That looks to be a severe case of overlay to me. Thos might have to be scratched, patched and kept in better conditions. Some one else will chime in here soon, I am more testing my memory ability right now.

Oh...I see!! Yeah, that whole part about no casing should have been my first clue.
The thing about that is mushrooms need that casing layer to tell them that the nutrients are running out and it's time to lay fruit. I can remember anyone talking about NOT using a casing layer to get them to fruit. I could be wrong (like I was above). Take it with a grain of salt.

looks like overlay to me.
I once had the same kind of overlay and there were no pins growing on the surface for a long time. I then put another layer of coco/vermi soil over it and then it worked.

No overlay, they are beginning to knot but I would have cased those bro with a peat based 50/50+. Looking good though but yields can be increased considerably by casing and following my pinning strategy. GL

As far as i understand, overlay is only possible when using a casing layer, straight Hpoo cannot overlay.
Hyphae, would it be worth adding a casing layer in 2 days time?? Have no time over this weekend, or would it be better to leave it how its been for the last 4 days.

no ones stated the obvious yet. Drop your temps from 80 to 75.

Im finding it hard to drop temps in the afternoons, the average day here in Western Australia is about 85 F at least. The temp inside the FC is only usually at 80 for about 4 hrs during the afternoon, during the mornings/evenings and nights its at 72 - 75.

Read my pinning strategy that explains what overlay actually is.

4 days in I certainly wouldn't case now. Your temps will be alright also not optimal but the range should work out nicely. GL BTW with no casing keep that RH at 98% during pinning!

Ok awesome, thanks a lot Hyphae, uve cleared up these last few things ive been worrying about. Keeping humidity up and stable seems to be working prefectly in my FC (wat can i say, beginners luck, hehe), so i will keep at 98% now, was thinking about modifying the tub today to drop it after wat a few people said, thanks for clearing it up tho and ill leave as is. Temps im not worrying too much about because im sure temps out in nature would fluctuate a LOT more, and thats where shrooms originate. I know that cooler temps will induce pinning, and that stable temps are the OPTIMUM option, but i dont think a fluctuation of about 3 or 4 deg is uncommon in nature and i think theyl be fine.
