Slowly growing mushies
    #5882467 - 07/20/06 07:54 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

So it's been really hot here lately, and my casings are in the pinning stage. My problem is that my babies are growing extremely slowly. One guy has been growing for 7 days and is still rather immature (no defined cap, it is still basically a red bump). So I'm wondering if temperature is the only factor? I have them exposed to weak light 12 for about 12 hours a day and am misting them daily (+ perlite humidification), fanning probably 5-7 times a day.

Are my yields going to be hosed? I have 3 other casings in there too that are basically just colonizing the casing layer like crazy and not pinning. It should only take like 5ish days from pin -> opened veil, right? Is this going to be a significant problem, or will it just mean that it takes a little bit longer per flush?

edit: By pretty hot I mean 95-105 F

Hot weather usually speeds up fruitbody development. I've had them go from pins to large mushrooms in three days. Something else is wrong. Is your substrate dry? If so, pour some water to it. You should be able to lift the tray and get an idea of moisture content by how much it weighs. If it's light, you can simply pour some water around the edges. It's hard to get enough moisture to it by misting once you get behind the curve. Don't go overboard, but get it hydrated.

The key factors in fruiting are an increase in FAE, an increase in light and a temperature drop. Ideal is low-mid 70F. RH should be around 100% too.

The temps where my shrooms are tend to be around 85F-95F which is obviously way higher than they should be. But the fact is my shrooms still grow. I just make sure they have lots of the other stuff (RH, FAE, light). It takes longer but hey, that's the breaks.

I'd say your problem lie elsewhere. Like low RH.

Ah, thanks.  That's probably it.  I dribbled some water on it but it just pooled on top not soaking in.  So that one might be hosed.  Definitely going to increase casing humidity for next time :tongue:
