I have a question! This top shroom is ready to harvest today perhaps. I want to catch it right before it tears the veil. But, the ones near it aren't ready. Do I wait for the others to catch up...or do I harvest the larger shroom risking damaging or upsetting the others?

Edited the photo to make it focus on the cake.

By the way check out this bad boy, I can't wait to see how this plays out in a week! This one is in another tub on my dresser.


Two things I've learned in my first attempt at cakes.
1. Mushrooms pin and fruit when they're ready, not when I'm ready.
2. I used the tall half pint jar instead of the stout variety. If I do cakes again I'll buy the fatter kind.

Would you then harvest the stem of that fruit when you harvest the rest? Is this not to disturb the mycelium distribution in the cake?

yep the stem can wait till the rest are ready or you can snip it wherever you want really as long as you get the cap

Could you just snip it at the base of the stem and the rest of the fruits wouldn't be disturbed? Would yanking it out of the cake disturb the other fruits? Thanks. And OP, your grow looks like it's going great. Keep us posted I'm looking forward to your next update.

I didn't want to make another thread to show off my latest pics so I'm borrowing my first thread from a while back. Anyway, I tend to get bored and start to fuck around.
Some pics of what I'm tinkering with. I have a couple brf jars going, neither are the proper size but I think it'll be ok. Started messing around with the pp5 containers as well.
Cased a PP5 container yesterday, I have a bit too much spawn but I think it'll be ok.

A pp5 container waiting to be colonized

Another pp5 container cased and probably not quite enough spawn. This was my first attempt at this method so the next containers should be more like half full of seed rather than 1/3 or 3/4

Yep, a pp5 brf container, had to try it. It does take quite some time to get just to this stage, I'm hoping it doesn't pin soon 

Another pp5 cake in the making

Almost theeeerreee...almost theeeerrreeee [star wars reference]

Mycelium is beautiful

Pint jar, thought I'd try it out

Grass seed in a pp5 colonizing

pp5 v tek style with brf works well! esp cased!


vs uncased

id say ur spawn amt is ok, just lighten up on casing (based on ur pics). the spawn is what will make the fruits/yeild, the casing just protects/helps them. when using the short containers, u will need to get a proper fruiting chamber because the lids will need to come off. SGFC is my go to

i kno the 2nd pic does not look cased b/c of the colonization of layer, but i was experimenting with coir (10%) added to peat/verm. so the myc ate it up a bit more than usual

Yeah I have two SGFC's sitting waiting to put these bad boys in. The casing layer is a tad thinner than what the pictures show [i think]. I used my [sanitized glove on] finger to lightly nudge the soil up against the side of the container.
I'll give it I guess a week to 10 days to colonize the casing layer and then fruit those bad boys.
Once I'm done with these jars I'm not doing the prf tek anymore. It was nice to get started and get introduced to the hobby but I really like working with grains.
I'm also going to start working with brown rice.

i have only used WBR as spawn twice, and its ok, can't seem to tell a difference btw that and rye/wbs . just did a casing of a mono the other day (first time casing a mono, usually case smaller things like trays) and i think i made it too thick as well... 
worst that happens is it stays in colonization a bit longer (unless u made it as thick or thicker than sub....but thats just silly
oh well, u live, u learn.
