Throw out that one cake that has the green on it. That's mold that can easily contaminate the rest of your grow AND grow space.

In your fruiting chamber do you have FAE? (fresh air exchange)

Thanks for correcting me. His setup looks like it lacks FAE, no?

My diagnosis is that you need to make a sgfc to spec. If text is hard for you, buy RR's Let's Grow Mushrooms.

with these two cakes I used a dome like chamber which has work the best as far as keeping temperature and humidity . but I never dunked or rolled these two cakes. i can send pics for u to see for ur opinion. cuz they have been in this chamber for a few weeks with no pins.

I also am new and am curious if my fruiting has failed and if I can simply sprinkle salt on too fix it Which I doubt since it's covered the straw substrate. What are your thoughts? Here is a video of it.

with out the dunk and roll i'd suggest sitting them in a sauce of water over nite and just keep a close eye on the moisture on the surface of them to tell you when to mist

yes you can just dunk them, just watch the moisture on the surface of your cakes and wait for it to mostly evaporate before misting again

Wtf? Are you fruiting that in an open air environment? You should really look into a sgfc. Get a clear plastic tote. Drill a bunch of holes in it. Put some perlite in the bottom an there ya go. There's lots of teks on here for it. Best of luck to ya buddy

Ignore my post. I'm half wasted on jaeger and when I saw your pic of your cake on what looked like to be a plastic bowl I thought you were fruiting it like that. Lol

if you didn't dunk and roll them, why is there verm on the bottom of the cake? Is that your contam barrier? You should rinse the cake off and get as much of that off as you can bro...there's a good possibility that it could be hosting some nasties. You really should roll them too...you don't have to, but it helps the cake keep moisture without it pooling. There are a lot of reasons for the dunk n roll....just type it in the search bar and read a bit...you'll see it's pretty important!!
Good luck
