What do I do now? Cased for a week, help with initiate fruit/pins.
    #22237611 - 09/14/15 05:10 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I have cased 100% colonized Florida Treasure Coast popcorn with cow manure, straw, gypsum, and peat moss to do a bulk casing(all pasteurized). After a week of recolonizing the casing I started to notice the mycelium was breaking the surface so I kept patching it with peat moss. Yesterday or the day before that I transferred them to this fruiting chamber. The mycelium will soon overtake the casings so I was wondering other than misting and FAE if there is anything I can do to help initiate pinning.

More photos coming tomorrow.

im not quite sure what TEK or procedure u were following….u got some dried peat or manure on top maybe??  get that dried spot towards bottom of tray moist.

not sure if u did this…but next time, u EVENLY mix ur "popcorn" spawn with your pasteurized substrate (cow manure/straw) in the tray.  cover it up with foil, no holes.  in a week or so, it will be all white.  at that point, case it with pasteurized peat, recover it for 2-3 days, and fruit.

u don't want uncolonized manure and straw sticking out all crazy like that in fruiting homie

See I did that but I covered it with the plastic covers for that came with the tray but I also poked holes in the cover because I was under the impression it should breath a little. It's probably the over head angle of the tray but the straw isn't sticking out, it is flat.

i like foil because i can tuck it under rim of tray, and breathes perfect w/o holes.

i never used plastic, but i guess what u did was ok??

just make sure nothing dries out too much.  u just gotta wait now.

don't worry about temp drop, just try to keep ur room no more than 80f.

also, make sure that perlite has holes beneath it.

www.mushroomvideos.com ; BRF/PF TEK parts 1-4<----watch them if u have not. use the exact chamber design as him, but size of tote doesn't matter.

Preesh, water droplets have accumulated on my casing. And I think next time I do need to make my casing more level as you say. What should I do about these droplets?

Looks fine to me :shrug:, you want water droplets, they evaporate slowly and get replaced. This tells the mushrooms that evaporation is occuring, they've hit the fresh air, now it's time to fruit :rockon:

nothing.  just leave it alone till it fruits.  fan and mist as needed.  the water droplets are a good indication that the microclimate is suitable for pinning :mushroom2:
