as been said, FAE is the cause for thin, lanky stem's..poor light causes small caps..
do as said above and place in sunlight for few hours a day and you should see a great improvement, as well for the light use a 6500k CFL.

actually, it seems that more stressed fruitbodies tend to be more potent.
but this is not proven and is merely speculation

wow said: nice!! star gazers are a keepers strain..
No, they're just a cube which he pulled a name out of his ass for marketing to noobs. In fact, I believe he only has one strain and simply labels syringes with whatever name the customer orders. He's also not the only one doing it.
Cubes are cubes, which is why new growers think they're getting something different when they order a new name and see different looking fruits. However, since every grow is different with cubes, they can pull off this scam. RR

I ordered my spores from the Netherlands and chose a print with the name Star Gazer, it cost me a Euro only and the place is called FSRE (FreeSporeRingEarth) and is supposedly run by a ring of growers:)
I dont know what sub-variety mine are but they sure make you Gaze for the Stars...hence the name..Star Gazer:P:P

still having a few problems the fruitbodies grow not much bigger than in the pics and now are blue-ing and seem to shrink or start wilting i added more holes and have been misting, can a sudden temperature fluctuation cause this? my heater dropped the temp about ten degrees over night and they seem to be doing poorly ps. have added more light. any ideas?

I doubt it's fluctuations. I've read a lot of posts by RR and many other of the passionate hobbyists that said in nature, it can sometimes fluctuate up to 20 degrees. They can handle it but they may go very slow. If they are very thin, I wonder if you have holes on all sides? Also, where are they? Near a window or on a shelf in a closet? I noticed by a window there is much more draft because of the difference in temp/pressure outside than in (even if it's close, the air for some reason pushes towards it) and that can cause dryness. I'm not sure thought just trying to throw guesses to help you out.

How much perlite did you put in there? My room by the way has the most fluctuations closest to the windows. It's nice for light but I don't know if it helps with the humidity or temperature.
Also, have they been exposed to direct sunlight at all? Also how often do you fan? I've seen some pics of people who have good humidity but small mushrooms because they didn't make sure the water evaporated and it led to a very moist soil/cake. I'm really not sure brother but these ideas may hopefully lead you to a conclusion (or just keep bumping your thread). I

bro just take a clear plastic tub.
drill 1/4" holes 2" apart on all six sides.
fill with 5" of damp perlite.
elevate so holes on bottom can breathe.
watch fruit body size and health increase dramatically.
though your current fruits are probably done growing.

@ ONEU I have around four inches of perlite I noticed at the bottom of the chamber when I switched to having holes drilled on the bottom there was a bunch of standing water,.today I moved it away from the window and into a closet I feel that the fluctuations shouldnt be two big of a deal now, luckily theres been alot of help from everyone and im hoping I can still pull a decent flush out of these ha ha trial and error

You keep making things worse. A window may or may not be enough light. You need bright light for best results. Get rid of the LED light or use it during the daytime as a supplemental light. Mushrooms require the dark period to form and grow properly, so never use 24/7 light.
Get rid of the aquarium pumps and drill holes in all six sides. Get the terrarium out of the closet. Place in a bright window with at least a few minutes of direct light each day. RR

I have holes in all six sides, and the led light is not the only light in the room im now using 6500k daylight simulation bulbs two which I use a 12-12 on,off period also the pumps are just a little extra FAE. I do spray the cakes and walls three times a day and the humidity is keeping a steady 90-95 % I picked off the first flush because im hoping the second flush in this new simulated habitat will be more sucessful. They are dunking as we speak, I think this setup will work a lot better . Thanks for your advice, I do really appreciate it.

I don't see any reason why I shouldn't put my stuff outside if I'm gonna use a sg. Wouldn't use one inside... But I never tried it so can't say it wouldn't work
