Excessive Roping - Lack of Pinning
    #14354580 - 04/26/11 11:11 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

So let's pretend someone were to have 9 fully colonized (Penis Envy) PF cakes placed in their terrarium. What if the cakes practically refuse to pin and the only symptom showing is the mycelium roping excessively off the cakes (like over an inch out)? Mainly I'm wondering if the excessive roping would help determine what the issue is (i.e. too much condensation).

could be too little fae. what kind of lights are you giving the cakes? you could try putting it directly into the sunlight for a little bit each day. i have heard from RR that sunlight can make the most stubborn of cubes form primordia. have any pics? :pipesmoke:

pics would help, but i'm gonna say that your myc is going aerial trying to find fresh air...

i like to fan every couple hours, or i just fan when i think about it..

you can never have too much fresh air, but co2 builds up quickly...

This.  Run a search for "aerial myc" or "aerial mycelium" for more info.

Since we are only speaking hypothetically, I have included a pic I found as an example.



Let's pretend he made the normal PF Cakes (brown rice flour, verm) and that they are getting 12 hours light a day from a natural light, light bulb. And let us assume they are getting fanned at least 3 times a day. Of course, one would also want to use perlite for humidification.

Just for added horror (I like to be super imaginative), let's pretend one of the cakes actually started pinning and had 4 what looked to become very massive Penis Envy mushrooms growing on it. And (remember to imagine this), while trying to take a pic, the lid fell and took off three of them. Glad that didn't happen to me. :frown:

you built your fruiting chamber INCORRECTLY


heres what you do kid.

take a clear plastic tub

drill 1/4" holes 2" apart on ALL SIX SIDES

fill bottom 5" of tub with dampened perlite.

elevate fruiting chamber to allow for even airflow through ALL holes.

light is good misting and fanning are good.




i bet you have a tub. and its clear, and it probly has some holes in it. and it probly even has some perlite in it. and that makes you think your fruiting chamber is perfect.

but its not.

The terrarium I imagine worked great for Golden Teachers (in my head at least). It is a tub in a tub. The bottom tub has water and a fish tank heater for temperature control. The top tub has the perlite and cakes. There are no holes at all. I'd suppose someone using this kind of setup would be relying solely on fanning for FAE. I imagined a shotgun terrarium once, but humidity was a huge issue.

That set up...is just wrong! Heating your FC? :facepalm3:

Build propper SGFC with 5in of perlite,mist and fan 3-5 times a day and that will solve your problems!

Everybody knows that the cakes are yours and that there is nothing imaginative, hypothetical or pretend about any of this...but at least you don't have one of those retarded signature disclaimers.

Anyway, I have absolutely no idea why you are trying to fruit inside of a tub in tub incubator.  It's pretty absurd really.

Ha, well the point of the heating would be because the temperature was dropping below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Considering the time of year it is now, that probably would no longer be an issue (or is that not an issue to begin with?). My understanding is that if it's too cold the mycelium would go into hibernation.

I will say I'm crazy noob (but I guess also crazy lucky, with the golden teachers anyways). Let's try it the right way and see how that goes.
