Brown Pin Caps/Casing slowly aborting? *pics*
    #6575472 -

A friend sent me some pictures and they piqued my interest:

Strain: B+/TC Temp: 70-75 Hum: previously around 100%, corrected to 90%

This casing experienced some very high humidity, and unfortunately there was standing water droplets on the casing while the pins developed. The resulting pins are very dark brown and have significant mycelial growth around the base (high humidity, yeah). I know what aborts look like, but these are questionable - some, if not all, are still growing, albeit very slowly.

What I want to know is what would one do in this situation... would you want to pick these seemingly dying pins/fruits or let them continue to develop. [By picking would it allow the casing to cut its losses and send out healthier pins in the corrected conditions?] I've seen other dark brown pins in some other logs before... is there a general reason they occur? [Humidity?] Can things like this be salvaged? or is it best to pick and hope for a better pinset next time.

Here is the casing in question:


Here is a casing that was sitting literally next to the one above, but has managed to produce much healthier pins. You can see the contrast in cap color. It is developing much faster.

They look good to me. Maybe you didn't get a very high yield, but they are certainly growing.

looks like overlay. maybe add more sterile water to them, or just get what you can and re-case???? i'm at a loss, but the pins that ARE there look ok. the B+ i have are that dark at the start.

I had a casing in such high humidity that the base of the stems of nearly every mushroom on it looked like a spiky sea urchin,they all grew and tripped fine,if they are growing let em be and they will be fine,just keep your eyes open for aborts

Does anyone know what causes the dark brown cap color? Is it possible to "save" an abort - i.e. save a pin once it has already started to take a turn for the worse?

I don't ever recall reading anything here about saving pins that are aborting,if it could be done it would be talked about often.Best of Luck to you on figuring it out but as far as I can tell it hasn't been figured out yet

my SA's and PE's start with dark dark caps, that lighten as the mushroom matures, if they go black, they are aborts.

A little jar I have right now has pins growing on aborts that I didn't pull off, wondering if the 2 pins on the tiny little abort will grow, the abort is about 4mm tall, and the 2 pins are about 1.5mm each on either side of the top of the abort
