Black Caps
    #5630485 - 05/14/06 10:33 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

A bunch of my caps are turning dark blue/black. Mostly just the caps that are on my smaller 1-2 inch mushrooms that are growing near the larger ones. One of my bigger ones was doing just fine, then suddenly stopped growing, and formed a big bulge in the stem. After that the cap bent at a complete 90 degree angle, grew a little more, turned black, and quit growing. Why are all of my mushrooms turning black and pointed? Thanks.

PS: I have optimal growing conditions for my PF cakes, and there are no signs of contamination.

That's just the bigger shrooms droping its spores on the small ones below. Nothing to worry about.

Sounds like aborts to me. If they stop growing for a few days then turn black they're going to rot and turn to goo soon. Pick em and dry em asap.

Those are aborts. Leaving them on your cakes is depriving your larger fruits. Pick them and leave the healthly ones.
