Actually, it sounds like he had them sitting directly on the perlite and got them waterlogged. Boil into tea if you're going to consume them to make sure you kill the bacteria. Next time, set them on jar lids or foil.

Thanks for jumping in RogerRabbit... Actually, this is a casing tray that I am referring to. I had them sitting on a rack so that the surface area of the perlite at the bottom was exposed more. I have now removed the rack so that the tray is sitting directly on the perlite.

I still think they look waterlogged... What is the effect of that? Are they savable now that I have lowered the moisture in the tub?

They're not molding, but waterlogged mushrooms can have some pretty nasty bacteria that will give an upset stomach if you eat them raw. Just boil into tea and you'll be fine. If they weren't in contact with the perlite, they got waterlogged from excess watering, not the perlite which only provides humidity.

The green you saw was probably just bruising.

Hmmm, watering? I haven't misted or watered at all. I simply cased while the casing layer was just around field capacity. That's it.

There are four 1.5" holes on either side of the fruiting chamber, all stuffed with poly-fill. There is 1" of damp (strained) perlite at the bottom of the chamber. I had the two trays that I have in there sitting on little racks that allowed the surface area of the perlite to be greater. I have now removed these two racks and the trays are sitting directly on the perlite (and I am still getting humidity in the high 80's).

I also have another question here:

When harvesting some of the shrooms, particularly the ones on the sides, I have noticed that there are some small shrooms growing underneath, or even sometimes there is shroom flesh, but not actual full shrooms. How does one go about clearing all this out without wrecking havoc on the casing layer? Could I just replace the entire casing layer after the first flush? I kind of feel like I want to chuck it all and make sure there are no rotting shrooms underneath or any partial shroom flesh or something (which will rot if it is left there, right?)

Thoughts...

Then I don't see how they can be waterlogged. Put up a picture or just watch and observe.

I have those pictures above that I posted above (these are NOT the ones that had coloration inside of the stems. Those are all gone now. These ones do look a little damp to me):

They're fine. Up your air exchange a bit.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking... Since the holes are only 1.5" (instead of monstermitch's 2" ones), I think that I need some extra FAE (more than is naturally provided by the presence of the poly-fil holes). I will start doing that now and see what happens.

Could you address my post #6387355 above: About harvesting and the casing layer, etc...

Just leave it alone,it shouldn't rot unless they are aborts and if they are you will know it because they look like little mushrooms except their caps turn black and they never grow,don't destroy your casing layer trying to get everything,it will do much more harm than good

Right, but what about those that I picked from the sides but I can tell there is still some "meat" (flesh) left underneath. For sure that will rot. Should I just dig that up and patch the area?

many say to remove it with tweezers. I haven't had any problems just leaving it tho. It will eventually just bruise alot then start turning back into regular myc.
