What to do if pinning occurs on bulk substrate before 100% colonization?
    #14742707 - 07/09/11 08:40 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Hello everyone,

I'm a long time lurker, and I've been growing mushrooms on and off for the past 3 years. Anyways, on the latest batch, I've found something I'm not familiar with. In my bulk coir substrate, there's lots of white, but also still quite a bit of non colonized spots. Everything looks healthy, but pinning has already occured. I don't have a camera at the moment so I can't take a picture.

What procedures do I follow if something like this happens? I'd say it's only at about 70% colonization, but besides that, everything looks good.

Thanks in advance.

I had pins begin to form on an 80-85% colonized substrate. I was told by people on this forum to put it into fruiting conditions and hope that it colonizes quickly enough to avoid contamination.

It did and the tub was very productive :smile:

Theres really not much you can do but hope for the best and maybe go back over your procedure and see if you can figure out why they pinned early,just keep them in fruiting conditions

I'd keep it covered as long as you can, if pins grow to be an inch (not just one or two, but alot) then you'll have to fruit it. Chances are though, if its pinning, its as ready as itll get and it should be able to fight off contamination.
