Hey everyone. This is the first time I'm growing Panaeolus cyanescens. The mycelium have little bumps on them? Is this normal?

Keep an eye on that and don't throw it out yet, it could be pins or sclerotia, they kinda start out looking like that with other species of pans.

Depending on how you pasteurize, it can best practice to let the thermophilic bacteria recolonize the outer substrate layer over the course of days anyways

(steam partially sterilizes the sub)

If you sous vide, it never goes above 140-180°F and don't have that issue

Are you saying with the Sous Vide there is no need for the wait?

Harvested this tray of bispos today:


These are the first fruits I have harvested in over a month I think. For a while, all my cult time went into building my flow hood and that damn thing took over a month to finish and get sorted. I wasn't streaking plates or making spawn during that time so I ended up in a place where everything I had going fruited and I was left with empty shelves and an empty tent. Now I keep finding myself sitting on jars that are 100% consolidated for 1-2 weeks because I don't have time to pasteurize substrate or spawn trays. I know JOC has said he gets subpar results from spawning jars that were allowed to sit 1+ weeks past 100% colonization but am curious what your experiences have been with this? I know over on the stone producer thread, a lot of people are leaving their spawn jars for weeks or months before fruiting and still get great flushes. I realize this could be specifically because of the survival mechanism of stone producers, but I personally haven't noticed lack-luster fruiting of pans or cubes when letting my jars sit 1-3 weeks beyond full colonization. However, I haven't done any true experiments on it where I create a couple jars from the same clone and fruit one right at full colonization and fruit the other three weeks later and compare results.
