Dunk or leave to Grow? Picked Black Caps.
    #14001546 - 02/21/11 01:45 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Hi, this is my first grow so im a noob to growing, i bought a growbox and mushrooms began to grow after about 3-4 weeks, but today the caps seemed to have went black so i picked them, but im now not sure whether to dunk the box or leave it to see if the small pins which seem to have appeared yesterday will continue to grow? Any Help would be appreciated thanks.

P.S and will i be able to eat the mushrooms i have picked?

let them continue to grow, once you harvest then dunk for 12-24 hours and put back in fruiting conditions to get another flush.

If the substrate feels dry, dunk it, but it doesn't look like it from your picture.

You can definitely eat any mushrooms that grow off the substrate, mature, aborts, and anything in between.

yeah.. i ate 10 grams of lil tiny aborts and stuff.. those were actually more visually pleasing than the fully mature ones.. from what i understand, smaller mushies, or ones that arent fully mature are more potent, or something like that.. im sure someone here could elaborate on it..

ive already picked the mushrooms in the pictures due to the caps going black, but ive noticed really small pins starting to pop up everywhere now so im not sure if i should dunk or leave it as it now is withing any of the above mushrooms.

the cap had practically broke off of one of the shrooms and another of them was starting to do the same, the pics were a couple of days old, they were closer to black today.

ahh no problems, thanks for the replies, so do you reckon im ok to just let the little pins continue to grow and see how they get on even after removing the black caps?
