I'm not so sure, they don't have heads so I didn't want to call them shrooms..yet! I'm only concerned because I rolled them completely in verm after dunking and in 3 days you can see theyre about 30% white on the outside, something is growing over the verm, it looks like..

Also, you mentioned a single pinning mushroom, but what are those three in the second-to-last pic? Dont see heads on them, though.
I agree...give them some time. Hard to tell what that three-clump mass is in the third picture, but the last picture shows what appears to be a healthy pin

I didn't want to call them shrooms without heads on them, but today they started growing them!
Does anyone know if it is safe to add perlite to my FC? I just got a hygromter and my humidity is a little on the lower side. I only have about 3 inches of perlite right now...should've done my reading.

How are the cakes doing, lowery?
As far as adding perlite goes...I've never done it with cakes birthing in the FC, but don't see any problem with adding some as long as you are careful. Is your humidity gained from misting?

You nailed it on the head brotha! I didn't end up adding any more perlite. Apparently all it took was patience (I know I know, rookies mistake). I did some research on the strain (Thai Pink Buffalo) and they typically take a little longer to pin than others. But here's an update for anyone interested:

Some pinning:

I'm a little worried about this one (note the splitting stem turning green):

I had two different questions; just felt like sharing in case Blo00mers hadn't seen the other one. My apologies if this is against Shroomery policy.

Not actually sure that it is being that the beginnings of the thread are different. I was pretty tired when I was on last night and didn't really look thoroughly, so if it is against the rules, maybe someone else will tell you.

Looking good!
And that's what it's all about...always learning. Nice grow going on. I have 5 different strains going right now and plan on making a ton of prints, so when the time comes I'll hit you up and see if you want any...expand that knowledge

BL00MERS--that would be super awesome. I was actually thinking about going agar and bulk after this grow. We'll see, just wanna learn!!!

If that print offer is open ended, I'd like to try out agar and cloning at some point, and will only have burma spores to do it with; might be more fun to try a few different strains.

I just read up on printing and making syringes; thinking about trying it as well with these Thai Pink Buffalos.

I grew Burma my first grow and it didn't go so well, is it typically a harder one to grow? Just out of curiosity. I only got 10 grams dry on 12 cakes  Quote:

I honestly don't know, I'm doing my first grow right now. The mycelium is a beautiful brilliant white and really colonizing well right now though, so I really hope they fruit well. 10g from 12 cakes is a little worrying though, I have 8 cakes, but only 5 of them have growth right now....
You've got me scared now!
Off topic, how do I inocculate with cloned material? My plan was to use the cardboard tek to clone from flesh, and I'm also searching for a tek on isolates, but that might be something for far off in the future. Anyway, do I just break the mycelium up and put it in a syringe, or is there a more complicated/simple process for this? (question for any knowing eyes)

No experience with Burma on this end, so I'm not too sure. Can't help much on the clone material either...I've only gone as far as G2G and LC's. Just finished my flow hood and have my petri dishes coming in the mail for starting some agar work. I'll look it up some and if I read anything interesting I will send you a link.
KatuXIK...not a problem to send some prints your way when they are ready. I'll have Golden Teacher, Z-strain, Camb, Braz, and some B+
Loving the picture...Isn't it great? Waiting waiting waiting and then they show up and grow so quickly. Love it.

Definitely hit me up when those are ready, I'd love to try out more than one strain, expand my pallet so to speak. :P

Thanks. Anyone got a clue why some of the caps started growing upward? I picked them off last night. Will post pics later today.

What do you mean upward? They continue growing away from the stem until the gills are fully extended, which is usually when the cap is slightly upturned. Unfortunately shrooms only look sexy if you pick them while they're sexy. :P
Also that set of gills extended off the top of the cap looks like either a mutation or (possibly?) an injury. Wont hurt you to eat mutants though, or you can even clone the little guys and spawn yourself a whole freak show!
