Need help! Just a simple questions?
    #14085797 - 03/08/11 09:27 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hi peopleee,
I bought an ez-growing kit from amsterdam and let it grow with the steps written in the manual. Yesterday me and my friends just eat the first harvest and it was the greattest trip ever!!! However I have some questions for you guys!!

1. when I was collecting the mushrooms I saw that some of them have green or blue colours on the body  (just like the same colour when I collect them and let them dry...) and some of the heads was brown(they were really dark, looked like they died :/). So what does that mean? Did I put too much water?

2.The soil started to shrink, gaps started to occur between the plastic container and the soil.. There is still water in the plastic bag(you know the container is in the plastic bag which is sealed) and I slighty spray them every day but it looks like the shrooms dryied out the soil.. SOOO Should I put water in the Container? And would tab water  be okey?

3.Since now I need to get ready for the second flush, do you guys have any suggestions? (should I cover the air holes,or spray water?)

hope to hear from you guys asap, THANKSS :smile:

The blueness is probably from them being dry or being like touched, they bruise very easily and it's always blue like that, as for the caps they are probably fine, did the veils break yet? They might be dropping spores

okkay, here is it. You can see the gap form between the container and the soil, is it normal?

I've seen the reduction of substrate in many pictures like yours.  This would lead me to believe that it's normal.

Looks like they need more fresh air and light, those are some tiny heads and longass stems.

And yeah the shrinking is normal, the mycelium will constrict as the water content goes down and pull it away from the walls of the container.

After it's done giving you mushrooms you'll submerge the whole thing in water for about 12 hours and it will bloat out back to normal or larger proportions.

k00laid beat me to it.  You should add some studying to that list....and what the hell kind of directions came with the kit?  It didn't say they need light or fresh air, misting??


--------------------
The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

adfasdfasdfasdf lol :laugh:
Alright since it says in the directions "....place it on a warm spot of app. 23 degree celcuis, but not in full sunlight" and I also know from my science classes that mushrooms doesn't do photosynthesis; I thought light doesn't matter!! :laugh: okey I need more light and fresh air.. THXX guyss

btw this is the pic I took before I collect them, I'm not waiting for the caps to open since I don't need prints... Right??

try poking some holes in the bag.

and dunk your substrate under water for about 4-24 hours.

sunlight is a good thing

Light is important for many things other than photosynthesis among many living things.
