yet another "is my casing ok" thread

is my casing ok? lol
the pics looks big, but the shrooms are tiny... are they going to get a lot bigger, or does it look like these are going to be opening up shortly?
also are the white spots on the shrooms ok? or does that indicate a problem with my fc?
 first casing... rhino poo with verm as casing layer. the rhyzos broke through en masse and looked awesome. then i found these! and...
 this one!
 a pic from a nice looking shroom in my second casing. the second casing doesnt have a very good pinset because i fruited it 2 days earlier than my other first casing. this casing also showed no surface myc growth. it just sprouted one day.
the shrooms in teh last 2 pics are like an inch and a half or so. i just cased another poo casing with 50/50 mix to see if that works better.
also unrelated to my casings, i have a brf cake that is fruiting in an aquarium with perlite and water and an airstone in a cup of water. the crappy hygrometer i have reads like 75% but i dont trust it. anyways i have a bit of my cake that has a lot of blueing. i wiped with a qtip and nothing came off so i assume its oxidation. what i understand is that would be from lack of moisture, but its in a sealed aquarium with tons of water.. how could that be?

well those last 2 pics are the biggest ones right now. hope they end up bigger.
oh also, its weird but getting rhino poo was easier for me than getting horse poo. i just also got a batch of zebra poo! so yeah, they all eat grain and hay and grass, so i figure same thing. i mean well see how the rhino stuff turns out.
also also, i have a little bit of side pinning, how do i know when to pic those? at what point can i tell taht theyre aborts?

They will get really big in the last two days before harvest. You will see them probably double in size. Keep your RH up and your FAE to the max and they will really explode. How deep is your casing layer?

That's a pretty thick casing layer, but, no doubt effective. Because of that you will see them get really huge in just 12 hours times.

Don't stop misting either they love that you know and will show you in size and numbers.

its pesa, aka amazon.
also, should i be misting the casing directly? the fc has an airstone in a cup of water and i mist the actual fc daily, but i try to not let the mist fall on the casing. so yeah, do i need to mist the casings, which will also end up misting the mushies?

You can always use an old syringe to squirt the casing layer between the fruits without getting the pins wet. If you mist the pins directly, be sure to leave the bin open for an hour or so to allow plenty of free air exchange. If the pins sit wet for any length of time, they will abort. RR

Mist two to three feet away... I mist with one hand and fan with the other at the same time.... If you see water droplets on the pins. Fan liberally, then like our good friend mentioned, let them air dry.

veils are tearing on them and theyre pretty small, like maybe 2 inches high, and really thin. what would contribute to small mushies?

Lack of water will certainly do it. BTW I always recommend a light misting after you fan to bring the RH back up after fanning, this has always worked beautifully with my tub setups. Lack of water is among a few reasons shrooms abort also parameters way outside of optimum can cause aborts. The only time I've ever seen pins abort from too much water was when they are developing not after they've set, I've even seen pinsets under water for well over a day (fogger timer mishap) come back and be some of the most prolific flushes I've ever laid eyes on this has changed the way I look at mushroom development and my understanding of the growing process. Now mind you you all should know how to deliver water to your casings properly if your attempting casings in the first place. All other parameters usually won't cause aborts unless temps drop significantly maybe. This has been my experience as well as many of my fellow growers but there is still often circumstances that go unnoticed or unrecognized that can contribute to certain situations.

im assuming it was low water because i stopped misting. i thought that was bad for teh shrooms. if the shroom caps are a little wet, is that a prob?
i just picked like 2 that opened up and they came out to 2.5g wet lol. i wanted to try em out, but i dont think that will do anything. anyways, im pretty happy about this and im misting more hoping that the pins taht are growing now will be bigger and stronger.
thanks for all teh help hyphae! and everyone else too.

No problem just like in nature bro but they will have to have adequate FAE's.

i mist and fan 3 - 4 times a day, plus i have an aquarium air pump thats pumping air into the fc and increasing the rh a bit. so yeah... i think theyre gonna get better.. the ones that are in there are already much larger than the ones ive already harvested.
YAY!!! THIS WEEKENED WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!

OK ITS ANOTHER QUESTION TIME!!!!
i had afew small mushies whos veil tore too soon. i decided to pick them to make way for more (misting more like hyphae said did the trick, i got bigger ones now). anyways, when i picked the small ones, one or 2 of them had pins attached to them that i couldnt see until i had picked them.
what am i supposed to do to prevent this from happening? is there a problem if i leave mushrooms that are ready to go, in there? i know they should all be opening around teh same time, but this is my first casing and i didnt get it even enough...

just cut off the cap and leave the stem,then it wont destroy the attached pins,make some prints with your caps..
