Is it a big block?  Pics would help.

When I grew Enoki, I had large filter patch bags with
hardwood sawdust, gypsum and wheat bran.
Waited till they were nice and colonized, cold shocked
for a week in the fridge, and they fruited like this:


Try a cold 24 hour dunk.  I like to take the shelves out of
the fridge and put the dunk-bucket in there.

Ya, it's just a block of woodchips and other substrate that had been previously inoculated and put in a bag. All I had to do was cut the bag and mist it. But actually just today I found the first couple pins, so I guess it just took awhile longer than usual. I appreciate the help though! Mushroom growing has indeed become a passion of mine and I love that feeling when I see the first pins erupting through the mycelium! Although using the grow kit does take a bit of the satisfaction away..

Nice, ya Im about to fruit 4 bags of Enoki in my greenhouse.
They are in the fridge for now but im waiting
until my pink oysters finish so I can lower the temps.

Just out of curiosity, how white is the block you are fruiting?
Like can you still see a lot of brown from the sawdust/sub,
or is it all completely white?

edit: I was gonna say that when Enoki pins it looks like sandpaper,
that develops into little fish-egg looking clusters that stretch out.:thumbup:
Have fun!

My block is completely white, almost no signs of brown underneath.
