Ganoderma lucidem antlers looking greenish
    #26966104 - 10/02/20 03:23 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I have some reishi I'm growing in antler form and it seems like the antlers are relatively green except for the tips. It doesn't look like any mold I've ever seen, and the yield is pretty good. Any ideas as to what this could be? I'm trying to decide whether to wait or harvest now. It's a batch of 12 blocks and all are similar.

That's fairly normal for reishi, although there's usually a more more varnish and less yellow/green part.  But I usually expose it to a little more air, I think you might be getting more of that from lack of air.  Not that it's bad though, still fine to use, it's all reishi. 

You can post pics after harvest to make sure :thumbup:

Looks like they are about ready for harvest, although they might grow more if you open the bags and let them try.

Thank you! Should I expose them at high humidity in the fruiting room or just normal room environment? I have a shiitake tent that's not too humid that I'm thinking might be best?

I would just open the top of the bags and mist when you can.  Worst case if it's too dry is they just varnish over and then you harvest.  But you could put in a fruiting chamber if you wanna go to all the trouble.
