What causes clustering during the fruiting phase?
    #21694237 - 05/18/15 11:45 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Day 4 of fruiting and my tub is looking pretty good. I was just wondering what's causing the clustering at the top of the tub?

Its genetics.

Honestly, my opinion on why mushrooms cluster is to be able to disperse the spores together, increasing the chance to colonize the surrounding area. I've noticed this quite a lot in the wild actually. Mushrooms will cluster up and shoot spores all at once.

Sometimes the whole area will, but there is always slight aging differences. But yeah in the end, it all comes down to genetics.

Hell yea...! You want those clusters. I would take some tissue from those fuckers and put them to agar for some clones...

Not all mushrooms cluster though. Idk why they do it but they do.

Should i still be misting and fanning every day or should i just leave it alone? :filosoraptor:

You should be able to leave it alone if the poly fill is dailed in correctly.

Okay that's good because I'm using a mist and fan tek and i improvised by adding in small holes(about 1/2 inch) in the top tub to increase FAE to help increase the size of the fruits. The tek I'm using says to mist/fan 3x a day. These are the tubs they use:



Would misting/fanning be necessary in this case because the tub I'm using doesn't have holes near the surface layer to decrease C02 buildup?

This is an interesting thought. It could be a survival technique to ensure that the cluster drops spores (in case one is trampled or eaten). Also, the caps could be pointed in slightly different directions which would help spores disperse.

Cheers man. On topic, I'm not sure what causes clusters, but the craziest clusters I ever got were from a tub with a thick casing layer.



I think cloning a good cluster will help you get more as well.

i had good one on uncased substrates :awesomenod:


u can see where i took the clone here


gave descend result


so if u want to take a clones, cluster are very good candidate

and for the OP's question,.. genetic

Genetics for sure, and the theory on clusters to release more spores at once is smart. Also surface area, if for some reason there's more in one area than another.

On my last run I had lots of individual shrooms on the first flush with little clustering. On the second flush there was lots of clustering? This may lead me to believe that it was growing conditions and not genetics? Or perhaps it is a strategy used by the shrooms for reproduction?

Anyhow it makes for easy picking when they cluster.

Different genetics will be expressed in each flush, unless its an isolate.

Can you explain this? How do the genetics differ in later flushes?

In MS not every flush is of the same genetics, so what appears to be the second or third flush may actually be the first of a different strain.
