Usually I would respect most answers given by you Mad. However, without more information what you said makes little to no sense. No offence, I'm just having a hard time grasping it.
Light 100% triggers pinning. It's a common observation made by a lot of people.
I had gone without using lights for the first half of my current study. I introduced the lights two days ago, and since introducing them fruit bodies are popping up more rapidly and all of the fruit bodies have began to appear way healthier. (Thicker, taller.)
Last night something unexpected happened to me. I left one light on instead of the 2. If the "U" is the tub and the "l" is the lights this is my set up from a birds eye view.
(lUl)
The light on the left was left off and the light on the right was left on. Over the 12 hour cycle, every fruit in the tub decided to lay down flat against the substrate and grow towards the light on the right side of the tub. This got me real interested in gathering as much information about lighting as possible.
What does light do for the Mushroom and why don't we have a common understanding of this?
I learned about how light effects the growth of plants in 2nd grade, I feel like this is something that should have been taught in the same year.
Assuming nobody beats me to the discovery, I'm going to make it my mission to understand and explain how light really effect the growth.

Indeed, it was a pleasure to read. As was your first post. It's incredible that you were able to acquire the skills needed to cultivate mushrooms through postal correspondence, especially back then.
If you ran into something you weren't sure of or that was not explained well enough, how did you proceed? Place everything on hold until you heard back from Steve or try to work it out on your own until you heard back?
Thank you for joining us!

Hey ron! It's easier to understand who you are replying to if you hit the "quote" button at the top right of the users post. It is right next to the button that says "reply"
It will quote their text and you can reply to it that way they know you are referring to their post!
Awesome to have you in the community! What is your library listed as on ebay?
Although you cant link it here i'd still like to check it out if i can!

Welcome to the shroomery Ron K! Can't wait to hear some interesting stories of your foray into mycological research and cultivation!

Hi Ron, good luck. Yogonanda is one awesome person.
There are definitely lots of young people still at it, although I've already got some teachers, I really appreciate your offering to everyone.

light is a secondary trigger, they will pin in darkness and we do have an understanding...try some research on it

See the problem with randomly introducing something and seeing results, is we don't know if those results would have happened regardless.
Light I can agree makes them appear healthier and thicker, but it isn't a pinning trigger to me. A pinning trigger is something that literally triggers pinning lol.

This tray was forgotten in a dark closet with no fae. It still pinned. The trigger was full colonization, which is IMO what makes cubes pin. Light I can agree makes things much more healthy, but is it the reason it pins? I've never once been like yes that pinned because of the light! I almost always say it pinned because it's contaminated, or it pinned because it was ready to pin.

Again that is because of a lack of light. No light can match the power of the sun IMO.
I mean I only grow with an East facing window. During the winter when there's shitty daylight hours (literally 8 hours of light a day), my fruits look like this

When it's summertime, and the tubs get 2-3 hours of direct sunlight, and 14+ hours of indirect sunlight due to long daylight hours they look like this:

These are all grows done in the same room with the same window. This is my experience on light, and IMO, when they grow towards it, it means they need more of it.

Ron, if you get a chance sometime, I would love to hear about some the conversations you had corresponding with Terence Mckenna. He changed my life, not that I adhere to the whole thing, but he's just one of my favorite people.
