1st flush growing slowly : should I harvest now ?
    #5995043 - 08/25/06 03:23 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

it's been ten days since the first pinhead appeared on my first growingkit ever experience

while two mushrooms are now rather big (one especially) the others grow rather slowly, but what bothers me most is that there are new pinheads appearing, why am I bothering you gonna ask me ! well I read that the mushrooms come in flushes and not continuously, here it definitely looks like a continuous process, at this stage I start to worry about the kit to have enough humidity to help the mushrooms grow healthly

so here are my questions :

1. should I remove all the mushrooms at some point for the second harvest ?
2. should I give it some water ?
3. should I remove the few bigger mushrooms ?
4. how much time can I wait before harvesting ?

thanks for your answers...

Harvest them as the veil tears. If you leave them longer, they'll drop spores everywhere and make a mess.

If they're growing slowly, they probably need water. You'll need to describe the setup and/or show a picture for more information.

A few of my mushrooms (not the biggest/tallest ones) have their caps similar to the one of this picture :

None (even the biggest ones) has an open cap, all the caps are still like a ball so far, so I guess I don't have to fear a spores launch, right ?

So it doesn't matter how long it takes for the mushrooms to reach maturity as long as the spores don't come out ? It's probably gonna be a three weeks process before harvesting from the moment the first pinhead appeared...

I've just picked all the mushrooms on my kit as the veils of some mushrooms seemed broken, it took me by surprise as these were not the big ones but some which looked like aborts. The kit only gave me about 50 grams of fresh mushrooms. I hope I'll get better results with the second flush...
