Is this normal?
    #19047035 - 10/28/13 04:39 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I'm growin' some golden mushrooms...
I inoculated these jars, and of course they colonized at different rates, and now I've finally got some mushrooms growing.
I'm really stoked, but I'm a little concerned about the way that they're growing.
The first cake I put in the chamber (the one with the biggest mushroom) only the two pins that were in the cake grew, and there's no other pins on the cake.
The other cakes that haven't grown full grown mushrooms yet, are only pinning in certain places, and they're all clustering together. The pictures of other people's cakes I've seen have been covered in pins.
So what I'm wondering is that if it's normal for the pins to cluster together,
If the full grown mushrooms are pick-able,
and if the blue on the bottom stem is okay?




Sorry all the pics are crooked, I can't get tinypic to rotate my pictures.

That is bruising and it is normal.

Keep us updated, lets hope for a better second flush after dunk and re-casing.

Not trying to hijack the thread,

but is there a reason why some cakes only fruit in small areas where as others fruit all over the cakes?

Or is it just random luck?

Anyway to get cakes to fruit from more of the surface area?

Genetics.

Yes luck with multi spore inoculations

Isolate a strain that pins where you want it to on your chosen substrate

Should be some nice pictures, they were taken with a Canon PowerShot A3400 IS - that biatch is 16 MP :wink:

Cheap too though, just about a hundred dollars.

There's no reason to really. What's important is yield. A cake may produce a few large mushrooms in one area or a bunch of small mushroom all over but the overall yield doesn't depend on which one. Personally I would actual prefer a smaller number of relatively large mushrooms.

Thanks everybody!!
I thought I'd post a picture of literally 2 days later-


This is my first grow (obviously) and I'm so amazed at how quickly these things are growing.

Do you have a clear lid on that tub?

Also, do you have it in your closet or something?

Looks like pretty normal growth to me. Yes you should pick the ones that are fruiting well. Use a sharp knife/scalpel and cut them as close to where they touch the cake as possible to avoid taking chunks out of your substrate and causing contamination. Harvest them right as the veil is starting to tear, or as soon as possible afterwards if you miss that. The one on the left in the top picture needs to be harvested.

Blue bruising is normal. They will bruise a lot when you touch them.

With a MS inoculation on PF Cakes you will get a few things.
  • A lot of really good small/medium shrooms
  • 1-2 really big shrooms for cakes.
  • Most of these issues are a result of random genetics
  • Sometimes it is fruiting conditions, like where your misting on the cake.
  • The only way to have consistent results is to move to an isolate on agar.
