I thought I have fatass shrooms, but I don't!?
    #14717408 - 07/04/11 08:06 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Hello guys,

I am very excited to post my first article here.:cool:

Recently, I birthed my second batch of Psilocybe cubensis cakes. (pf cakes)

Something very strange happened...

Most of the pins started like tiny droplets. When they mature, they look like white marbles with a brown spot on it.

Unlike the fatass some people describe, the stem of my mushrooms do not elongate AT ALL!. Instead, they just blow up like balloons without much vertical growth. :frown:

This did not happen to my previous batch, which had a casing.

I thought of a few possibilities, but not sure which on is the cause.

1. The terrarium I have is pretty small, maybe it allows CO2 to accumulate quickly.
2. I put them on my dining table. They might be receiving too much light, because the lights in the living room are on until late night.


I don't think it is a genetic problem though, because I used the same syringe for my last batch.

I also don't think it is because of humidity, because I dunk every one of them after birth. They are well hydrated, and weight pretty heavy. The terrarium is pretty well sealed too.

I'd appreciate any comment. I will add a few pictures if it is necessary.

It could be genetics or too much CO2.  I recently read that putting cakes in the FC without waiting a week after 100% colonization can cause blobs.

I think it's probably a FAE problem.

I've also heard that Penis Envy has a tenancy to do that in the first flush.  Oh and too much humidity can cause that too.

It was 100% colonized, and it had heavy pin set already before birth.

Hmm curious...  Are you using RR's SGFC?  If not, look up that term.

Sorry, I don't know the term...:frown:

Can you tell me what it stands for?

I searched SGFC but couldn't find a definition.
