Oyster Spore Avoidance Clinic

Hello all,
I have two bags of Oysters fruiting pretty hard:
 
I do not yet have anything to fruit these in outdoors, and so will just have to harvest these before they drop all their spores.... I am not yet seeing spores on the surrounding area, but these look ready to go.
I wonder if anyone might point one particular fruit out that looks to be "just on the line", or some such. I am just starting with this species.
Thank you, in any case, for the kind attention,
JD
P.S. I had a typical "humidity event" so it looks like the next wave of pins died. I have the drum, and the fogger. I need only a squirrel cage fan....I must make a better humidifier!

I do not have an answer to your question as my first few oyster grows did not turn out all that great.
Just wanted to pop in and say congratulations on some tasty looking oyster fruits! I have 3.5L of blue oyster spawn ready to play around with , hope they turn out half as good looking as your fruits brother!

Ah, thank you EM.
These were disgustingly simple....I worry that I accidentally got something right. ;0)
LOL
Take care,
JD
P.S. I am making prints to share on the other thread. I will not be able to send out as many as ajp, but I will send a few.

Nice looking fruits... Are you going to make a clone of the largest fruit? Just put a couple small pieces of the stem butt into a ziplock bag for 3-5 days and then on agar.

I'm in the same boat as Evil with the advice, but wanted to say nice job. That looks like a straw grow, did you supplement or is it strait straw?

Thanks guys.
I have the original print to restart from, but we will see.
Ozzy, this is the crazy part. This is straw. Just straw.
Not even gypsum, and I am practically putting that on my pancakes these days.
Clearly a strong line.
These are not a fruit that drys well, I read. No worries. At this point, I just want to enjoy a neat meal once in a while, and learn about the needs of new and interesting things.
Take care,
JD

By that point, they should pretty much all be dropping spores. If you hold them up so that a light is blocked by the mushrooms and just shining around them and look up towards the light, you should be able to see a steady "rain" of spores.
how did your prints turn out?

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time.
I went ahead and stripped the fruits for printing this morning.
The first printings are going fine....but these babies are so juicy that one might think that they are deliquescing as opposed to dropping spores, as the foil is quite wet from condensation.
I have nowhere outside of the house to put these, and so they are now part of a "what happens when one dries out a straw block" experiment. ;0)
Take care,
JD
P.S. I am going to be buying a second cheapo-GH, as I have a "cave-like entryway" at my place (like Lipa) that I think would be a decent place to put an outdoor GH.
