Marasmius siccus stunted growth

Not sure if this belongs to Advanced Mycology or here, but I guess any mushroom can be considered medical?

So I've been growing this Marasmius siccus (from stem cutting to agar to rye). Since I have too much rye inoculant I decided to
fruit it. Soaked in in water for 12 hours and now leaving it in 20~25 degree C in a fridge, occasionally taking it out to mist.

As you can see I already got pins to form, but the stems are twisted and totally unlike wild Marasmiuses. Also the caps are not developing.
Could anybody here see what's wrong with my result? Is it the temperature or the humidity or FAE?

I actually have a small fan (12V used in computer chassis) in my fridge, and inside the fridge the humidity is probably 70~80%, a bit low.

You can see there's a fan blowing on a piece of wet newspaper and my bottle of marasmius is on the left.

Cool grow. Probably a combination of factors. You might want to try adding a casing layer to provide a good microclimate and increase humidity if possible.

I've increased humidity and the stems are growing but it's been almost 2 weeks and no cap has formed yet.

That definitely looks like a low FAE/high CO2 problem. Long stems and tiny caps.

I put it in a fridge but I open it a few times a day,
and I actually have a fan inside and an air pump blowing bubbles in Ca(OH)2 solution.

But without investing in a CO2 meter I guess that doesn't really help..

Deja Vu from the Reddit post :lol:

If I had to take a guess it would be Co2 excess as already said by another member.

Neat grow regardless.

I think it's best if I do something new and not reproduce other people's results, which adds nothing to the scientific knowledge.

Also this mushroom is beautiful and that's the main reason I'm trying to grow it.


The cap is still not developing though, I think it has enough FAE already.
