Side shrooms - anything I should do? (and now other noob stuff)
    #27093703 - 12/17/20 08:47 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi - first timer here. Exciting to get some pins a couple of days ago and they’re growing really quickly. Thing is, they’re on the side, not the top. Actually the top few millimetres of verm never colonised with mycelium but the rest of the sides and base were full. Should the top have gone white too?

Anyway, is there anything I should do with this? Should I flip it so the shrooms are on top and growing up with more space, or just leave it? Is it possible that the top will start pinning soon do you think.

I think there are some others just starting on the end (bottom end in photo, near upper cake surface).

Sorry for rubbish photos. This is erm.. a secret project and I heard someone coming up the stairs while photographing.

Can’t really force fruits to grow from specific places on a cake that’s exposed on most sides like that.. the myc is gonna do what the myc is gonna do.  But they look fine and happy right where they are.. let em do their thing

Thanks for the reply - really appreciate it. That was kind of what I thought/hoped.

Amazing how quickly they’re growing, like they went from pins to mushrooms in 6 hours.

I’m sure some are aghast at my amateur setup there. I haven’t really followed any of the tek guides here but went with the basic instructions on mycotown- the shop I bought from. Seems to be working out though. Learning a lot and looking forward to improving things next time.

Hi again, quick photo update and noob queries.

Looks like the veil has broken on a couple of these? Is that right? So time to harvest? Or wait till tomorrow when a few more will have broken?

Secondly. Are those little ones in the foreground aborts? How about the darker one in middle background? There’s a slightly dark ring around the base of the cap I think.

Anyway, time to harvest them all, redunk and try for next flush?

Any other advice greatly appreciated.

Sorry written in haste.

Yeah those are aborts.. you could let them all go a little longer but it does t look like they’ll take on much more weight imo.. if you’re going to print them, they need longer for sure

Thanks again man. :smile:. I’ll chop tomorrow morning. Happy to get those on my first go but hoping for a bit more with next flushes. Will try to tune misting/FAE etc.

If you want cakes that grow only on top, look into in-vitro teks.

You just fruit them in the jar without birthing the cake and since only the top is exposed to fae/evaporation (the main pinning triggers) they'll tend to only pin on top, barring a few randos.

***from what I understand without experience doing it***

Cool, thank you. Just planning my next order of supplies so will bear that in mind.

I notice that pretty much the only pinning and fruiting is from one cluster (that was on the side of the cake). I remember this patch being very slow to populate mycelium - like I wondered if I’d accidentally missed injecting that hole above it. Eventually it did populate but not as much as the rest of the cake.

I wonder if that relative sparseness had any influence on it being the only fruiting bit. Is there anything in that? I’d have assumed the opposite really.

I'm a noob, but it would seem logical that sinse thats where it kinda closed up and tied the knot so to speak, it would be more likely for hyphal knots to form since its all closing inwards, growing from every direction but towards one point?

Id wait for more knowledged pwople to weigh in though becaise id hate to sspeculate and lead to misinformation

Hehe, it all made sense to me.  You kind of get used to translating all sorts of grammar on Internet forums
