i try to keep telling myself that yet i still find room to worry how long should it take to fully mature after pinning?

Not so simple with pe. with pe you can let them grow long after the veils break. If they start to feel soft or look bluish on the cap then I would pick them. Do not worry about the side pins rotting as long as you get them when you pick the rest.
Also google " when to pick penis envy" and there is a lot of threads out there
Also, the caps will open and the top of the stem will buldge and deform, thats when you know

And some will open a little later, but when the biggest ones are ready I would just pick them all, soak and go for a second flush

They need more time. I wonder why you got so much side pinning and not very much top pinning? It is too dark to tell, but it looks like it may not have been fully colonized when fruited.
Either that or it was too dry. What do you have it in? Did you mist often after putting in fruiting conditions?

Ahh, I overlooked that.
OP I see you have taped the outside, to block light I assume. What the plastic liner does, besides block light, is to hug the sides of the substrate when it shrinks and can prevent that side pinning from happening

It has nothing to do with blocking light.....clear liners can be used as well.
It has everything to do with preventing FAE from hitting the sides.
The plastic will stick to the sides of the substrate while it consolidates, eliminating that microclimate.

It does help if it is darker as bright light is one of several pinning triggers

HAHAHA I fucking KNEW you were going to quote RR. His word is not the gospel. Fact
I have done experiments where I have taken the same isolate in 2 different tubs and placed one in a completely dark room with all light blocked out, and one in a regular fruiting room . . . Guess what?
The tub in the dark didnt pin . . . for a whole month! Then two days after I put it in the regular fruiting room . . . Guess what?
Pins!
I know for a fact that blocking out light from the sides helps with side pinning, despite what you or RR have to say about it
I know you and RR both know a lot, but coming from someone who puts out tubs like the one above on the regular, I know a lot too.
And light DOES make a difference

Not to mention none of his pics of cubensis grows have anything on my grows, so I can only assume I am just as skilled as RR in that area of mycology . . .

Sure it DOES make a difference, but blocking light will not stop side pinning completely.
On the other hand using a liner and blocking all FAE will.
Use clear liners and you will see.....all the no side pinning.
You cannot get pinning without FAE and/or full colonization, but you can get pinning without light...it happens all the time in nature.....
So if you stop all FAE, but give it lots of light, it will not really pin.
You are trying too hard buddy....
You might know a lot, I am not doubting this, but you do not have the experience of a 40 year mycologist.
I agree his opinion isn't always "gold", but goddam, he is not just talking out his ass.
I believe he does this for a living......but I could be wrong.....

Well when I see cubensis grows of his that match what I do then it would be safe to stop assuming that. I am not trying to boast,just merely point out that from what I have seen of his cubensis grows they are not on par with what I do

Not to mention, from my own experience with intense/direct lighting....it does not cause pinning at any stage, colonization or fruiting.
My grain jars colonize on a shelf litterally 4-5 feet away from my light fixture which has bare bulbs with no shade, and all my tubs colonize and fruit in the same closet, with the same light setup, on the same schedule, with no early pinning.
My tubs do not pin until FAE it introduced, no matter the light levels.

I have all my stuff in the same room as well, and your jars do not pin in bright light because they are not getting the fresh air yet
There was also one instance when I moved and I had a bunch of colonizing jars that I put into storage. And in my new place I just ended up starting everything from scratch. So 5 months later I go to my storage and had forgotten all about these jars. They were now beyond fully colonized, myc climbing up the side of the jars. But not one pin in the whole bunch
Within 3 days of bringing them home and exposing them to light they were all full of pins . . . but still had no freah air

I am just saying I do not think he has grown as many monotubs of cubensis as I have, that's all. He has a different style of growing

Well there was that time and the one time I tried to fruit a tub in total darkness just to see . . . But as you said, blocking light from the side of a monotub will not stop side pinning completely. It will reduce it though.
And just to clarify I do not by any means think I know more about mycology than RR . I do suspect however, that I might be a little better at fruiting monotubs of cubensis

No doubt.
I've never fruited a monotub of cubensis. By the time Ohmatic built his first monotub, I was long-gone from growing cubensis and only growing edibles. Most of the advice I've given in the last decade here is a result of research into edibles which are much harder to grow. The research into pinning properties of edibles has led to advances in mushroom growing which have resulted in far better cubensis flushes than I ever got decades ago when my scanned 35mm pictures were taken. In fact, there will be another major announcement regarding brand new changes to our mushroom farm in the next few months.
Light is definitely a pinning trigger, but its effect comes on after full colonization unless someone puts colonizing jars in direct sunlight which will cause early pinning every time.
The liner on tubs prevents the fresh air exchange around the edges. However, I'm of mixed opinion on this one. I've seen massive flushes from side mushrooms which easily matched the yield of wall-to-wall flushes on the top surface. If you look at manure in a cow pasture, the cubensis almost always fruit from the edges of the pile, not on top. It seems reaching the edges of the substrate is a natural signal for cubensis to pin, and it seems to want to do it there. RR

Never thought about that before, but it makes sense why they like to side pin so much.

im no using a monotub i had bins in a martha that arent very big should i use liner and what should i use for liner? im going o start using aluimin foil soon because i wanted a deeper substrate should i line them as well? keep in mind this is my completely first grow and those are my first pins ive ever had. Am i atleast doing alright?

Yes you are definitely doing alright for your first grow. Better than I did my first grow. I would not use foil if I were you. Myc can apparently eat through it and it gets kinda messed up and hard to handle after a couple flushes.
But if you do, you still want to line it because when the substrate sinks, plastic liner will shrink with it. This prevents air from getting down there and causing side pins.
As was discussed you could use clear or black. I like to use black because I feel it helps a little.
When you pick them you can soak for around 6 hours, drain, then put back in fruiting and should have a second pinset in a few days. Also make sure you dry/store them good so you do not ruin all your hard work

You could pretty much pick them any time now pretty much. With penis envy you cannot take a spore print, only a swab, so you might want to get into cloning if you want to preserve your culture
Yes it could be a garbage bag. And there is really no way to sterilize it, but at that stage the myc will have somewhat of an immune system to fight off contams. That is why you can open it and mist,fan it every day without getting contams.
I just put the inside of the bag facing up because I figure it was less exposed to outside spores during production and packing

now when you say to preserve my culture why couldnt i countinuosly just do rye to rye which is what im trying to accomplish now. would that be innefective? and what do i do after a cotton swab i havent got much into that.

Well if youre doing grain to grain with rye that works, if you clone a mushroom you could get better yields.
You would need a sterile cotton swab(q-tip) and rub it up in the gills, then quickly put it into a ziplock baggie. Then when I make the spore syringe I will wipe the surface of the plastic bag with alcohol and stick the needle right through the plastic and squirt water onto the q-tip with the spores and rub it to knock some loose, then suck the water back up.
I didnt order sterile cotton swabs so I just threw some q-tips into a jar and pressure cooked it

No not at all, that is just how you get spores from penis envy. You should definitely use the search and read all you can about cloning before you try it

Well it is not cloning or agar, you clone TO agar. Like cut a piece of the mushroom and place it on agar. But there is a lot to it, way to much for me to type out, so you should research it. And you could also do the cardboard cloning tek which does not use agar and is easier. I have even cut a piece of the mushroom and stuck it in a grain jar to grow out and do a g2g.
What I did to get that harvest is use a 66qt tub with a cloned penis envy culture. Using coco/verm and some gypsum
I use popcorn for my spawn. A lot of people talk a lot of shit on popcorn saying it is hard to work with or whatever but I love it over any other grain

I use 7 quart jars, and about 9 of substarte material. I have no martha, just monotubs. It is in a small room with a temp regulated heater. I keep it between 74-78 f. I fruit and incubate in the same room

No its not like a martha setup at all. Just tubs with lids stacked on each other.
Not always, but in my expereince the bigger the tub, the bigger the fruits
