spores?
    #19278116 - 12/15/13 07:56 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello, this is my first harvest ever, that's why i'm asking. Are those spores? they opened up, I thought they would grow bigger. Should I be cleaning this up? if so, how?

this was yesterday



today

Yes, that's spores.

Next time don't grow your mushrooms in the dark without any fresh air.  They need bright light and fresh air to reach proper size.

They look look they needed more FAE.

I don't see any holes in your tub. Lack of holes would cause the low FAE issue.

Fruiting Chamber
A SGFC has 1/4" holes spaces 2 inches apart in a grid patten on all six sides. 4-6 inches of moist perlite. No attachments made to it with any extra things like humidifiers. Optimally the SGFC should be in the middle of a room. No fans should be run in the room with the SGFC, but a cracked window is OK. A humidifier in your house can help to raise the ambient RH but don't put it near your SGFC put it in the other corner of the room if you do decide to run a humidifier at all. The SGFC IMO should have at least 6-12 inches of room from any wall on all 6 sides. This includes finding some sort of raisers to elevate the SGFC off of the surface it's on.
This is what can happen if you make your SGFC the right way.
Here's what will happen if you do it the wrong way. You'll likely rage quit.

Misting and Fanning.
This is a source of much grief and 100's of posts a week here. Misting and fanning is not at all complicated as it needs to be. In general you'll mist your cakes until they glisten(yes they can even with the verm on them) and then fan right after the mist. You can mist your cakes directly and you should. When you notice the cake is no longer glistening you can mist it again and then fan. This occurs on average of 3-5 times a day. Don't worry about sleeping or being gone 12 hours. Just do it when you're around and don't forget about it is all. Fanning is not FAE it's only purpose is to relive the high RH air so that the cakes can get a kickstart on evaporation.

FAE
This is a phenomenon (Fresh air exchange) in a properly built SGFC this is constantly happening. The perlite is naturally cooler than the surrounding air this moves molecules closer to eachother as the lose kinetic energy. This creates low pressure which pulls air up through the bottom holes. As the air moves through the perlite it picks up humidity and keeps the chamber at or above 90%RH. This occurs naturally without the fanning and is why we like to have no fans in the room and is also why fanning after misting is not a replacement for FAE.

You would need to fan several times per hour.

I thought the SGFC had a hole every 2 inches on all 6 sides... OP you might wanna look than into that. If you made it wrong it doesn't matter that you added holes it will help but not fix your problem.

Which explains the poor performance.  Get a clear tub.  80% of the light enters from the sides, not the top.  With your setup, the black tub absorbs what little light does get through.  Pony up $10 for a proper tote next time.  And when you do, drill holes every 2 inches on all six sides.
