No shrooms in the center of my mono tubs.
    #21209173 - 01/31/15 10:35 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

In every tub that I have made so far I seem to be getting a similar growth pattern. All the shrooms grow around the outer edge of the totes.  Similar to the pic below.  In the other totes, the grow pattern is even more pronounced.  As I think back over the grows, the one thing that was constantly off a bit was the moisture content of my sub.  It was a bit on the damp side.  Would that cause that affect?  I had to dump a bit of collected water from condensation during the colonization stage.  So there would have been standing watee on the sub. 

Thanks for the help. Tried and tried to search for posts like this but must have botched the wording in the search field. Thanks again everyone.  Hooked on my new hobby!!!!!

Could be you're cracking the subs and have mold growing there

I think the major problem with that substrate is the trichoderma in the center of it.  The mushrooms are trying to fruit at the edges of the contamination.

Do you stuff those holes with poly??

It looks like the desert in there.

Have you been messing with the tub a lot?  You said you over-hydrated it, but it looks dry (and moldy) as hell and there's no polyfill.  Explain your preparation methods and you'll get some good advice.  Substrate mixture, timeframes, have you been misting/fanning, etc.  More info the better.


The first few tubs I grew, I only had fruits on the edges of the tub.  I figured out it was a humidity issue.  I live in a very dry climate and I wasn't casing.  After I started casing my tubs, dialed in my polyfill properly, and let them be, they do great and there's plenty of growth in the middle.

Another reason you might not be getting pins in the middle is that you aren't using a liner.

As your sub colonizes it shrinks and creates a micro-climate between it & the walls of the tub.

This pocket of high humidity is more favorable for pinning, so that's where the pins show up.

A liner clings to and shrinks with the substrate so it doesn't occur.

Yes, I can see that trich is present.  That's a different issue. Trich does not cause a desert. For it to be a similar growth pattern from tub to tub it's a draft issue. That thing is dry as hell

It absolutely does cause fragile substrates and fruiting in places that aren't trich-ridden.

I've had my run ins with trich plenty of times, shrooms will grow at the edges of trich just like sunbathers at the ocean on the beach

Looks like a heating vent in the floor below the tub?
