Drying method effecting fruit size?
    #26718171 - 06/04/20 12:54 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

These are from the first flush from two separate monotubs. I'm curious about why one batch had thicker mushrooms than the other?

Both tubs are MS Golden Teacher genetics spawned from the same master grain jar. The top row were harvested before sporulation due to there being massive amounts of side and bottom pins. I did not have a dehydrator immediately available so they were fan dried for 24 hours before finishing off in the dehydrator.

The second row of fruits were left to maturation so that most of the MS tub could fully develop. Once harvested they immediately thrown into the dehydrator. All of them are bone dry so water content is not the cause, but could the fanning have had something to do with the top row not shrinking as severely the bottom ones? Or maybe the mushrooms allowed to mature lost stem density?

With Ms grows you'll get a lot of variation in your shrooms. Some thicker, some thinner, some hollow stems, some solid stems etc etc.

If you're positive that no water remains in your shrooms, difference in size and dehydration method is nothing to worry about.

:whathesaid: Genetics can vary from flush to flush, fruit to fruit with MS.
Temperature can make a difference too, higher temps can cause hollower fruits

That said I have noticed that the fruits I've let mature dry skinnier too. Might be because they've continued to grow and elongated :shrug:
