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 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

Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

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
