Thats after i raped it last friday.
Characteristics seems to be very similar.
What did you use for your top layer? I think the dirt i used was too heavy with clay for a real good flush...
No spores though.... Ever get any out here?

Yea, those look to be Azzies too They could be allenii or something though. I'm not really an ID guy but there is no way of knowing from the pix unless you know what and where the spores came from.....
I used roots organic potting soil this year to cover the chips but last year I just used soil from the area when I made the bed.
They should drop prints if you leave them alone for a while and let them mature more. These guys tend to fruit very slowly.
These fruits dropped very dark prints but took about 2 weeks to do so.

I took about 20 prints of so last season.
I use a tote with holes drilled to lay over the patch to protect it as it fruits to get them along long enough to print.
I mist it once in the morning everyday but not too heavily and I use a fine mist when doing it.
Here is an update on the ones that are going now..

was looking forward to see how the bed worked out as they started to fruit outside again! just read this all it was really interesting and you really took some porno shots last season the leaves and grass just made it 10X better. Still excited to see this go around.

Hey Ham,...
How have you been?
I will can hook you up with one if I can manage to get them there this year but won't have a give-a-way or anything like that. Shoot me a PM and I'll see about getting one out to you if it happens.. The forecast should give me another week or two until the temperature gets too low to cover the tote with a tarp to ward off the cold over night. They can handle a few freezing nights with a tarp so long as the day temp rises up enough but if it stays below freezing for more than 24 hours straight it is pretty abusive to the little guys..

They seem to be only throwing side pins this year. I am assuming this is due to the present situation with them being stuck in a tote and all. Next year I will lay them back down into a bed if I get a chance.
Not much has changed but here is an update.

Maybe the center is too wet? Maybe if you score the center, dry it out, and throw some casing on mushrooms will pin in the grooves?
At any rate I think they would benefit from drying out a little. The ones that have already grew are getting big quickly with more than adequate moisture at least though.
How thick is the substrate?

weird... don't see azures in tubs too often

Have you had an issue with cracking caps because of the rate of growth?

Yea, this is definitely the problem but I'm not too worried about it.
The weather around here hasn't really been giving me the opportunity to let it dry out.
It has been raining just about every other day so even with the top on the tote I am pretty screwed in that department because of the FAE holes that are drilled everywhere.
In any case I am just happy to be getting the fruits I have for now. Next year I'll try and find the time to lay the tub back into a bed.. If not they will just get rotated into another tub with more chips until I can get a chance at some point.

I have gotten absolute enormous Azzy fruits in this bed.
This should put it into perspective

That isn't the biggest either, this one was the size of a small dinner plate in diameter

I've never had an azzy crack on me but that is because I keep the humidity where it should be. Mushrooms usually crack from low humidity rather than growth rate..
Here is an update on the fruits going now,  It was mega cold last night and they loved it, lol

I wouldn't take more than a gram of these guys, thats for sure, lol. I don't really think I'll be giving prints out this year. I am pretty busy at the moment and will likely only take 1 if I can even get them there to replace my old back up print..
Like I said up thread it has been getting cold here so I don't even know if I will make it to the point where they drop spores before a total freeze. It hit 28 last night for quite a few hours. I had to cover the tote with a carpet and some 4mil black plastic to keep the cold out.
Here is another update.. They are starting to look nice now,
