Hello! Need help Pinning/fruiting on golden teach brf cakes
    #24024970 - 01/20/17 08:24 AM (7 years, 10 days ago)

Hey! First post, I've been lurking around for awhile now learning all things mushroom. But today I actually need some help and I feel like the search wouldn't come up with what I need. So apparently I have overlooked a step? I've done everything perfect up to this point. Let the cakes fully colonize and then some.. dunked for around 24 hours and then rolled in fine grade horticultural vermiculite. Is it 100% necessary to place the cakes back into incubation-like conditions in order to get the mycelium to break through the casing layer.. I swear i never seen any thing on this step until it was too late. So basically the cakes are in a perlite chamber 95%+ humidity with lighting and fae. Did I mess up or will pinning just occur more slowly? A lot of these already had some knots and one cake in particular had already started major invitro pinning prior to birthing.. any advice??

They go into a SGFC. The humidity shouldn't be 90+ and you shouldn't be measuring it

What I meant by perlite chamber was that it's in a sgfc with perlite haha. But like most posts I usually come across there are contradicting answers. One saying I'm fine and one somewhat seeming like I could be messing up due to high humidity?  And what's the hurt in placing a thermometer/hygrometer? I know that as long as your perlite is properly saturated and you mist fairy often you should be good but still I just placed it in there.

It just confuses noobs. The numbers are going to be very inaccurate in that environment anyway.

90+ percent humidity is only an inch off the surface. The air in the chamber should be 50-80 and fluctuate.

The cakes evaporate off moisture from the vermiculite rolled them in. This creates a concentration gradient of humidity. The cakes have a high surface humidity. But need a lower chamber humidity so that they actually do evaporate.

Ok that makes sense.. So I guess my question is am I going to be ok doing this (maybe just slower pinning) or do you recommend me taking these out and putting them back into the incubation chamber? Or maybe even just leaving them in the fruiting chamber and do without misting for a few days. seriously thanks for all the help, have made it all this way on my  first attempt and I would hate to make a fatal error so close to the end!!

Colonization. Wait one week to consolidate. Birth. Dunk. Roll in verm. Put in SGFC. Proceed with watching them

Incubation chamber sounds unsettling. They should "incubate" on a shelf. We dont incubate unless temperature is less than 65 regularly. They just colonize on a table or shelf in room temperature

Sooooo keep doing what I'm doing since they're already in there?? Or put them in dryer conditions
