Do the caps get darker as they grow?

Those are some of the different stages of growth and color I experience, my caps tend to get lighter as spores start dropping on to other caps.

64 is perfect for fruiting, it could be the sub or even the culture. Do they What kind of sub is it on, and do they have good lighting?

Close to a window. So plenty of natural light.
The sub is Douglas fit pellets mixed with wheat bran (I might have finally found a hardwood source but haven't been feeling well enough to talk to give them a call)

Sorry to hear your not feeling well. Maybe the fir could affect the pigment I have read stamets say that a mushrooms color can be affected by substrate.

Unfrotantly I am growing inside right now. Any recomendations besides having a mold filter close to the grow?
Gr0wer has experienced this too with different ratios and subs.
Also things like blue oysters their colors are affected by the temps.

Vent the spores all the way OUT, I have gotten way sick from them! Roger Rabbit almost died because of growing oysters in his bed room, true story

That leaves the greenhouse out back but no really up there to heat that just yet.

Had some great fruiting on my first flush. Really good looking fruits. Between the first and second flush my RH controller failed. The sensor was damaged and was not reading correctly. A lot of the bags got watter logged. I got a new sensor one bag gave some really small fruits that were all soggy.
I am going to buy a backup RH sensor. I am doubting walmart would be a good bet. Maybe lowes or Homedepot?
My RH has been sitting around 92% haven't seen my fogger turn on in awhile. Could be true as things are drying

Getting ready for summer, setting up my greenhouse ready for the season.
Ordered a bunch of 60-100 micron foggers
A 200 stainless steal filter.
Digital water controller that has cycle times of 2, 5, 15 etc every 2, 4, 6 hours etc.
Been running some calculations my swamp cooler will be pumping humidity of roughly at 75% RH
Air temp will be 71-84F depending on time of the summer, weather etc.
Got a pool tarp to use as a shade tarp. Unfortunately it is gray.
I do have some questions, how important will it be to direct the swamp cooler airflow away from the logs.
Also I am trying to think of a good way to hang my misters with my fiberglass Greenhouse.

A large pond fogger reading that they produce 1-5 size micron water droplets. Downside is the heads need regular replacements/ should have backups on hand / needs a waterproof fan
Hydrofogger
Needs a fan booster according gr0wer. Costs more than a ultrasonic setup but looks like less maintenance besides weekly cleaning.
High pressure system I'm too small scale to consider this. Still not making regular sells.

Did a check on the swamp cooler that I got for free. The pump and and fan still work. Just need to replace the pad.
Also started some logs with some old spawn, unimplemented to try to cut back risk of bacteria.

Overgrowth was blended in water and mixed into the straw while the grains were kept in tact.

I also had kings with overgrowth from sawdust bags. I was unhappy with the Douglas fir results.

Again overgrowth and pins blended.
Sawdust was mixed into the straw. Four, five pound bags were used for all this straw
 Going to put some weights on it while it colonizines if it does and than put a casing layer on top of it.

Wow! Interesting stuff you've got going there mate! I never heard to remove and blend the overgrowth but that makes perfect sense, a serious lightbulb moment. And four bags for that much straw seems like such a small spawn investment- really looking forward to seeing your results!

Overgrowth should be viable. Just increasing the surface area of it.
I can see sawdust on just about everything. Took some king bags that had pins in there broke it up and hopefully have it recover.
We will see how things turn out. I'm anxiously waiting to see if my blue oyster in the log show signs of recovery. It has been 24 hours. I hate the waiting game.
Sometimes you just got to roll with it. I'd love to talk to someone extremely knowledgeable and know if it would work out in the end
The straw had two bags of grain spawn used. It was heat pastirized and soaked with OXY clean and a little lime.
Kings were 24 hour cold soak with lime. I can always add more sawdust. It was mixed today.

Was the Douglas fir treated or used as they came? I still haven't finished testing pine yet.
