Initiating fruiting
    #5876097 - 07/19/06 12:05 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Well not long ago, I noticed one of my jars was beginning to grow mycelium through the holes in the lid, so I decided to go ahead and scrape that off with the majority of vermiculite. The rest of my cakes are lagging behind for some reason, but that's fine with me.

My question is, what should I do now? The cake is in a seperate dish with a thin layer of vermiculite (humidity is atleast 90 percent. My gauge doesn't read any higher than that), and I've had it under a blue incandecent bulb for a few days. I havn't fanned it or anything yet, because I'm not sure how many times a day to do it. It's a relatively small container (it's a cake dish) so I'm sure oxygen runs out quick. Any tips at all is very appreciated.

You need to read over the PF Tek available at the shroomery. This will tell you everything you need to know. Just to help you out right now, you need to start fanning that cake at least 1 time a day and misting. You not fanning it for the last few days is inviting all types of nasty contaminations. Stagnant air is the #1 cause of contams. Dont leave your cakes or casings unfanned, everrr.
