Uneven primordial growth, can I pick?
    #5406373 - 03/15/06 10:35 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Well I'm getting some small mushrooms from my casing (cambodian). Some are just about to drop spores while others are still fat pins waiting to mature. I don't want to harvest the whole current flush because I have LOADS of pins that are still babies. Can I pick only the mature ones, and patch the disturbed area with more casing mix?

yeah but once they drop spores and start to rot I'll still have pins coming up I'd rather end up with more weight in my first flush than wait on subsequent flushes. I just want the most out of each and every pin.

Ok the deed's done. I picked the most mature with pretty little difficulty. This time it kinda felt like pulling teeth. I pulled this one out whose stem was like a long molar root lol. They're actually pretty solid for small mushrooms...very dense.

Why are they so small though? I don't think a single mushroom is more than 1.5" long...most smaller than that. Is it just the cambodian strain or could I be doing something to make them stunted?

I would pick the mature ones with a turning motion (like you are unscrewing it) really gently

then patch up the casing

Small fruits are most often indicative of a shallow substrate, that lacks a proper moisture content. Usually tied in with a poor casing cover & management.

Most often prolific first flush fruits are smaller, anyway.

It is sort of like hundreds of babies suckling on one single breast.
None, get optimal moisture, or nutrients.

Second flushes most often produce bigger fruits, simply because there are less of them. Meaning, each gets more from the substrate.

Harvesting near mature fruits, when immature fruits adjoin them often causes many of the smaller immature mushrooms - to stall - or abort.

This occurs because the immediate mycelium network gets disrupted.
(by twist & pull harvesting)

How you remedy that, is to simply cut the caps off the mature mushrooms. Which doesn't disrupt the mycelium network. Then do a clean sweep harvest, once the trays surface is fully grown out.

I tore up that casing pretty bad :-(

I used the twisting motion but there were so many tiny pins surrounding the mature ones that some fell loose and when I tried to pick them up I touched the casing layer and bruised it up a bit. I scattered some fresh casing mix over it and misted it, threw it back into the FC and I'm hoping I'll see some more before the rest is shot.

This needs to be added to the FAQ's, word for word.
