Growkit Shrooms Damaged? Please help a newbie here (Mycellium Damage)
    #26408820 - 12/31/19 06:22 AM (4 years, 29 days ago)

Hi Guys i just got my new shrooms growkit (first time).

I started with the step of using the fork to pierce the top layer of the kit.

However i didn't read the instructions carefully and ended up piercing all the way down into the end of the box till the white mycellium is kind of broken up at the bottom (with many pierces , about 19 pierces).

Did i fuck up? Does it matter if i pierce all the way?

Please help!!

Your mycelium is damaged and will probably try to reconnect before fruiting. You should still have fruits if you do the rest correctly, but I'd suspect a good bit less than you would've gotten.
I'd use that to spawn a new tub but that's me, plus youd increase your chance of contamination

Good luck though:)

Yea idk why they tell you to pierce anything.

Was it fully colonised before you stabbed it?
If it was all you've done is add on a few days cause the mycelium will need to recover now.

Sounds like you have a 100% mycelium kit that just needs hydrated then put out to fruit(that's why you fork the top layer to let it absorb more water) as long as is was fully colonised you don't have anything to worry about

Yes I had to pierce the kit and soak it in water for 1 hour before pouring it out and then putting it into a bag.

I pierced too deeply (and many times), hopefully it doesnt kill the mycellium!

Im so worried now as this is my first time

It should be ok. Just wait it out. And dont stab it next time.
