Can't tell, buddy. I can see the DVD case in the background, and not the cake. The thing that usually tips you off to they're being aborts, is black caps though. Put up some better pics and we'll be better able to tell you.

Maybe genetics? Is this your first project to turn out like that?

yeah, I saw the last pic posted in another thread. You did say you used white flour, try dark colored flour or the recommended Brown Rice Flour (BRF). I just assume that anything with a darkish tone would suffice. On the bright side, you did discover something here... just not exactly too sure what. A feasible and appropriate experiment you could employ here would be to take tissue from one of those and inoculate some other type of substrate and see how potent the mushrooms are then. If there is no change (assuming all of your other parameter's are met) then you could say that the genetics were shit. I've read in the advanced forums that changing a select genetic specimens diet every so often supercharges the myceliums vigor and health. Move to Brown Rice Flour via a coffee grinder or blender. They say this is the best when using the rice.

oh, yeah... you'd at least have had bigger mushrooms if you had given them more moisture. Now that you mention it, the cakes are deformed. This is a sign of dehydration. Maybe it's a combo of dehydration and un-preferable substrate.

I dont think its the flour, but i hate to tell you. Those mushrooms wont be very potent. White grows mushrooms, but lacks the nuitrients to make them potent.
Skinny mushrooms are usually result of build up of co2, are they getting enough FAE

I was thinking that your cake was probably just drying out and so the shrooms came out skinny. Then you mentioned that you didn't dunk.
I think it's a combo of what Veda said, excess CO2 and using white flour, and also not being hydrated enough. Sufficient FAE and hydration will lead to bigger mushrooms.

Theres no nutrition in WHITE rice, idealy you should have at least 3 FAE's per hour...hydration is big key...what were your temps do you suppose....i'd save those spore prints and follow the pf tek in youtube..just type in "Let's Grow Mushrooms"
