Good morning guys...
I am currently struggling to get my pan cyans to fruit. I use to have a lot of success with coco coir. But since the store i use to buy it from only sell palm peat now instead of coco coir i cant seem to get them to grow anymore. My agar plates are clean, the grain jars are clean with just white mycelium and no bad smells.

I mix in 2 parts horse manure, 1 part palm peat and 1 part vermiculite for the substrate. Pasteurize it at about 150 degrees fahrenheit for 3 hours. Let it cool down completely. Then i mix in the spawn. Ratio is 2 parts sub to 1 part spawn. I let it colonize for about 6-8 days. I then check if it is fully colonized. It usually look like white fluffy clouds covering the top and is usually completely covered. I then mix a little bit of coco coir with vermiculite And cook the shit out of it (sterilizing it) and after cooling down sprinkle just a fine layer on top to case. Oh yeah... My substrate and casing i make sure is at field capacity... I squeeze till only 1 or 2 drops are dripping out.
I then let the cased sub closed for 2 days to recover and then put it into fruiting. I fan with a small fan not pointed directly at the tubs and mist about 3 times a day or when i see the walls of the tubs are dry. But every time about 4 days to a week into fruiting then trich shows up and i only get a few shitty shrooms.

Like i said i use to have a lot of success with coco coir... It just that i can't get any more... Only palm peat... I also cant get peat moss for casing but the coco coir and vermiculite mix use to work very well.
Please help me get these to fruit again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey buddy 😎 what do you think, if I clone those monsters, will them repeat that mega size😳 first I thought maybe some wild species growing along

For pans, the only thing you need, plastic box with holes all around including lid and water heater
them need a mass of warm, humid air mowing upward and, what I did understood, main reason of abnormal shape and aborting is direct air blow on fruits.

Can someone point me in the right direction to how much calcium carbonate is needed for a peat or peat/verm casing?

I’m still unfamiliar with all the variants used for ph balance and supplemental calcium.

I use 2:1 peat:calcium carb by dry weight.
