2nd Flush Help
    #23491764 - 07/30/16 08:15 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hey Shroomery!

Firstly, thanks for all the information you've all shared on this site, I've learned a ton about mushroom cultivation. This is my first grow, and it's been a process (as well a test of my patience, haha). My first flush was a success, here's a pic just before harvest:


Now, a little background on my second dunk. There was one cake that had a bit of slime on the underside, suppose some water got trapped. I scraped it off with a towel, thinking that'd fix it, and then added it into the dunking pot along with the other 5 cakes. 24 hours later, I take them out and they've got quite a sweet-sour smell coming from all of them. Guessing yeast. So I washed them off in the sink with a light spray, put them in the fruiting chamber for a day with the lid off, and a day later the smell was gone and they were back to their heavenly, woody-smelling selves, with some bruising all around.

Fast forward a couple days and the cakes have grown quite a bit of fluff on them and there are rhizomorph forming on the jar lids, neither of which were present the first flush. Also, 4 of the 6 cakes sprouted 1 or 2 pins quite quickly, which seem to be fruiting into much larger shrooms than the first time around. Early birds? Pic:


However, I noticed on half the cakes that there's some slight spots of discoloration forming...and I'm not sure if it's a mold or just some bruising on the fluff. Here are some pics:




Any help? It's been 5 days since their dunk, I haven't done anything differently from the first time around, still misting and fanning as usual and on the same 12/12 light cycle. Is this just another test of my patience and everything is running smoothly? Or do I need to take some precautionary action?

Thanks!

They're fine still. Patience. Should have done the dunk and roll though. Which PF TEK did you follow?

Phew! Thanks :smile:

Shea25's Guide. Said not roll them in subsequent dunks, only the first. Read that a few times in my research here

Yea, just the first time. I'm surprised it completely washed off then. Usually enough sticks that they still look rolled for the 2nd. I wouldn't re roll. Just waiting
