Reasons for small mushrooms on bulk tray

Assuming that genetics is NOT the issue, because there's nothing we could do about that - what are some reasons for smaller mushrooms on a bulk tray?
- Bulk is coir using Daimon's tek - Humidity is at a constant 90-95% - Top of substrate is yellowish - Mist/fan upwards of 5 times per day
Getting mushrooms 1" high at maturity. Any thoughts? Also, our holes in the GH are pretty large. Could that be an issue?

Here's a pic. Some of them have veils opening BEFORE THEY EVEN GET A MILLIMETER PAST THE SURFACE!
The tallest mature mushroom has gotten about 1". Average is about 1/2".

could be sub depth...how deep is your trays?
i've also had monotub's do the first flush tiny ones like that, after harvesting then get what i consider my REAL 1st flush where the tub is full of normal sized mushrooms..

Sub depth is about 4-4.25"
I hope this tray turns out to be like your monotubs!!

if your misting and fanning properly and they turned out that way then chances are its just genetic's ..it'll work out for the best of ya.

i'm experiencing the same thing. My hope is that the next flush will have better results. I started from 2 prints that were app. 1 3/4 inch dia. Have been following all directions here to a "t", got maybe 2 mushrooms I consider to be avg. size, rest were as tall as my the nail on my pinky is long. Frustrated to say the least, but its all a learning experience and all in the name of science.

i would definatley put that one off to genetics and im one that believes that 90% of the time its operator error.
i know a cube is a cube but everytime i grow large fruit they grow exactly like those.

haha its just the name they are sold as. they are labeled (large fruit) just like they would label b+ or p.e.

Maybe the sub was a little over optimal field capacity during colonisation.

They're definitely Psilocybes. I mean most likely they are cubes, but some of the fruits look different. What they supposed to be?

The myc need some time to digest the sub and store nutrients. How many days you've given to colonize/consolidate the myc?

I doubt that. Fruiting too early will also cause tiny fruits because the myc need time to digest the sub and store nutrient's. Or am i wrong at this??

That'd be my guess....your substrate is too wet...I'd reduce the mistings...possibly skip the dunk.

These are p. cub's.
Could it be, that if you spawn multi-strain grain to coir, with a higher spawn ratio like 1:2 or 1:1 there are so many different strains in the sub so every single strain has not a big amount/space of myc in the sub, what causes these little fruits? This would explain that everybody who is working with isolates doesn't even know about this problem?! Just a thought...

MS syringe --> WBS ----> G2G ---> bulk (coir + verm + gypsum) ---> GH

Okay i might be wrong at this but if you go G2G you reduce the number of strains in the jars every time you transfer. Maybe this is enough to get good result's. Imagine a bulk with 1000 different strains in one Sub, can this be good?

OK, no more
but, no I don't think that a G2G reduces the amount of strains in your jars, at all...besides, I just started doing the old G2G...first tubs weren't, they were just straight MS PE6
But is moisture content of the sub...

I'm led to believe my problem is too much moisture. The sub is soaked, so no more misting for a while, fanning only. Should I put drainage holes in the bottom of my tray? It's a black "flat" like for starting seedlings and such, or will I get pins popping out the bottom?

No, don't worry about the drainage holes, you'll probably end out over-drying your sub.
Just fan more per day to dry the sub, you should start seeing some good stuff happening soon. I wouldn't dunk it either, unless it somehow miraculously loses a bunch of moisture/water weight, but I doubt that's going to happen.
You'll need to dunk after the "second" flush, I don't think you're going to get a definite flush until that...

That'd be my guess....your substrate is too wet...I'd reduce the mistings...possibly skip the dunk.
This was what I wanted to suggest. I have had small fruits before, when my tubs were getting too drenched in my GH:
Elephant Dung:

BPK:

Cambo:

African Transeki:

Another factor to consider is that the sub or spawn might have had a bacterial contamination. This would explain the yellowing and possibly the size of the fruits.
Good luck OP,

I think he'd know if he had bacteria though, that's a pretty distinguishable smell...like jailhouse hooch & cheese & feet....gross...I just lost 3 tubs due to it...o well, good compost for me garden

Its two things 1. the strain i have talked with several other members currently growing Brazilians. If there from ralphster then its just shitty spores ie genetics. At least with this specific strain
2. There drowning!!! Those things look super wet.. I can see the light shining off them. FAN

Interesting genetic suggestion.
I can say that for me Brazilians were huge fruiters:

I hope you get better results going forward OP.

They're way too wet. I've seen this happen before, over misted. I've even seen it happen with oysters mushrooms. The bin that i fanned and misted daily produced tiny fuits, that grew very slow. The bin that I ignored made nice healthy fruits that grew normal speed. Stop misting all together and see what happens after a couple weeks. My guess is they'll be another flush of nice look stuff.

Oh dang. What do you think they could be? Tried 2g and they're kicking ass so it must be some sort of psilocybe.
They are Psilocybe cubensis, but I can see were stonesun is coming from. They look like Psathyrella.

I personally doubt that it has something to do with the genetics. I also doubt that Ralphster is selling shitty genetics. We will see if how the third flush will perform. Maybe it is s a good idea not to dunk between the flushes until they grow normal. One heavy misting after the first and second flush is maybe enough in this case. Keep us updated milkafredo.
