Hmm i had to open my big fat mouth, just yetserday i said i had bugs all over my patch and everything was fine, well today i check up on my mushies and 4 out of 5 of them had bites taken out of them... they were pretty big chunks too... im thinking it was a bird or a squirrel, but i guess it could be bugs too... well i picked the bitten ones, and left the rest.... hopefully if it was a bird or a squirrel they wont come back for more...

Sorry mate but the little mites are hard to fight. That's why the pros spend all that money on grow houses with protective ventalation systems, well one of the reasons. My brother was growing oyster mushrooms as a side business last year and that's what took his grow house down. He has a tremendous 1st flush then the mites came out. If you go to the contam FAQ there's a link to a university that studies all that stuff but to fight the mites the focus is prevention. Not much to do after infestation.

Man, is that really what i have to do to keep these bugs at bay? i woke up today and checked up on my mushrooms and i found one semiburied with cap open.... i went ahead and picked it, and i found a little hole eaten clean through it..... WTF this is probably the 5th mushrrom ive picked from this patch and ALL of them have had chunks taken out of them... the bugs never eat more than one hole or chunk... so i guess they are being somewhat respectful... but still.... i want whole mushrooms Not mushrooms wiht HOLES.....

you could try this: Take some tabacco (best unbleached something like rolling tabacco) en put in some water and let stand overnight. Put it in your plantduster en spray the shit out of em. The tabacoo bites in all their tiny holes and eyes but at the sametime be food for the mycelium. Tried it and they loved it good luck

I have to say this is very interesting reading material.
I want whole mushrooms, not mushroom holes...

my friend has an outdoor patch.. He is not sure of the culprit here , but something is eating his shrooms.. he has a bucket on top too so its something coming through the ground and mostly eating half a cap and then leaving.. Lately the lil Fucker's have been eating the whole thing from the ground up... he just see's a damn stump.. think DE would work with this problem?
