What causes small pin formation and mushroom cap stem combos?
    #26989142 - 10/16/20 08:36 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

So I am running 17 mini tubs in various sizes and strains but some of my boxes are producing tons of small patches of small mushrooms. These same cases have produced bigger samples earlier. The only thing I have done is got rid of all the crap and went very basic. All the tubs are coco coir, gypsum, verm. The strains are GT, B+, Brazil, MDK. My area is simple. Cases, ionic filtration and a cold water humidifier(Old school vibrate kind). I dry my goodies in the same room to keep the heat up its a small compact space that is a nice climate for them. My light placement on the cases is also different depending on where I am rotating the cases. 4 shelves of 2-3 cases and 2 shelves of all my other cases. 3 lights hitting almost everything as well as plastic guards to keep the contams out. The thing I am seeing is a couple of my cases are doing a ton of small pins, these cases produced some good samples. Is it time to soak them? Thanks. I assume my cases are good because the room is producing very well. every morning is like coffee and mushroom Christmas. So much so that I have not bothered to eat any, because I have so many the thrill of short supply is gone. I also do not know if I should be misting the tubs? I Thought it was leave them be?

Are you growing from multispore? 

I would say that probably accounts for most of the variance in size of fruits.  But they may benefit from a dunk.  As far as misting, pics would help.

You keep calling them cases but I think you're referring to substrates.

Thank you for the reply,

There are some multispore tubs that contain more than one strain. Those tubs are doing gangbusters. No, as in 18 different containers not substrate. rubbermade, pastry tins, large fruit juice bottle in once instance. They are in various sizes and shapes that get switched back and forth depending on stage of production. It is a compact space so it goes up not flat. The room is the environment. The boxes themselves are clear with a large filter hole on the ends. I use empty coffee pods as filters since they match up so perfectly with any hole size. The samples were from 1 year old GT generics that I procreated over the year, 4 new strains(GT,B+,MDK,Brazil) when I started a new set back in Aug. 34 workable jars 17 tubs. 2 in a fruiting chamber. The subs themselves have not been watered so it seems it could be an issue. I just dunked one last night. I can tell by the shrinkage. I did not think you misted monotubs I saw information going both ways.

My sub is coco coir, verm, gypsum mixed then PCed for an hour. One layer clean one layer all the material mushed up in the mix followed by a top layer. bottom and middle are thicker than the top layer.   

It just seems some of the containers are producing skinny tall small cap mushrooms in abundance(I keep them in a mini shroom jar). My other tubs are doing well. The only FAE is the air circulation in the room and when I open them to harvest. I check with lights instead of opening the case. I have noticed different properties of the different strains. Amazon looks like a ton but weights almost nothing. GT thick all the around.

Sorry I am being lazy about a picture but I did not think it was that type of question. The space I am using is very efficient and I shaved the pins out of the 2 I had issues with yesterday. Here is another question. I cut some of these with scissors and leave the stumps. What would you suggest as a trusted cultivator? I have pulled out big ones full mushroom.

Ok I gotcha on the cases now :thumbup:

It's been a while since I've grown cubes but I believe most these days prefer cutting and leaving stumps to pulling them out, as pulling them out kinda damages the substrate.

As far as the pics, I meant maybe a pic of the substrate surface on the ones in question so somebody could weigh in on whether it looked dry or not to see if it needed a dunk or some more misting.

They are in almost every state since I have shifted to tubs. I had a 32 jar run that went strait to tub about 25% of the way in. For some reason I thought the monotub was something fancy when in fact its super simple. If I could say anything about the subs it would be that I am not getting even grow patterns but bunches of mushrooms in clumps popping up all over the tub constantly. I pull stuff out of 4-6 tubs a day 2 x a day constantly. I was curious as to the water impact since I do not want to ruin what is already working better than cakes and an FC. I keep the room really humid and warm. The cases have moisture in them also. I saw someone mention there should be small droplets on the substrate then saw someone say all the moisture should already be in the substrate.
