Odd mutation. Any suggestions?
    #7632715 - 11/13/07 09:15 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I find what is happening quite intriguing. I've searched for the any possible answers on here but I have yet to come up with anything...Which is why I'm posting. I do apologize if someone has indeed posted such question.

The following is;

Strain: Burma
PF Tek with BRF, Corn and Vermiculite. (I found no contamination in jars before birthing)
Cased with 50/50 peat moss and vermiculite.






I actually have 2 casings like this. All mushrooms seem to have a really big stalk and a tiny head which usually umbrellas in the opposite direction than normal. I made quite a few casings and only 2 of the casings with the Burma strain has seemed to do this. The 3rd casing is just fine. I'm a firm believer in air exhange and I know it's crucial. So I kind of ruled that out. Also, they may look slimy but that's because I had just misted.

Any suggestions are fine. Like I said, I'm more inrigued than anything about these guys.

Thanks for the help!

Are you misting with something other then water? I am not sure why the third casing would be unaffected, this is odd.

Right? I'm not sure what's going on. I'm left scratching my head as well, haha. Just wanted a few opinions.

Oh, sorry. I didnt answer your questions. And no, I'm not misting with anything other than water. No H2O2 or anything.

ya they look way too wet.
i think your drowning them, a few even have big water droplets on them and the gills are soaked!
once they start growing you don't want to mist them directly or at all really with a casing, just want the humidity 90%+ around it.
i have high humidity and i dont mist at all once they pin, mushies have grown great.

hope it helps

only other idea is sanitation products like lysol can cause some really weird mutations, any chance you could have gotten some on the casing somehow?

I seriously doubt misting is the cause of these mutations. Especially since the 3rd casing is normal. I mist a lot of my mushrooms, and although it can lead to rot (esp. in warm temps), it usually does not with healthy mushrooms. These ones you might want to pick as soon as they stop growing, because they will only begin to degrade there after.

misting directly doesnt hurt them. They are acting like a degenerate strain or a contamed casing. Some contams are not visible but will casue the mushrooms to distort


--------------------
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.
