Fruiting Problems! (pics)
    #7501557 - 10/09/07 12:48 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I have some 5 days old pins that remained little pins but won't turn dark at all... I don't have a single mature shroom on any of my 5 days ago pinned cakes, and one cake has no pins at all. I tried to search for use of expanded clay pellets in place of perlite but it's not helping much really...

Can anyone tell anything by the looks of these? Two of those pins have brown stripes on them, that are forming into dents on the stems =/  Might it be some sort of bacteria??? Water dropping on them would make them brown but dented?? looks pretty dry/flaky too


I have one fat-ass shroom (only one this big, but it's pretty small anyways) that I was excited about. Well I read stripes on Equadorians (which all my cakes are, and from the same print) are pretty common on the stems... here a brown stripe is, again, turning into a tear on the stem.


A weird blob that won't grow and is pale (have lots of blobs lol)


Umm so, fat pins = too high humidity? But then I have a fat pin and right next to it a skinny one? My semi-expensive temp/hydrometer doesn't seem very reliable! Temp is about 22,5 degrees Celsius inside FC, and it keeps showing humidity is 100%... I dunno, I cut down on my misting, it has been 2-4 times a day (now only in the morning and then night) and fanning every 1 or 2 hours when I'm home (unfortunately have to be away 10 hours a day for studying). Fanning is maybe 5-7 times a day. My FCs have just a few small holes on all sides, bottom and lid, wasn't sure if it was a good idea... light is 12/12 with a bright energy saving lamp

I dunked all my cakes for about 20h after birthing, they don't seem very lightweight, and I took a closer look at the one with no pins, didn't notice anything extra and no bad smell. Well, the smell is relative though. My question is, does it seem the humidity is too high/low? I don't know how I should try to control it with the clay pellets! And what's with the brown crap? Some lucky people would have their own shroomies by now :sad:

(I picked one abort, it was really hard like wood, hmmm never handled any shroom before. Nice old sock/cheese smell :rolleyes: )

i had a pinset that took about two full weeks to mature. never had any aborts but they just took forever to grow.

your temperature could be too high and that does slow growth.

Hmm thanks for the reply... well humidity can't be completely wrong since at least a couple have grown some!

The first picture is my only cake with that kind of cluster of pins, all others have just some gnarly blob crap (maybe 3-8 per cake) or nothing

(Hmm temp is my average room temp, hard to change it really...)
