Caps not opening... All mutated mushies?
    #4925297 - 11/12/05 08:34 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

Alright... I have frequest air exchange under control... I fan twice a day (I don't mist terrarium since I just add water to perlite, but mist the 2 pop bottle cakes.

First my problem was that they were little nubs not really growing any bigger... Now the stems grow bigger but the caps never really seem to open up... Besides that they all look contorted one is so twisted up that near the head it is turning blue from pinching itself (If that makes any sense). The heads never really get any bigger than when they were pins. The stems grow, but not the heads... What does that mean?

I had similar problems and it was a heat issue IMO.

What is your fruiting chamber temp?

Mutated mushies can happen from lack of gas exchange/fresh air. May need to fan more than twice. Also, i am liking lava rock instead of perlite now....lava ROCKS!

About what you posted

"I'm having the same thing on one of my casings. I'd like to know what it is ... it's not my them .. it stays a constant 75 deg or so.

Thats exactly what's happening to me... The edges turn a dark blue then just kind of shrivel or something. But... I actually decreased fanning and left the light off longer.. (Don't know if that has anything to do with it...) and they actually are starting to look somewhat decent... I'll keep you informed of anything.
