That is just my hypothesis on what will happpen, but please show us pictures and tell us results when you are done!

Part II - I think the environment may have to do with your situation with the abhorts. I know that stringier-looking mycelium is more prone to pinning but that should not stop yours from pinning anymore. Please give more information on how long its been since you birthed and how long since abhorts were plucked. What kind of shrooms are you growing? How much light are you giving them?

Even without knowing everything the most logcal answer is that your poor mushrooms can't take these extreme situations that its trying to grow in.

happy shrooming!

You arguement for stability makes sense. I picked the Abhorts about two weeks after Birthing, and placed them in the fridge for 4 days. The mycelium " fuzz" may be growing from too much steam humidity. Maybe I can come up with an alternate heat source. The thing is no one knows the terrarrium is thre... I cant just run a cord to it...

You know what.... They are getting almost NO light!!! that could be my pinning prob.....doh!!!

No worries about the temperature. Try to keep it AT LEAST at 60 degrees or above. The "optimal" growing temp for p. cubes is in the mid 80's range. Remember, mushrooms don't have exact conditions when they're growing in the wild:-) The temperature in the wild wild nature always fluxuates:-) Between 65 and 75 degrees...you may notice your mushrooms grow slower, but thats about all:-)

And the abhorts...they are a but more potent, but you still need ALOT of them to feel anything:-) Also remember, there is a different in dry weight and wet weight. Mushrooms are about 90% water. SO...if you picked them off of the cake and ate them, even if you had 5-10 abhorts...it probably wasn't that much. Most mushrooms weights go by the dry weight or when the mushrooms are dry;_)

Any ideas on making the "fuzzY" one pin..other than light??

Go with perlite for humidity and chill with the temperature. Room temperature should be just fine.
