Questions about my oyster mushrooms
    #14491116 - 05/21/11 07:41 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I have noticed something which I hope the more experienced people can answer for me.


1.  If there are multiple clusters of pins do you necessarily prune them?  This was a practice we did when I worked in a tomato farm but unsure if this is done in mushrooms.  Look at first picture for reference.  I thought about this since I noticed that in these cases the clusters would open dry up.



2.  In the Second picture are how some of my oysters are coming out.  Could anyone tell me why? 


Thanks in advance to everyone who can help.

There is no need to prune them nature will select wich are going to grow and wich will abort.

As to the second picture i'll let someone more experienced answer. Probablly something to do with not enough air exchange/ wrong humidity levels.

What are your fruiting conditions like? I looked at the pic again and it looks like the mass is convoluted gills/caps. Possibly TOO humid?

Blue oysters can put out too many pins which will ruin yield but usually they put off what they can handle if you have limited the fruiting sites.  It looks like you cut bottom off grow bag as fruiting site?  Fruiting from bare substrate works against you with blue oysters as too much CO2 is released which will reduce performance.  What you should do is just poke + shaped holes in plastic and clusters will form in holes made so you can limit the # of clusters by the # of holes.

The 2nd pic is of high CO2 and/or low light conditions.  Increase your FAE and fluorescent lighting (daylight bulbs with highest color temp are best)

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise.  Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated.  For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

Actually that was the front of my grow bag, local growers here mostly use a 8" X 12" bag for fruiting oysters.  I had planned to try using bigger/longer bags but got sidetracked at the moment.

Current temps are low 30's (Centigrade) and widely swings from 60-85% RH due to problems with the growing area.  Still working on that.


Anyways thanks for answering guys.  I'll try out leaving the light in my shed on for 8hours per day to see if that helps.
