Do I still birth this cake or put in FC

I have a cake ready to be birthed but I noticed a 2 or 3 inch shroom growing in the jar, and wanted to know if I should still submerge it for 24 hours as usual or just put it in the fruiting chamber?

I'd pick it, eat it, then dunk the cake.. (love the taste of fresh ones)

I have to still go buy a bag of perlite tomorrow, do I birth it as is with the two or three pins and the long shroom in it? Or do I just fruit it as is when I get the perlite?

you should dunk and roll now. that big pin will prob fall off during handling. I wouldn't worry to much. get that sucker soaking and get some perlite. should have birthed when you first seen the pinheads...looks good man. you could do a 2 liter bottle with holes terrarium and some wet papertowel or cardboard. to get by. till you get your fc setup. gl...

Ok, what about the little shroom if it falls off do I dry it and store it for when I harvest or throw it away? Also to birth it has to be cold water correct?

the pin is good to eat...cold water is fine. I usually use lukewarm water myself. but I don't think it matters.

Dunk & roll! If you are gental and can keep those pins on, they can become mamoth. They have for me. Cold water out of the tap. Just not hot water.
If they fall off, just dry them with a fan/desicant. Save for later.

Alright, I got it in the fruiting chamber now for about 24 hours almost, when taking the cake out of the jar I bruised the big one obviously and it bled a little blue, but I dunked it in cold water for 24 hours still. Was this Ok? I moved it to the FC earlier and I went to mist it and the cake fell over some how, could any of this hinder or effect growth substantially? One last thing how much to mist and how many times to fan and do I mist the shrooms themselves or no?

it will be fine just leave it alone now(poor little thing), mist until the surface glistens and follow up with a 30 second or so fan and repeat when the moisture evaporates and the surface starts to dry

Both with a fine GENTLE mist. Then fan afterwards. ONLY MIST WHEN IT NEEDS IT.

I would chop that bruised one off and have a pre harvest taste test! Your cake will be fine tho, I have heard of people geting decent fruits with cakes that have split in two because of mishandeling/accidents.

Alright, so its fine if the shrooms growing get a little wet from spraying and is using a fan above the FC while open for about a min good or is fanning it by hand better? Also do they need darkness to grow? Because I have them under a coffee table getting some light all the time basically 24 hours from the lights in the house is this bad that they get no darkness really?

Misting fruits is fine and whatever works for the fan and yes they should get dark time, the do most of there expanding during the dark cycle
