some guy i know dunked, cold shocked, rolled in verm, double end cased and birthed pF tek cakes (b+) about a 6 days ago. Imediatly fluffy myclem grew into pointy spikes that he thought would develope into pins but so far it seems like nothing more has happened. the temp is at 75 and RH is a little low at 85 ( he's working on this one by misting often w/ perlite).
i'm gonna try to post pictures soon
Let me know if you have any suggestions or should i tell the guy i know he just need to be patient. thanks

I may stick to fanning only once a day to keep the humidity up at least till fruiting starts. Can misting over the cakes be harmfull?

Thanks, I'm gonna wait it out before making any changes.
Will staring at the terarium yelling "grow" help?

Those "pointy" things sound like rhizmorphic strands to me , very good ! Keep the rh stable , give plenty of fresh air , keep light on for a minimum of 6-12 hours a day , and have patience . Pins will look like more bulb like than pointy . You are close  Good Luck

Stare at set up and yell help ? Pray to the Mushroom Goddess for a bountiful crop May The Mushroom Goddess Bless All Your Endeavors ! PS stop misting when pins do appear , or least keep mist from directly landing on little ones .

Yep that is rhizmorphic strands poking from the surface of the cake , looks great . That middle cake has signs of primordia forming though , I bet you it puts out the first mushies . What makes you think your rh is not high enough ?

"What makes you think your rh is not high enough ?" - my humidity gauge reads 85%, bu tit is just one of those cheap ones that you get at pet store so i don't know how accurate it is.
Yeah i like the middle cake my favorite ,but i'm betting on the one on the lower left it's always been very advanced, anyone want to start a mushroom pool

Do not trust that reptile style hygrometer , they are 9 out of 10 times wrong . Walmart has some digital ones for about 14$, they are "a little " more reliable than those cheap plastic ones . I bet you are with a reasonable tolerance , if worried add a humidifier/air exchanger to the chamber . Here is a pic of one my Cousin IT uses , you get them at Petsmart in the reptile area for 20$ plus a pump 5 -20$ , works great have more rh than needed at times .
 Good Luck

do you still use any pearlite or geolite with that humidifier or do you just put the cakes/casings on the bottom of the terrarium?

Nothing can stop the mighty B+. NOTHING!! MWA, HA, HA! Just give them time. I have had half pint B+ casings give up fruit for well over 6 weeks once they started. It's a beutiful strain.

white fluffy stuff on top of the verm?
Sounds like the mycelium colonizing the verm. It's probably not going to be as bright a white as the rest of the cake.
