symptoms of dry mycelium?
    #20270007 - 07/14/14 07:53 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

What are symptoms that your mycelium is to dry? I know brusing is one but are there any others?

Just look for blue bruising that spreads.

Cracks on the surface. If you are worries about it being too dry just dunk it for 4 hours, cant hurt in between flushes.

I dunked them for 2 hours and coated them with verm. They are brf spawned to coir And been in fruiting conditions for about 2 weeks and I only have 6 pins. I took them out of the trays they were in so they are like a big cake. I have 8 of them they are 5"by 5" squares
              This is what they looked like before I dunked and put verm on them

And they were yellowish..at first I thought I was misting to much but now I think they are to dry so hopefully that 2 hour dunk and verm will help

I like to leave them in their tubs.  This way you need to mist and fan 5-6 times a day but it possible.  The more misting and fanning u do the more pins you will encourage..

You get that because its the best environment for the mushies to grow.  I just leave them there and pick them off at the end.  After a while the surface catches up and it becomes a much more even grow.

O ok...do you think 2 hours was long enough of a dunk? Or should I re dunk them for longer? Or just start misting more?

Pick one up and if it feels like it has enough water(heavy) in it they are fine. I think you will be able to work out that for yourself.  When I dunk in-between flushes I do so for 4 -12 hours depending upon how dry the cake is.  When I finish I leave the cake in an elevated position to drain off.  They usually then feel like a half filled sponge not dripping any water.

The reason you fan allot is to make the regularly misted cake surface evaporate as mush water a possible.  This is one of the major pinning triggers.  The more evaporation the more pins.

Ok I will check how they feel when I get home. I would hate to have to re dunk them I feel like if I keep screwing with them they will get stressed out.

Hmm, I got a similar issue but im not in between flushes, this is my first one. Even my biggest mushie has blue on the stem. Should I mist more? Btw I dunked for 24 hours before introducing to FC. That was about 5 days ago.
