Kind of a WEIRD question but I hope someone has the answer!!!

So I harvested some PF style cakes the other day and put my mushrooms in my container to dry. The caps are still continuing to grow and open. Does anyone know how to stop this?

What kind of container do you have them in? I know after i have harvested one of my first grows i could see a small amount of difference in cap size from before i picked them to the next day, but i would not say they kept growing.

You should maybe add a fan to speed things up. They are still alright but you don't want things to get messy, do you?

I have an air pump that is pumping fresh air into the upper chamber.

It's a closed container with an air pump that pumps fresh air into the upper chamber. It has holes drilled in the bottom, with DampRid in the bottom chamber.

It looks like some kind of desiccant chamber. Desiccant is good for long term storage but it isn't so good for drying fresh mushrooms. Put them on a paper towel and in front of a fan or even better use a food dehydrator.

Your pumping fresh air full of moisture into your drying chamber. Your desiccant will be spent in no time and ur Mushies will still be wet. Make 2 separate containers, use your pump as a fan then when they're close put in a SEALED desiccant chamber.

your air pump will not produce the air needed to dry ur fruit call some freinds sey if they have a fan or a dehydrator or yea go buy one
or turn your oven as low as it will go and set up some sort of rack so your are just useing the heat from the oven yes you leave the oven door open

Idk I use a fan but with a big enough air pump I bet he could make it work. Def agree with hoon though, get a fan dude.

Pretty cool huh?
Looks like you kept them from drying out and they had enough stem and were far enough along to finish out.
You can also hydrate dried mushrooms and they will grow myc again. Looks like they were hydrated enough and they started to grow myc all over their stems after a few days basically cloning.

lmao... yea the object is to dry them man... take them out and put in a cardboard box.. shoe box will do.. then put them in front of a fan.
u dont really ever want to put fresh mushies into a sealed container
I've seen spores germinate on top of my mushies before while in the fc still but growing will stop once they start to dry.
if you seal em up fresh for too long contams can start to grow on them and they can also get really mushy and gross
