First grow, question about pins, with photo.
    #18728519 - 08/19/13 04:37 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hello everyone. I'm busy with my first grow. I have a question about my pins.

The largest pins in the photo are about the size of the last joint on a (not too manly) pinky finger. The pins in the middle to the right as well as the left look like the gills are already open.

Is that normal?

Here is a picture at a similar angle about 24 hours later. The largest pins there are about the size of half a pinky.



Here you can see one of the pins in question. It's still growing, but it's gills are already visible. About a quarter of the mushrooms/pins have their gills already open.

I think the photo gives a false sense of scale... The mushroom in the last photo is about 2cm/less than an inch tall. It's had its gills exposed since it's been formed. There are a couple other like that as well, not only on this one cake.

Is it normal for some mushrooms to form with their gills already exposed like that?

Okay, cool, thanks.

Do they still develop spores even though they grow with an open veil?

Thanks for your help. You've set my mind at ease.

I can hardly wait to get my first spore print so I can start growing again. There are so many things feel I can do better after going through some of the info on the site.

Psilocybe Cubensis ( B+ )

It seemed to be a good choice for a beginner.
