1st grow Q: PF cakes ready to fruit?
    #26939082 - 09/16/20 01:40 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Per the subject line - first attempt at a PF Tek grow in half-pint jars. These were inoculated ~5 weeks ago, and while there's clear mycelium growth, it doesn't seem to be 'fully' colonized, based on photos I've seen from others' attempts.

That said, a couple of cakes are showing clear primordia - not just pins, but sizable actual fruit. My question is does this indicate time to birth and start fruiting, or are these just outliers, and I should wait for a fully white cake? Pictures are attached. You can see that there's fluffy white, but doesn't extend the height of the cake.

Looks fully colonized to me for a quick answer, can't attest to the fruits already but if it's been 5 weeks I'd bet these are fully colonized and consolidated, especially if they're 1/4 pints

In my limited experience, those should be ready to fruit and/or mix with your casing material. There may be too much/not enough moisture in those 'dead' spots, depending on the spawn material that was used. But if you're getting a long pin (fruit) like that, I'd say it's matured enough to take on fresh air. If you get any contamination at this point, you may as well try another batch.

Kinda looks like the substrate was poorly mixed but could be wrong since its hard to see in the pics. So I say birth it.
