The scene begins with me and Mr Buffalo up to our elbows in poo, filling a monotub.
Me: :::dumps pasteurized poo into the tub:::
Mr Buffalo: "Um, aren't you going to line the tub with a trash bag?"
Me: "Meh. People only really do it to prevent side pinning because it's annoying. It always sorta happens anyway, and it doesn't really bother me that much."
Mr Buffalo: "Ooook..."
Two weeks later.

I'm pretty sure it's because the weather got very dry and they weren't getting enough moisture, and decided to pin themselves in the dampest, warmest place in the box. The ones that were growing the fastest on the one side were closest to the heating unit. I managed to get a decent yield of ALL SIDEPINS. Well, there was that one dinky one that was not a side pin. There hasn't been much of a second flush yet, just two freakishly large fruits, again from the side. I'm thinking I might try a reverse casing next time, so the dirt layer is on the sides and bottom and the top is naked, because apparently they seem to not want to touch the dirt.

ya , they seem to love the freshair, and zero in on the fresh air shortly after pinning. I say freshair is key. then evaporation , then light...

ya, u know they will contam sooner or later. I just up the odds in my favor by altering the ph of the fruiting substrate. it works ...:]

PastyWhyte does that, I think. From what he told me, he's had success in putting the second tub in on top of the fruited substrate, then flipping and removing the outside tub to harvest all the side and bottom pins.
Speaking of which, have you looked at the bottom of your monotub, OP? I think it might make you

That's exactly what I do. Easy as pie to harvest. OP probably does have a burtload of bottom pins for sure.

Your upper layer isn't getting enough moisture to maintain evap. Plug your bottom holes tighter to raise the level of humid air.

I'm pretty sure that was what was going on. I actually had the top holes completely open, and I stuffed a very light wad of stuffing in them, too. I've been periodically misting through one of the holes to try to increase the humidity. Quote:

There were actually only maybe 1 or 2 bottom pins, and those little retards are just going to have to accept their fate for failing at life.

They're going to push up on the bottom of that substrate like a hydraulic lift, and then you'll have all sorts of bottom pins!

Apparently Phallus sp. is literally strong enough to push up pavement. Huge boner mushrooms piercing your driveway sounds freaky as shit, lol.

I never thought of harvesting side pins like that. I just took a large santoku knife and sliced all the way around. That sounds way easier. I've also never thought to dunk a tub. I'll give it a whirl, maybe they'll like going naked.
