There pinning from the bottom because thats where the best conditions are, i have had that on a few cakes, my last cakes pinned from the bottom on the first flush, then the pinned from the middle and top on the 2nd flush, now they are pinning from the bottom again (they were left for 3 days this time with very little fanning and spraying)

When cakes pin at the bottom it has nothing to do with the fact that the cakes were grown right side up, upside down, on their sides, or constantly spinning. Hyphal knots (which become pins) form on the surface of the mycelia but only in those areas where the humidity is high enough.

That means that unless your setup is perfect, most of your pins will be either on the end close to the perlite or on the end with the verm protection layer (which you should have taken off anyway) or near the top verm reservoir if you added one later

Don't put straws or wicks or anything else in your cakes to rehydrate them as you will waterlog the cake.

If your myc continues to shoot out and be fuzzy with no pinning your temp may be a few degrees too high. Also, yes IME it is important to keep rH up but during pinning it wont hurt for it to be 90%..if you can lower temps a few degrees you might be able to drop the rH slightly...also with stubborn pinners I have found increasing lighting to 12-24 hrs helps, especailly with the temp drop..also more FAE more often will help lower the rH a bit...and you can never have enough o2 to get pins going. Good luck!

New Update! These things are HUGE! When do I pick them? Do I wait for the top to unfold or do I pick them and then cut around the top?

you don't cut arond anything . Try to harvest them just when the veils are tearing . Which you should probably see within a day . Holding the shrooms closer to the cake . Pull them while giving a twist .

I'm no expert, but I think some of those guys could probably be picked off now.

i cannot wait, this is pretty much my first time growing, so im pretty psyched to say the least.

also what do you advise for drying technique? Just set them out in front of a fan?

its a matter of choice , i love em fresh yummy =)
but people will tell you to buy desiccant and put the desiccant in a box
and on top of desiccant a wire for seperating the shroomies and desiccant this way you can have cracker dry shrooms , otherwise i guess it takes from 2-3 days to fan dry em , depending on your climate (humidity)

so i decided to harvest some of my shrooms today. Take a look at what I got, and will fanning be sufficient? Or should I get some epsom salt as well?

Do a search. Drying teks, fan drying, epsom salt, dessicants, dehydrator...etc. I've heard about it being done with a black t-shirt and some lights.

I'm probably going to only be using a fan.. Should be pretty dry after 72 hours, so they say. In addition to the above methods already mentioned, some reported using a dehydrator, placing the shrooms on top of their CRT monitor, etc etc.

Fan dry to get the bulk of the humidity out of the shrooms and then put in a box with dissecant once they are nearly dry but still a bit soft for that extra cracker dry goodness.

you can just lay in a cardboard box with a fan over the top and they will dry. Refridgerators have a lil fan on the bottom, you can set them there...or invest in a nesco six tray for $25.00. They rock.

alright so my first flush is done.... 5 out of the 6 cakes total have produced a great amount of mushrooms - so im pretty psyched. Everything is drying out right now, so I will eventually see later this week how many dried grams I got.

However, I was gone over the weekend - and when I came back today the perlite and thermometer had a black suit on them. It easily came off though, and was only on some of the mushrooms. Are these spores or some kind of contam? Safe to eat?

Here's Pics:

Thats spores, nothing to worry about. When the caps open that much they go crazy dropping spores.
