Black residue: spores? * 1
    #26621575 - 04/23/20 06:03 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

I have some black residue on the top of the side of the tub. When I wipe it with my finger I get a powdery substance on my finger. Is this most likely spores? Does that mean, that I should harvest immediately? The mushrooms have grown in a couple of clusters only and are about the lenght of a thumb. I don't notice any skirts, so I figured, they are not ready yet, the caps of some of them have started to turn upside down (pointing upwards).

When do I know, when a mushroom isn't going to get any bigger? It seems my first grow has not gone terribly well so I am trying to save what I can, but I don't want to harvest too soon either.

What I don't have at all on these is a "veil", which I understand is the skirt type thing hanging in the middle of the stem. I do however have cracked caps. I have increased misting to counter this.

Yes spores

Yes harvest


I like to harvest when they have that round shroom look. They ussually havent dropped spores when they look like that too.

But its not really a big deal.

Its spores. Not a big deal, just harvest sooner next time. When your caps become flat like that, u waited too long and need to harvest ASAP. Its best to harvest when the skirt (veil) rips from the cap.

So where is the veal everyone is talking about?
See the harvested product:

So which part here is the veil or do these simply not have a veil?

Those look super weird, almost as if they were some other species.

The veil is missing.....hmmmm....

See how the caps are flattened? That means u picked "too late". Usually when the cap is bell-shaped u will see the veil (skirt) rip from the gills.

I see, probably way too late, I noticed some rest of a veil on one od those. So what is the consequence of this? Will they have lost a ton of value by now?
