why is my casing not colonizing
    #7617658 - 11/10/07 05:39 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

its been a week now. WBS with perfect mix layered over top. about 2" of the WBS and maybe 1/4" at max of perfect mix. which was pasteurized. in a PMP with about 95% humidity. i spray about 4 times a day. and fan afterwords. NO growth at all. whats up with that?

Umm some people on here suggest not spraying and I for one don't spray because if done correctly the casing layer will already have all the necessary water. Also the humidity during this stage I believe should be about ten percent lower cuz you want the primordia to form and then turn into little pins. The temperature is a big factor too right after you case the guy it should go into slightly cooler temperature about 74 degrees and once you have an even pinset then increase the temp and the humidity and keep the FAE going.

sounds like you're trying to fruit without giving the myc the chance to grow into the casing layer. unless timed well you should've put your grow back into colonization environment (dark, low to no air flow) until the myc started to get through the layer :crazy:

What is perfect mix? A good casing material is 50% peat, 50% vermiculite, buffered to pH 8, and pasteurizied. The addition of up to 10% gypsum also helps performance. You also need to lower the temperature to 75F to 80F.

Its still very strange that you've not got any signs of growth. Even with it being in a far too humid environment.

Hate to say it but whatever "perfect mix" is it sounds like its not quite what you want.

Far too humid environment????

That's impossible with mushrooms. They thrive in 100%, and it doesn't get higher than that.
