Yes, just make sure to mist before each fanning, if needed.

You need to keep up with the substrates moisture content.

So here is the update, pinning started. This is day 3 of first pins:

areal of the best tube:

closeup of the largest group:


Most of the pins are 0.5-1cm tall often growing in clusters.

Questions:
-Can i still mist all over them or there is different set of rules for fruits (no moist on them)?

-Contaminates; i know its harder for contaminants to spread with full grown myc in there, but i noticed some greenish-orangy stuff on the lid of the tube (i presume i touched there with my finger) and i wiped it of with a paper towel. How big is the threat for contaminates to ruin everything?

- How to minimize abort numbers?

- How long will they continue to pin?

thx :smile:

you shouldn't need to mist a mono
mycelium can usually fend for itself and when colonized are contam resistent
to minimize aborts look into cloning/isolating
they will keep pinning tell the sub is spent

no misting? i thought its a must, since venting introduces dry air thet will eventually reduce humidity.

So aborts are bound to genetics/strain, not environment? Ok

The humidity in a monotub comes from the substrate....it shouls contain all the moisture needed for a descent first flush.

The polyfill helps keep in the humidity, while at the same time regulating the amount of fresh air the chamber gets.

Monotubs are made to be set and forget.....for the first flush at least.

The bottom holes should be stuffed tight, and the top holes loose.

hmm, ill stop misting until is see no moisture on the walls or should i stop completely?.

The tube design is far from perfect so FAE is lacking (it has been pointed out for me that "airborne" myc is sign of bad FAE). Should i continue fanning or just let it be (there is good picture of tube and holes on the page 1)?

I didnt pay attention when stuffing holes, so they are probably all wrong :laugh: will be more careful next time.

There should always be condensation in a monotub...no condensation usually means too much fresh air is getting in.

There should be a slight ring of dryness around each hole(adjust polyfil as needed).

Bottom holes super uber tight, and top holes loose.

A small update, mushies are doing nicely, im extremely happy how they look. Really really cool  :inlove3:



Some are already 5cm tall and that got me wondering.

My tube is ~15cm high, how high do PC usually grow?
Is it bad if they hit ceiling or will they just bend?

Oh and i know its not harvest time yet, but when it is do I harvest all in one go or do i pick just the biggest ons and let smaller ones grow a bit?

don't worry about it, if they touch something it's no big deal

Am not concerned about touching by itself, but lid of my tube has a lot of condensation, im afraid it might hurt the mushrooms. Actually, they cant be long from harvest once they grow that large so it shouldn't be a a big problem

thx

A small update:

Mushies are doing nicely, even harvested some of them already, but i have a problem. It seems that due to low FAE im getting fuzzy feet. I read about it and i took action to reduce the effect (fanning twice a day)

What bothers me is base of the mushrooms. It seems that they are growing out of a relatively large "bulb" of mycelium (in comparison to mushrooms growing out of them, bulbs are quite a bit thicker). Round, completely white and size of a walnut (note: not all of them have this "feature" some grow on much smaller base or non at all).

What do i do with them? do i (and how) harvest them or do i just pick fruits right where they start to grow out of it? 

Another question is about dunking. Since im not using cakes i dont think i can take everything out and just place it in water. What is the best way to rehydrate them?

i found this topic but this topic is 6 years old, would like some up to date info about it.

the mycelium at the base means fan more
cut as close to the base as possible with scissors orsomething
find some thing to weigh it down and soak for up to four hours
