Shrooms look good before drying, but after they are bad.. Help Please
    #6033023 - 09/05/06 08:21 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

I have had a few different succesful harvests of Australian cubes, and I have dried them all in a food dehyrdator. When they are still wet, they look huge, but after they are dried there stems are like a cm wide in some cases. I fully understand that there will be some shrinkage, but I have seen other shrooms that are completely dried, and havent shrunk up completely. Will try to get some pics, but is this normal? I am thinking it is just the strain. I have some gts that I am pick tomorrow, and hopefully i can tell the difference. Has Anyone had this same experience with aussies? I would switch to a new strain, but they seem to give me a really strong body buzz which I like. :tongue2: It is not a huge concern just more of a inquistive mind at work. Thanks

EDIT: forgot to add, they are PF cakes, some were cased, some werent. I have an automated FC, with plenty of FAE and I dunked and rolled, or just dunked then cased.

A cube is the same as just about all other cubes :smile:

with that said you will lose about 85-90% due to water. My GT's weighed about almost an oz and dried to just over an eighth.

IMOP some of the meatier ones for me have been PE, TX, and Z

In the end they are all cubes to me

Oh and as far as cakes vs casings go, I feel as there is more potency with casings then to fruit off the cake

Spawn to horse poo... grown off that substrate will produxce larger fruits. (even coco coir will produce larger fruits, but is considered a one flush wonder.

I spawned this batch using 50/50 hpoo/verm mix. Really weird lookings caps. Black, but when put into light they appear brownish reddish. They almost appear holograhpic. Pretty sure this is aussie. But I could tell the difference with this batch. They are still drying but seem to be a lot thicker, and weigh more. So it looks like my problem was not using HPOO. But what is up with these caps.



Here is a closer shot of the caps.

overmature.... they have spores all over the top. take a wet papertowel to the tops, those spores will wipe off easily.

Yes, that would make sense. The timing was bad, yesterday around 7 pm they were close but not quite, and the soonest I could get back home was around 4 PM next day. Thanks it seems obvious but i never would of thought of that. But now there are spores all over my FC will that effect ne thing? And how do i go bout cleaning them up?

EDit: Also are they safe for consumpation? I am assuming they are, but I dont want to take ne chances with this, especially if I want to share with a few friends... :smirk:

safe... yes

spores all ove the Fc.. (it's gonna happen) i clean out my greenhouses after each "session is depleted"

cleaning: i take the plastic off and place it over my lampost outside, and hose the greenhouse covering off with a Mr. Clean Auto Dry Carwash. Works great.
