Should I harvest these shrooms and are they ok??
    #14750341 - 07/11/11 09:23 AM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys,
I'm not quite sure whether these shrooms are ready to harvest and also whether they're OK... some of them still have white stuff (which i assume is mycelium) on them and one or two of the larger ones look ready to split; I attached a few photos. There's also a large white bulge which is not too easy to see on the photos, about the size of a large coin.
Do you think they're good to harvest? some of them look ready to split and one seems to have curled up or something, I took a pic of that as well.
It's my first time growing; I'm using an 'ecuadorian' shroom growkit (Cubensis).
Thanks very much! :smile:

Looking at your pictures, I can't see any that are absolutely ready to go...while I haven't played with Eq specifically, IME the cap tends to get bigger before I pick them; your looking for a universal veil thats just starting to burst, and I can't see any that have formed yet. It will only really hurt yield to pick early, but I would give it a few more days.

If the fruits have mycelium, it tends to be an indication of a need for more FAE....a symptom usually coupled with elongated stems, which you also seem to be suffering. I haven't worked with fruiting in bag like that, but try giving it a little more TLC with a fan/spray bottle

Congrats on your grow!

I assume by tlc you mean 'tender loving care'? there's a lot of moisture in the bag, i don't know whether that could have any negative effects... thanks for your help! :thumbup:

If moisture seems good I'd go with more FAE (fresh air exchange) Open up the bag and fan them a few times a day at least.
