He asked what the absolute best method was, and I answered him.

You telling him not to use heat when I just said in the thread above that using heat is ok just threw me off.

Even if he only has 2 mushrooms, there is still no reason to tell him not to use heat...

My suggestion is to fan dry them for now, but if you have plans on growing more, it would only make sense to use a food dehydrator.

That is all...I was not trying to argue or anything......I come in peace lol.

What would the best and easiest way to dry mushies?? My plan was just to leave them out in open air until dry then store in jars.




best is food dehydrator, easiest is a fan if you have one, best and easiest if you don't have a dehydrator is prob a fan

aye a fan will do in a pinch especially with that quanity, but if you start growing more a dehydrator would be your best investment

Hello everybody, thanks for all the helpful information. I am back with some more questions!
So far I have only harvested the two very large mushies in the pics on page 2. Now their is a nice cluster about to picked on one of the brf cakes but they are not nearly as large as my first 2. Also the caps are somewhat folding and not completely stretching out. Is this a sign of low humidity or low fae?

Are the chances of contamination from  taking spore prints very high?? I would love to keep this Z strain and I have no method right now of continuing it. Any thoughts??

if you take a print to be absolutely certain you want it clean, start it on agar and one transfer should give you a good culture to work with.

otherwise make a syringe as sterile as you can.  fruits that are grown in open air are never 100% clean.  but they will work

Is it normal for my cakes to have halted on production? After pulling the 2 very large fruits, I did an improvement to my sgfc and have not had any pinning since. I Made every hole on the sgfc 1/4", previously they were alot smaller.

A few of my cakes have lost about 30% of the verm barrier. Should I roll again??

I dunked my cakes for 24hours after birthing, then rolled in verm. 
Is a 14watt cfl bulb enough light for fruiting??
Also, am I just being impatient? Is it normal for no fruits to appear for a little over a week??

Dude, you have your FC inside another basket?...are you covering some of the holes?  If you can, just prop it up a few inches with something.  I use two bowls, works great for me. 
I think you're hindering the airflow by covering up that many holes.....

You couldn't see in the pics but the FC is elevated about 4-5" The basket is to capture water. I have modified the basket to allow more light.



There is only one mushie growing, which started while in the jar but it's cap looks very strange. When do you consider a flush is over?

:thumbup: on the FC.

I believe a flush is over when all the caps have torn their veils, if they're not going to, then they're prob part of the next flush, and just leave them on when you dunk them.

I've been reading more and more lately that you should just harvest them when they are ready, and leave the rest for a day or two longer to finish before you pick'em.

Thanks for the info!
Is it normal for these pins to be white?? I can't recall well, but my very first pins weren't white like these. What do you all think??

Is this a sign of low humidity or some kind of issue? The last mushi I pulled had the cap split and it looked like the stem was growing thru.
My mushies seem considerably smaller now compared to the very first two.

Hello Shroomery!
I may be having a problem with cobweb mold and was hoping you all could confirm this. If so, what are the procedures to remove this unwanted mold? I have been misting far less per day, sometimes not at all. Also I leave the lid off the SGFC for a hour or so.
Here is a pic, is this early development of cobweb mold?
