Often times people overlook hair lip caps as mutants. I'm not saying every hair lip is vert or a mutant. Just that it is a suspect of it. The fact it also had no holes in the chamber (very little fae) makes me think it's more than just a coincidence it's like that.

That is an amazing way of calculation. With shrooms having such large stems - and eaten fresh; one truly needs a measuring device. Again with the poverty question... since I thought these might take weeks to grow, I also thought I would have the $ to support whatever might be needed at the time of growth. Because I do not - any tips out there for a "poor man's" recipe for storing, or drying....I will do my homework of course. I didn't think it would be an issue. I haven't read anything to suggest that they can grow as fast as five days. Now I understand about the air issue.
Also, I looked around. I have a big metal pot I could transfer them too, not so much perlite left. Not so much money. I saw a post NOT to do this. It also has no way of air venting. Can I leave the cover vented as a remedy? I just had no idea... this strain grows so fast. I have one cake that isn't growing any pins at all. I suppose this one is damaged. I did stab myself the first time inoculating one of them. In a panic, I injected it anyway. This may be the one. You truly learn from stupidity.

For the post above; my five dollars is just a temp problem, my ABS system in my car got repaired yesterday. Just so you know. I didn't go into this without wanting to put every effort into it. And taking care of life needs first. I want to thank you for the posts about the holes; what the chamber should be like. Buying a growing kit - being new; reading the "how to's" online; you think that all you need is there for you. Clearly it isn't. Which is why I think all of you are so incredibly kind and helpful. Thank you for helping this old hippie chick. Any and all answers, critical or otherwise are appreciated. I am new; lets face it; anyone new needs answers. This is truly a science. Thank you most humbly.

The main pinning trigger is water evaporating off your cakes/FAE. They can't do this very well if they are sealed up in an air tight tub

Well, best bet is borrow a drill or melt the holes, but with any method of putting holes, you want to brace the plastic against something so it doesn't crack. Definitely don't bang a nail into it like that one guy said.

You are welcome, it's a lot to take in in a short period of time, but have patience. It's such a fun and rewarding hobby. and BTW, old hippie chicks rock

I would be too it still has a chance it has a small amount. Increasing the fae would keep it at bay and make those fruits look way nicer regardless so it doesn't matter too much. I'd just not want to use that as a clone or take any spores.

Leaving cover slightly opened? [Re: NDStepp84]

Is it at all possible to leave that air tight cover open a bit? Perhaps with a small fan pointed at the chamber?
Most probably annoying question #2: Can I take pick that large shroom off and perhaps the one curling under it (should I?) and place them in a zip lock bag to stay fresh in the refrigerator? I would like to try them fresh yet know they rot quick.
I realize it needs air with actual holes. I need to leave for work overnight in just a bit. What would all of you kind enough to follow this thread tell this humble hippie chick (and yes; we rock - some of us literally.)
Me and my Ibanez are the best of pals. Grew up in a band, literally. Thank you for saying so~!

When do you plan on consuming them?

Tomorrow if I can and should to eat them fresh (I heard to eat them fresh is more potent - though those stems; wow are they huge)... Geez I am not sure how many to eat; I have no scale. Just a digital human one... I planned to buy one; but again the ABS system went on my car. Do I have enough to try tomorrow? I keep researching and researching... I just read something about drying them in a capri sun pouch. I would be late for work, but I don't want to ruin this entire batch. I actually spent a lot of money on the spores and the growing kit. Never knowing I needed a dehydrator; a lot of things actually. Knowledge is a powerful tool. Experience even more so....

I prefer dry myself, they don't taste as bad and a lot less matter to eat. They will dry pretty well sitting out with a fan on them. No way of knowing without a scale, if you got them cracker dry and ground them up into powder with a coffee bean grinder you could guesstimate by filling gel caps. A regular size gel cap would be around 1/2 a gram stuffed full. But still with mushrooms you need to pick up a scale when you get some extra cash. I found mine on eBay for like 17 bucks, best ones I have ever owned.

If you get nauseated... I find a small amount of ginger...around a teaspoon mixed into orange juice works wonders...

If you absolutely have to store fresh mushrooms, a paper bag in the fridge is far better than plastic unless you want them to turn black and mushy.

That's just a mutant, it doesn't even look like proper rosecomb. Look up verticillium in the search engine.
