tiny mushrooms

for some reason my amazonian I am working with are producing tiny mushrooms. I cant figure out why? I am getting a lot of them but they seem realy small. Are Amazonians supposed to be small? BTW they are cakes.

Not very much info on either post.. probably why these got ignored. Do a search, and do some reading.

It's moisture related. Provided you followed one the established teks regarding your substrate preparation, small mushrooms are caused by a shortage of water. After this flush, dunk. It's not strain related. All strains we see are of the same species and I've seen huge amazons. RR

sorry I didn't give much info on this... The cakes were dunked and rolled after colonization for 12 hrs. So they should have plenty of moisture. I though maybe it was poor FAE but I used the pollyfill TEK which is supposed to take care of that. yes is was a multi-spore inoc. And I guess I will have to do some reading on isolation, because I am not familiar with that. And I would have to grow one that is worthy of isolation

I wouldn't count on polyfil for FAE, I think RR tackled this subject the other day. I'd still fan a couple times a day just to be sure... I agree if you want bigger or more mushrooms switch to a casing, I was very dissapointed with cakes and mine did fairly well for cakes. My next is rye berries spawned to hpoo then cased, the general concensus seems to be that this is the way to go for larger mushrooms and lots of mushrooms...

I agree, most likely moisture problem IME!
I actually over moistured my casing and had the same prob, hope it helps
