Yeah sure, I just thought I’m clever and give a better idea how humid it might be in there.

I see nothing wrong with those fruits.

Pro tip:  If your mushrooms are fruiting, LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE.  Do not interrupt your mushrooms with your burning insecurity and need to take action.  I know it feels better to do SOMETHING, but most of the time what you need to do is nothing.

If you’re not sure what to do, then ask here before altering what you are doing.  Wait for advice from a TC.

Thanks for the reassurance! And for reminding me to not fiddle with things too much. Slight case of hyperfixation, probably will get easier, or finds something else. 🙃

Good luck with that   it doesn’t.  Best bet is to start another project or 6

The temp reached inside the PC is what matters, and that is going to directly correspond to the pressure level.  Your burner setting isn't going to affect how "cooked" they get.  Most all of us start on the high end and drop it to around med-low to maintain pressure without burning off a bunch of the water level. 

As long as your jars are up on the trivet and not in direct contact with the bottom, shouldn't matter at all.

I am not a fan of no prep.  I get that it works for some people, but I get perfect results every time with bird seed using a soak overnight, then strain, then pour boiling water into a pot not on a burner and soak for 30 mins, then drain and spread out to dry with a fan on them.  Once my grains are dry on the outside I jar em and PC.  Very rare is a single split grain.

But i do the recommendation for hydration which recipe i can trust?

I try to mist it every few days

We use that recipe for substrate in bags. Very little headspace, and only a small filter patch for gas exchange. You’re using it in an entirely different manner, so of course it’s not working out for you. You can’t pick and choose parts of a tek to follow. That ratio works for those mushrooms when grown in a bag. Different fruiting conditions may require a different starting point.

Looks like myc.  How fast is it growing compared to the rhizomorphs?

Klarn, I wouldn't do that, because the citric acid would change the psilocybin to psilocin through exposure. Not sure what that will do inside of the capsule, but I think it more likely to loose potency vs gain something but Im not sure.

How come you don't use the ez unmodified lid tek for your lids?

Why do you think I'm not?

That's total makes sense can i save my tube? I think about to spray ever 2 Day's and mist it so it sucks up by the sawdust?

Next time i need too go up with water ratio damn i forgot the condition I spray inside and thought it is enough

Stinkyfingers, blobs happen, mostly a genetics thing, plus i think environmental stressors. Second one seems iffy, does it smell sweet like rotting fruit?

---

No sweet rotting fruit smell. I'm trying to understand the environmental stressors. My goal is to have these trays dialed in with canopies before committing to a monotub. I don't think JMF blobs due to genetics as far as I know. From what I've gathered through the search engine, it's mostly PE or something like Lysol or iso spray landing on the substrate. They didn't blob on my cakes at least. I did find a few people saying that if your spawn to sub ratio is too high, blobbing can happen but there was very little information on this. I did use about a 1:1 maybe even a 1:.9. I also saved some spawn and added a single sprinkled layer of spawn over the already mixed spawn and sub before adding a pseudo casing or covering. Should i have cased again after the surface was 100% colonized?
