Dark areas on caps
    #26650284 - 05/05/20 10:18 AM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hey all, first-time grower here.

My golden teachers have pinned and produced some cool-looking mushrooms. However, I am worried about the color of the caps. On one of the cakes, the caps have large dark areas on them. Are these just spores?






Sorry if this is a needless post, but I am curious and slightly concerned.

It may be spores but the cracking like that you need to up your humidity and block off some fae or mist more.

Gotcha. I have been having problems with that. For some reason the SGFC dries out very fast.

I have 1/4 inch holes on all sides 2 inches apart. I mist 3-4 times a day followed up by fanning, but the chamber becomes dry after only an hour or so.

Try taping up some holes, micro pore will work fine.

Ok!


Thanks for the assist. I'll update when the other cakes start to pin.
