Am I Suffocating These Shoeboxes?
    #27283253 - 04/26/21 10:22 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey all, so im getting concerned that this mycl is either contamed or suffocating. Im sorry about the quality but i took the best pics I could of it, this is just one of them. It looks like its reaching out for air, or is this "spikey" myc that points to a contam?
Ive been following a "set and forget" tek and I was under the impression I didnt need to do anything at all until the first harvest.
Is this wrong? Should I have popped and flipped the lids? They were spawned 6 and 7 days ago. The others dont look like theyre reaching out nearly this bad, they have a few spots that look a little ariel but for the most part they look more like mats and less reachy like this one.
At the moment I have the lids totally on, should i unclip them? Leave them? HELP. Im rly sick of getting tiny yields and im really really trying to do this right. People say to not use marthas and that unmodified set and forget are the best way to go so yeah. What do i do lol

I'd just unlatch the lids, if flipping them gives more fae, I'd flip them. 

Just looks a little too moist, not badly or anything, just a little.  Probably not quite enough FAE

It's not too moist. Have patience. Hyphal not formation doesn't even seem to have started yet. I'd stick the lid back on and check again in a few days. you aren't going to need to allow more air until the pin set is established. Even then (I don't do and have never really done unmodded anythings so....) you may be able to leave the lid on until the fruits are hitting it.

Only reason I think it looks a little moist is the coir is so dark.

Looks relatively healthy imo.

:thumbup:

It might dry out too quickly if you have low RH.  Flipping the lid might be a little more control able.  Or just popping the latches so it sits up a hair.

I agree with Verum though, just needs more time overall.

btw, you can totally just leave the lid latched down the entire fruiting process. sometimes bigger shrooms will hit the top & grow in weird, but i’ve had whole flushes fully mature & stay under a latched lid on a shoebox

also you don’t need to tape the sides, the light causing side pinning thing isn’t really true (assuming that’s why it’s there)

You got some solid advice from a TC I would follow it. Me personally, I like to unlatch the lids after the pins start forming, it still stays plenty humid inside the shoeboxes at least in my respective climate/rh. When I leave the kids latched closed, I get a lot of fuzzy feet reaching halfway up my stems, so I prefer to simply unlatch and let the lid rest on top after pins have formed. Either way they will still grow to maturity, whether it'd snapped or not.

Well it actually kind of is. 

This is a mushroom growing site, and your saying I'm not a successful grower. Kinda pisses a guy off.

Bet I've grown 10x the weight you have:thumbup:
