Bacterial or bruising?
    #27303770 - 05/11/21 03:09 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Can anyone tell me what’s going on with this mushroom? Not sure if it’s bruising + an FAE issue or something more sinister. First pic (circled) is what it looked like yesterday, second is today.

Looks like bruising, also looks dry maybe?

Too dry there,
not the best fruiting chamber for just 3 cakes.
To get them to work properly, the tub should be fully loaded with cakes,
for holding humidity up as good as possible, as you have a shitton
of holes for passive air flow.

Mist them, they start to dry out from the top.
If you plan to move on in that style,
i`d choose this tek for the next time :wink:

Thanks very much both!

There were supposed to be more cakes in the chamber but we overestimated how many we could fit in our steamer, and then also lost one to contam during colonisation.

Planning to follow a different tek next time but for now I just need to make the best of this. Anything I can do to help the humidity - presumably much more misting, maybe less fanning, anything else?

Thanks for your views on the bruising - that’s a relief.

Just keep an eye on the cakes,
they should always glisten on the surface.
Mist them if needed, not on a schedule.
Your eyes make the decisions.
I haven`t seen the tub, but if there`s holes on every side,
and the tub is lifted from the ground, i wouldn`t fan at all.
Just the moisture of perlite and the cake surface are most important.
