Hi there... i'm new to this mushroom growing game but i feel i've done well so far. I have six cakes in the the terrarium starting to fruit. Here are a few questions that are bugging me at this stage.
- How long should i leave a cake that is not fruiting before removing it?
- What is the best way to pick the mushrooms from the cake?
Thanks people x

Leave the cake until it fruits... If your other cakes are fruiting your conditions are right and the non-fruiting cakes should catch up soon.
I grab the fruits near the base and give it a little twist as I pull it away from the cake. It will more than likely pull a little of the myc off of the cake but it shouldn't do any major damage to the cake.

Gently pull and twist the mushroom from the bass of the stem near the cake, make sure all of the mushroom is removed.
If you have a cake that has sat for a long time without pinning, and has started to bruise, dunk it again for 24 hours to ryhdrate it. I have done this with a few cakes that didnt pin after 2 weeks.
Make sure you are giving plenty of FAE, your humidity is high enough and you have a good strong light in the daylight range.
