King Oysters are starting to fruit on straw.....?????
    #19334037 - 12/27/13 06:37 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

My King O's are starting to fruit, they are 1/2" and smaller.
Any pro tips to helping them out at this stage.
I have lots of FAE and can control temp +/- one degree.
Should I manually mist?
This is awesome for me and I have to thank Out-Grow.com for the jars and culture syringe.
I'll try and post a pic later on.

Keep your RH up.  Misting definitely helps.  Good luck and post some pics

High humidity, manual misting and cool temps help.

Surprised no one's mentioned pruning?

Just fruiting these my first time as well.  Mine made like 1,000 pins.  If you don't kill off some of 'em, none will grow that big.  Pick the biggest/best mushrooms and chop off most of the rest.  That's how I like to do it anyway based on what I've read around here, seemed to work well.

T3chno, Aleon, you guys don't prune?!

In general no, but it is a good technique if your block is over-pinning.  I run my grow room drier (because I have 100+ shiitake blocks in there too) and this means I get a small amount of pins with at most only 2-3 small aborts.

Sounds like your method would be preferable, I couldn't imagine having to go through and prune a large number of blocks on a regular basis, it was kind of a PITA doing just a few.  Both strains I've worked with so far seem to like to make a ton of pins...

So far my best success (using a store clone) has been restricting where they can fruit from. I fruited mine in a bucket and cased it with a small layer of peat moss.

Probably not feasible with a straw log though, so pruning is probably best

I have never pruned mine. Some do abort; nothing can support that many pins.  I like to put a clear produce bag over mine and punch some holes in the produce bag.  So it gets fresh air but stays super humid.

I was just noticing that this morning on one bag, it kinda aborted a lot of pins itself anyway, so maybe pruning isn't really necessary :shrug:

Definitely maintaining humidity and restricting where they can pin from is ideal. I've only ever fruited this off supplemented wood chips but I have several store bought clones and commercial strains (which are in discernable) that fruit readily off agar so they can have a high pinning tendencies.
