Skinny Fruits
    #5611896 - 05/10/06 08:53 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

The mushrooms on one of my casings are almost matured, but the fruits are kinda thin. Any advice in changing my methods? I don't know what I could do in the future to produce bigger fruits. Ill have pics up soon.

What was your substrate? What was your casing layer? What kind of set up did you use? It's tough to give you answers without some more info.

Thicker substrate, and more of it. How deep is yours, and how much volume? If you want the big honkers, go big + deep. 4" of manure and at least 3 LBS in a tray won't let you down.

Well, my substrate is brown rice flour and vermiculite. I used about an inch layer of mycelium and cased it with 50/50 vermiculite and peat moss with 15% crushed oyster shell added. The casing is in this tupperware container i found around my house with another inverted tupperware container connected on top of it, making a dome type shape. I thought this was pretty clever :smile: Im not sure how much the humidity is exactly, but my other casings i have are in a rubbermaid container with  perlite humidification and the humidity in there is at about 85%. Those casings also have thin fruits as well.

It's your BRF and thin substrate.

Switch to bulk methods (easy by the way) and go with a deep substrate of around 3-5 inches, you'll get some biggens for sure.

Long skinny stems with smaller than usual caps are a very common indicator of higher CO2 levels. If thats the case increase FAE's. GL bro

Good call hyphae, wasn't thinking environmental, how wrong of me... It could be both, but maybe just the co2...

More substrate
Better substrate
More Frequent Air Exchange

You should be fine after those changes
