casing not pinning
    #23810002 - 11/07/16 03:12 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

This is my first time growing mushrooms. I used a kit that came with the spawn, straw, casing soil. I followed the easy instructions, the pasteurized straw colonized after only 6 days, not the 12 they said to wait. I prepared the casing as per the instructions. I put in darkness for the 5 days as directed. I started giving it 12 hours of light per day as instructed after 5 days of darkness. The mycelium started growing up through the casing soil as advertised. It's white and fluffy like cotton in a spider web fashion. Here's what has me concerned; after patches of very healthy looking mycelium grow up through the casing soil, a period of time goes bye and it seems like the mycelium is dissipating back into the soil, or disappearing slowly. The instructions I got say that the mycelium will grow in and that the pins will start about a month after exposure to light and up to 2 months after exposure to light. What is happening to the mycelium? I thought it would grow up through the casing soil and the  pins would form. Can anyone help?

Show us a pic of your set up. Most of the time grow kits set you up with bad conditions for growing mushrooms.
One of the most important factors to "fruiting" your substrate is fresh air exchange (FAE)
Most grow kits focus heavily on humidity and don't allow for enough FAE.

Post a pic of what you're working with and we can help you improve your chances of getting some fruits.
