Pinning on sides of Casing

I forgot to cover the sides of my translucent container w/ tape to keep light from hitting the sides of the casing. There are hundreds of tiny mushrooms forming. I remember reading that they will rot and possible contaminate the casing. I have since covered the sides with a black trash bag and tape. Should I let them grow or try to remove them?

You don't need to do any preemptive removal on the ones you can get to, unfortunately its the ones say at the bottom that won't be picked when mature/aborted that are going to cause you trouble and rot.

Try to remove them. They are easier to remove if you let them get a little bigger first. You have to remove them when they quit growing of they will rot.

I had the same problem and didn't know what to do. I took the substrate out of the container and put it on top of some sterlized vermiculite on top of a flat tray and then put some sterileized vermiculite on the top of the substrate. The sides of the substarte are exposed straw, poo, wbs. I did this becuase I didn't have any pinning out of the top and there was a ton of them growing out of the sides. I have the whole thing in a rubbermaid container with pearlit in it. It seems to be doing well. It hasn't finished yet so I can't determine a final verdict yet!!!

That was exactly what I was going to suggest! Thats an excellent example of when to flatcake them and I always suggest double ending them too BTW.
