First oyster pins!! And questions
    #26554836 - 03/24/20 10:11 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Two days ago all the work finally paid off and I got my very first oyster pins coming in.
They are so fast you can almost watch them grow :shocked:

I have to thank all the people that contributed here with there expertise in the G&MM forum!
It's what motivated me to continue after failing royally in the beginning.

I was wondering whether my conditions are alright, since they seem to be mostly stems right now?
Or is it just too early to tell?
I have a small greenhouse with in/out fans that exchange all air every 10min, and an internal
fan that runs 5min on/30sec off. Humidity is around 90% most of the time. Is this ok or do they need even more air?

I also have 2 shiitake blocks that are now 2.5 weeks old, which might need a bit more time

How "brown" should they be before opening the bag? And should I cut just a slit in the bag like with oysters, remove the top, or the whole bag completely?

Nice work, congratz!

The oysters don't look bad at all, but could use more air.  Blues are even more air hungry than other strains, but yours look better than a lot of new growers.

Shiitake - you want fully browned.  2.5 weeks isn't anywhere near long enough, you should be looking at more like 2 months or more.  You'll know because the block will be either;
-fully browned, or
-pin invitro

I usually wait till fully browned and the cold shock (in the bag).  Once they start pinning in the bag, strip the whole bag and put the block into fruiting conditions.

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