Balcony Shiitake grow in a Martha - help me dial things in!
    #26475753 - 02/08/20 04:16 PM (4 years, 8 days ago)

Hi all, this is my second time growing Shiitakes in a Martha, but the mushrooms came out very different from the first time. They grew huge with wavy caps. The only thing I changed was I added a humidity controller to keep it between 90 and 95. I also had a 6-inch fan on the bottom shelf blowing across a seedling tray filled with water. This helped keep up the humidity and made it so the humidifier didn’t have to run as much. It also helped keep the temps down. Could the air flow from the fan have caused the weird caps?

I did have to remove the fan because it grew mildew all over. Do I need air flow in there, or is mere air exchange sufficient?

I intend to grow Lions Mane and Reishi in there as well, so I’d like to get things dialed in. Any advice is appreciated!

You should put this in the gourmet and medicinals section, but to answer your question, it was because you waited longer to harvest this time.  Pretty much all shiitake will unroll the edges of the caps like that if you let them grow long enough.  People just usually harvest them earlier.

Anyway, they look great I wouldn't change anything other than harvest time :thumbup:

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Whoops, you’re right, wrong forum! Sorry! Thanks for the answer!
