Growing, but leaving for a period.
    #20251428 - 07/10/14 04:30 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

So, I've almost completed my first grow. 3/4 pf cakes have made it to full colonization and I dunked and rolled one, then used a two liter soda bottle fruiting chamber and cased the top with a small layer of coir. The other two I crumbed in coco coir/verm mix in a minimono tub as an experiment. Turns out both are doing excellent and now I have a total of 12 pins on the cake, and 7 large ones in the mono. So I have two questions.

The pins are about a centimeter long at largest. I'm leaving for 5 days and I'll be back by Tuesday. Besides opening and depositing spores, will the old mushrooms decay?:/

Also, there are mushies growing on the sides of the substrate in the monotub. What should I do about this? How to harvest them?

Thanks for your help guys.

Hard to say, but if you are fruiting your cakes and they already have mushrooms on them, 5 days is a long time.  That's also a long time to go without misting.

I've accidentally left shrooms on a tray for 2 weeks.  The shrooms were black from spores and some were mushy.  I threw a few out and dried the rest and have eaten them with good results.  You can see pics of them in my sig somewhere down the post.

Okay thanks man. I'm actually trying two experiments(I know it probably wasn't the best idea for my first grow) and all is going accordingly. One is a mini mono so misting is optional, and for the two liter soda I actually filled the bottle with three inches of vermiculite and then water up to the same level. This allowed the very edges of the cake and mycelium from the cake to "reach out" for any water it needed and so far I have 12 good looking pins so we'll see how the yield there works.
