I've been growin cakes for years, and never fanned mulitiple times an hour, of course, Ive never done any adanced grow techniques besides casing cakes, which isnt really advanced if you ask me. I've also never heard that fanning multiple times an hour was optimal, has your experience proved otherwise, and how so please share.

From "The mushroom cultivator" by Staments, about Psilocybe cropping:


"Cropping:
Relative Humidity: 85-92%.
Air Temperature: 74-78?F.
CO2: less than 5000 ppm.

Fresh Air Exchanges: 1-3 per hour.

Flushing Pattern: Every 5-8 days.
Harvest Stage: When the cap becomes convex and soon after the partial veil ruptures.
Light: Indirect natural or same as above."

why wouldnt you mist, who told you this? Keep em wet, they love water




Pins don't like being "wet" at all. The formation of water droplets on the surface of cakes discourages pin formation and can promote the growth of poorly formed fruitbodies and contaminants. Misting should be maintained during pin formation and mushroom growth if humidity will drop significantly without this attention, but care should be taken to ensure that water droplets do not form on the mycelium surface or on the fruitbodies themselves.

Misting too little is greatly preferable to misting too much.

I find with proper FAE's droplets evaporate rather nicely. IMO larger crops would benefit from more frequent FAE's. IME 1-3 per hour is totally unnecessary and may even cause excessive drying in certain peoples situations. I agree misting during primordia formation can certainly destroy many a pin.

Ok, ok, so Im hearing different things from all angles here, right now pins are forming, and there are some pins that are larger, and becoming mushrooms, so should I continue to fan and mist twice daily, or should i cut it down wouldnt want to hurt the first mushies ive seen in years, but wouldnt want to stunt their growth either

I have lightly misted with a very fine mist throughout pinning and fruitbody maturation without a problem ever but some have had problems which I believe is due more to their water delivery technique. Mushies are about 92% water so they have a strong simbiotic relationship with water, it's just the way it is. I recommend misting but make sure water is being absorbed between mistings otherwise you will have problems. GL

Because mycology is more of an art than a science..
