What went wrong?

Hello,
here're my pics. The strain is (keepers) creepers



Apparently everthing is ok but... it obviously is not. The yield is far from satisfactory as you can see, plus the shrooms are really short (quite fat though).
Do you guys get this sort of shrooms when growing the creepers? I thought my mistakes might be: 1. Not enough colonized substrate 2. Not dunking the cakes before casing them 3. wrong casing material (I am using soil)
I have ruled out the temperature and humidity factors, because i now have a very good (at least for me) set up, that enables me to fix the temperature to around 23 C (74 F... why dont you guys go metric!!! )
Any help is welcome

your first mistake was buying keeper's creeper.
probably a bad pinset.

Look into 50/50+. Did you just case PF cakes? Try searching around for the benefits of spawning your cakes to compost or horse poo and you'll get way bigger (and more potent) flushes guaranteed

Yeah I used rye cakes. I'll have a look at other spawning teks... I don't like to play around with poo, though 
Compost is the enriched plant's soil? Cause that's what I use
(sorry for my english, not native englissh u know... i hate to keep repeating this but you know... at least u have a a partial explanation for my dumbness... eheheh)

Also, are you sure this is overlay? If so, I've had much worse overlay in the past...

You could also try looking for straw info. Not as good as poop, but better than straight rye. Compost would be horse poo, straw, and some optional ingredients watered once a week and turned over everyday. Easy compost and Hyphae's pinning strategy. Have fun!

This could definitely be the cause of your problems. Check out the archives for casing substrate.

I would like to add, this cultivation has been a big success for me anyway. I closed the circle. I used MY prints. Soooo happy, I just realized that!
