Questions Regarding a Blue Oyster Issue
    #26854082 - 07/30/20 05:36 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hi folks,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I tried searching by things that seemed obvious to me, but couldn't find a post that left me feeling confident that my thoughts were correct and could use a little help from this community.

I ran into an issue the other day where my power went out to my entire house (including my FC) for the better part of four hours.  Since it was in the evening I did a few quick checks on the humidity with my battery powered hygrometer and since everything was normal I figured all I could do was go to bed and hope for the best when the power came back on.

Unfortunately as soon as I checked on the mushrooms the next morning I started to notice that many of my previously healthy oyster clusters had started browning, growing longer stalks with stunted caps, and some even started shrinking.

My assumption is that they were likely most affected by the total lack of FAE (at the time I didn't think to just open my FC to the basement to at least keep from trapping CO2 in with them all night).

I don't have a ton of experience, so based on my description and the following pictures could some of you with more knowledge confirm my suspicions or point out other things I may have overlooked?  I have grown many bagged logs before successfully in the same FC, but the buckets you see in these pictures are my first attempt at this method.

I'm sorry I don't have any good pictures of the stunted clusters on the buckets, I didn't really think about posting here for advice until after I'd cleaned them off the buckets.  I did however include a shot of them side by side with some healthy clusters I removed early because they were growing through my drainage holes in the bottom of the buckets, just for reference of the difference.



Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Lack of humidity made them turn brown and no FAE caused the long stems and stunted caps.

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

Thanks Mr. Shrooms.

Bummer about having a home setup in a rental place, only so many things I can do to combat issues like this.

Again I appreciate the confirmation.

It doesn't sound like there is much that could have been done anyway. If the power goes out you are going to have some losses. It is just part of the game.
