Racist but the criteria for my prejudice is whether or not you do your own cultivation work.

Okay but what's the purpose of increasing FAE then after pins show?


I’m not a scientist or anything so this is from many observations only but like most things in life it’s all about balance.. as the mushrooms grow up into the empty space of your fruiting chamber, that space gets smaller and needs less evaporation to maintain maximum rh.  The mushrooms themselves evaporate moisture off them.  They are the end of a water cycle that starts in the substrate and goes to the fruit bodies (the sub feeds water to the mushrooms).  The fruits can only hold so much of that water.  That’s where the balance comes in… if you allow too much FAE, the fruits and sub dry out but if you don’t give them enough FAE, that water cycle gets clogged up and the water isn’t evaporated off the mushrooms fast enough and they become water-logged. 

Since the space is reduced inside the fc by the fruits themselves (that are evaporating water constantly), more FAE is needed to maintain that balance that was required when there was more space in your fc when there wasn’t wet fruits occupying it.

This is also why if you need to add water to your grow, do it by watering your substrate not your mushrooms because your substrate is where the water cycle starts and the fruits is where the cycle ends and needs to be free to evaporate.  Ie, don’t mist your fruits directly

Not sure if this qualifies as a quick question but not sure where else to post it.

Penis envy 1:1 cased with 50/50+ about a week after full colonization. Spawned 19 days ago.





Why is it side pinning (or in this case side blobbing) so badly despite having an appropriate casing? Did I wait too long to case? I specifically apply stronger pressure around the perimeter when spawning as well.

A liner helps to prevent side pins. A casing prevents blobbing.

I used my first spore swab on water agar a couple days ago and there are a few spots along the path I dragged it starting to germinate.

Would waiting a few days for the now hydrated spores/weak mycelium to colonize further be beneficial, or is transferring to regular nut Agar now at the first signs of growth the same/just as viable?

The Spores were only a couple weeks old if it matters.

I thought tamping down along the sides stops side pins? My other tubs arent side pinning just the ones I cased. The others have blobs on top.

Never cased before so I didnt want to put all my eggs in one basket. I cased half of them.

...it seems even when I succeed I am still destined to fail...

Why god whyyyyyyy

FAE encourages healthy, fully developed fruit.  A large part of spore dispersal is facilitated by air.


So you mean kind of to stop aborts? it sounds like that that's what you mean by this. thanks for clarifying

I just started a new shoebox. The mycelium is slowly colonizing my top layer, around 20%. During this time, the walls of the shoebox have small water beads like the whole tub is humidified well. However, the mycelium appears to have minimal water beads on them. Should I mist during this time or just rely on the moisture from the overall shoebox alongside the water from the top layer?

On average how many quarts of coir are you guys getting off a 650gm block?  I multiply coir weight by 4.75, last time I think I only got about 8 qt but really don't remember

I looked at the package, it says eco-friendly lol, it's the Burpee brand

It says add 4500ml to get 8, but I'm only doing a little over 3000....

Still 8 qts is 8qts I guess

:notsureif:

Either way gonna look for those eco-terra, thanks! :thumbup:

Hi guys noob here open to any and all comments I have a melmak tub ive sent to bulk that has 100% colonized with greyish looking mycelium. Pictures do no justice as they always come out with the cake looking normal. But in person it has a weird strange grey noticable hue too it.

Ive isolated it in fear of contamination but no matter how much research and people i ask it looks like no contam. Doesnt look like cobweb or pin mold or anything else. At this point i just isolated it and i think im gonna neglect it and let it ride out.

HAs anyone experienced something like this? When i touch it has the SAME EXACT physical properties of mycelium (ever so slight rubbery texture)
