whats wrong with my 2nd flush
    #6258887 - 11/07/06 07:05 PM (17 years, 4 months ago)

I'm a little worried about my 2nd flush. Some of the mushrooms turned black when they came out. They are the Texas strand. Has anyone ever seen this?

I have grown Texas more than any other strain and it is my absolute favorite,I have seen a few get kinda black if you let them go too long and they spit spores all over but never THAT black,I don't know what to tell you.Those look kinda sickly and scary to me.Do they smell OK ??

you need to feel the shrooms in question. If they are smushy and smell bad then it is rot, if it is solid and feels healthy then it was just spores dropped on them. lookin at the pictures it seems you have let a lota spores drop on the cakes so it is a possibillity. I do not know what could cause those to rot while the rest are healthy because the temp and hum is the same for all of them.

Weird. to me they look like the same color as spores. since you seem to like to let your shrooms mature and open up completely and I see heavy sporulation on the cakes, I would guess spores. Don't quote me on this. I'm not certain. just my 2 cents. were there mushies above those previously?

iv never had to deal with it. pick the shrooms before they spores drop. they dont get noticably bigger and def do not get anymore potent in the time that teh caps open and spores drop so save yourself a mess and pick them when the caps just start to open.

I almost always try and pic before the veil even breaks,Its not like I sell mushrooms so weight isn't really what I'm after and it seems to make for much better looking mushrooms when they are dry,I have read numerous times that the potency droops after it breaks even though I'm not sure I believe this why take the chance,The only times I have ever let them drop spores was when there was no way for me to get to them in time and by the time I got to them it was too late

mad crazy spore load and high humidity. Heavy spore deposits on cakes and casing will inhibit pinning. Tehre are also convection currents inthere and the mushrooms shoot their spores so its very commmon to have spores on top of their caps


--------------------
Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

When I would have cakes that would get messy like that a good 24 hour dunk seemed to do the trick. It wouldn't get all of the spores off but it does get a good amount. If you dont want to dunk them, rinse them in the sink with cold water. It looks like you have the hang of cakes otherwise. I would upgrade to casings for your next conquest. GJ. :thumbup:
