Cutting vs Pulling Harvest (Contams)
    #21742522 - 05/30/15 08:21 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Just wondering if anyone has noticed if a sub is more prone to contams from cutting vs pulling to harvest. Seems like when trich shows up in one of my tubs it's on a stump from a cut fruit, it seems like the areas that get pulled recover quicker than cut stumps. I get 2 to 3 flushes most of the time before trich shows up but sometimes during second flush, trich will pop up on the stumps from previous flush. What's your guys take on this?

I have never cut my mushrooms, I have always used the twist and pull method. I have never seen any problems with doing it this way and have always been skeptical about cutting for the very reasons that you have mentioned. Never thought about starting a thread about it though. Good idea. 5 :mushroom2: for you.

I have noticed the stumps rotting and and falling off before . I don't have pics or any other info . I don't cut very offen and now that I'm doing trays I never cut. Some hedge trimmers would make harvesting trays Hella fast.

When I was still doing mono's, I would use a pair of curved needle nose plyers to twist and pull. It was very efficient in getting in between stipes of a dense flush.

Yeah I do both but mostly twist and pull. I haven't seen a stump go green nor have I seen a rip spot go green haha. It's always the random peeks of mycelium. The surface is never perfectly flat lol.

I don't think it really matters what you do. When the myceliums shit the bed, the mean green will show its face. Its just meant to be.

JESUS :wowz:

on another note, ive always wondered this, on my first upcoming harvest, I guess I will use the twist/pull, then on the second flush, ill cut and see what happens.  I would think cutting and leaving part behind would cause it to rot and possible contam, maybe, just maybe..

At the link provided below is a little way that I developed to harvest dense clusters of fruits.

From what is understood, the method that's been developed isn't too far off from how asparagus is harvested.
