Is this something like the crystal effect you're talking about?  If so, it's mycelium holding moisture droplets...  these are pan cambos btw

Yes, cubes love misting and fanning!  You don't have to fan them dry though.  But when they are dry, feel free to mist them lightly, 3-4 times a day if needed.  Kind of a watch and see thing.

Nope. I looked up HYPHAL KNOTS on google images and turns out that's what the crystalized mycelium is!!!!!!!!! That means pinnies on the way for the other bottles!

The side pins are definitely exploding on them already:



And these are some updated photos of the first bottle that's pinned:







Oh god this shit is so beautiful.

Update: ALL the bottles look like this all around. Side pins like crazy! Are they even harvestable?



And here's the one king bottle of amazingness doubling in size every 24 hours:

That Manny side pins makes me think your verm casing is too dry. I also poke quite a few holes when I use pop bottles like that. I'm fanatical about FAE though.

Those side pins can be harvested easily enough. Just pop the substrate out of the container when the time comes.

UPDATE ON THIS BOTTLE!!! My baby boy has grown! Please help me know if it's time to pick one or all of them.



Are these ready? They have been growing exponentially larger every day. Today the caps flattened up and opened up much wider, in a way they never had in the previous day. I want to learn if it's harvest time. Do I take the substrate out and cut all of these off with a scissor? Or only pick a few that are ready? I want to clone the biggest one, lol.

:super:  scissor time!  Once you see gills, best to harvest before the spore dump gets heavy.  The ones that aren't open can go a little longer if you want to let them open.  Or not.

Will they slide out enough that you can make clean cuts at good angles?

Sarah! Thank you for guiding me! Awesome. When you say if I see gills, you mean from underneath when the veil breaks? The veil ripped at least a day ago but they were still growing super fast so I wanted to see if it would keep growing.

The pins appeared on Christmas day, so it's been fruiting for 6 days exactly.

Yes these are really easy to slide out cause they are wide mouthed. There's a ton of side pins too. Should I harvest them too? They're getting smashed against the plastic and some are even bruising from being smashed.

Sure, may as well harvest all at once. Will be interesting to see the yield. If you dont wanna do that just yet, cut the caps off the big ones and make spore prints with them whilst you wait for the side pins to get even bigger.

You got it AK1000, looking good

When the veil breaks thats the best time to turn into a mushroom lumberjack.

Yes, shortly after that veil breaks is when I like to harvest unless I want prints, which in that case, I'll let them open up more to about where your big ones are now, flattish.  I try to harvest right at veil break because I think they taste better before the spores get heavy.  Also have read some believe that potency can drop off as spore production ramps up.

I'd harvest them.  Pins can be super potent so be careful.

Another option for heavy side-pinning ones is to put them into a SGFC and fruit them like cakes (out of their containers, of course) to let those side pins have a life and some room.  But you probably don't have one of those lying around yet.  They are handy.  Might put it on your wish list  :wink:

Thank you, it's so beautiful and everyones support is so precious it makes me want to cry.

This is my first successful grow in 12 years since getting back into the hobby and I had a lot of failures that prevented me from reaching this stage but it's happening! Thank you! Now, to search for tips on how to best dehydrate these babies.

:mushroom2:  5 shrooms for you, nice work, AK.

I remember the awe when I first realized the depth of skill here and that I could get an answer to any question, usually within minutes.

Update!

This bottle, which I asked about recently...

Looks like this out of the bottle:



:shocked:

I removed all the mushrooms and side pins and it came out to 73grams fresh.  I ran it on my Excalibur dehydrator at 165F (the highest setting) for 6 hours and it was definitely cracker dry and it came out to 8.8 grams dry much to my shock (I thought it would be 7.3g dry).

The other 3 bottles are slowly coming along, they're about a week behind because I didn't fan/mist them like I did with the above bottle (that was the only difference I could account for).

This is what the 3 other bottles currently look like:

This is really interesting. Can't wait to try this tek. Going to make a slurry tomorrow and get started. Good job.
