ARE THESE PINS???

hey guys
i let my myc grow in 86 degrees in my casing just enough to see a couple patches.. i then dropped 10 degrees and etc..
its been about 6-7 days and now the mycelium has expanded and this has happened.. are these pins? some will get big.. but then dissappear.. and others will pop up.. HOW CAN I GET THEM TO GROW BIG AND TALL!!?? LOL
heres the pic.. they look like little sparkly dots!

thanks guys!

if those are the first patches of myc coming up patch them put more casing soil over them so u will have an even pinset

If they were pins, you would have had mushrooms within a day or two after they appeared.
Looks like mycelium, and you should probably put more casing soil over it.
And read hyphae's casing tek...

it looks like on left there's some white stuff too, right beside the "myc". maybe it is mycelium but to me it looks like beer foam. what does it smell like? does it bruise blue when you touch the myc?

Each tiny little bump you see is a hyphal knot, which could develop into pins.
IMHO, here is your problem:
You re-incubated (high temp) when you should have cased and placed.
IMHO when Hyphae made that pinning strat, he was using less aggressive myc, cause there is no need to re-incubate with good myc.
I have never cased and re-incubated, always cased and placed, with excellent results.
IMHO re-incubating is the biggest cause of overlay, and it looks like you are well on your way to overlay if you don't patch immediately.

It's stroma. Next time, use proper temperatures for colonization, such as the recommended room temp. An 86F temperature is at least ten degrees too warm. RR

Also low temperature like high 60's low 70's give off healthier mushrooms and final substrates

86 degrees for colinization is too warm?? i thought 86 degrees was optimal temp ?
so your saying bust up my milo and rye jars.. case them.. and put them directly in the fc?
i have been letting them set in 86 degree to rebuild the network before initiation of fruiting

Usually little tiny white bumps are hyphal knots, it looks like thats what you have but the pic is not the best.
Trust RR, he knows his shit.
Next time try just casing and placing, along side another cased and re-incubated, see which works best for your conditions and myc.
The vegetative state takes 5-10 days to stop, so there is no need IMHO to re-incubate aggressive myc, Hyphae himself has admitted this much.
Search all of his posts on incubating casing, and you will find several instances where he say it's not always the best idea to re-incubate.
86 degrees is not optimal, 86 degrees is where myc colonization speed tops out.
So yes, myc will colonize faster at 86 than 76, but so will trich.
Room temp is fine for the ENTIRE cycle, and there is never any need for temps warmer than 72, IMHO.

Mycelium will not colonize faster at 86F. That is flat out wrong. The state of growing mushrooms has progressed way past what was thought 25 years ago. Furthermore, the incorrect information presented 25 years ago said that 86F was an optimal SUBSTRATE temperature, not air temperature. Since there is up to a ten degree increase in substrate temp over air temp, based on those 25 year old figures, you should colonize at no more than 76F ambient air temperature.
However, maximum mycelium growth occurs at a substrate temperature of 80F to 82F, with a drop off in colonization speed above that. Anyway, this has all been covered to death already, so there's no need to repeat it all over again. RR

I'm glad you pointed this out RR...That 86F bullshit myth was based off a flawed agar study where heat wasn't generated in TMC = The Mushroom Cultivator...anything above 81+ increases the chances of thermophlies and slows growth down....with grains especially you should never go above 78F because your taking a chance, while the mycelium is colonizing it is advancing its Temperature Degree....Mycology has come a long way in the past 10 years...86F and Dark Myth for incubation needs to die

so basically... you can keep your colinizing jars and your fc in the same temp only to fruit the fc needs fae and light? but same air temp .. right?

This is what I actually said, "86 degrees is not optimal, 86 degrees is where myc colonization speed tops out. So yes, myc will colonize faster at 86 than 76, but so will trich. Room temp is fine for the ENTIRE cycle, and there is never any need for temps warmer than 72, IMHO."-DT
So you had to take one line out of the middle of three to make me sound wrong.
Besides, I meant myc temp, not room temp, or outside temp, or FC temp, or I would have specified.
I actually do agree, that never let your room go over 78 IMHO, but since you always say to search, I thought I would show you what searching turns up under some pretty respectable names.
So to act all high and mighty, and like everyone else to dumb, is just a crappy way to moderate. Every single mod in mush cult has quoted higher temps then you, including mushroom guru Paul Stamets!
"incorrect information presented 25 years ago said that 86F was an optimal SUBSTRATE temperature, not air temperature" -RR
That goes without saying to anyone who knows anything wouldn't you agree? I certainly meant the myc temp when I said growth slows at 86, otherwise it's meaningless.
So was I wrong when I said 86 is not optimal, but where growth speed tops out? Did it sound like I said room temp of 86?
I just think Roger, sometimes you are so threatened by anyone giving info that you jump the gun and criticize when you could be explaining the intricacies of mush cult.
Why not say, "86 myc temp means 76 room temp, since there can be 10 degrees difference, IMHO.", nice and simple without calling someone out like they are FLAT WRONG all the time.
And as far as a 10 degree increase from the sub to the air, I don't think so cause I put a therm in my sub, in my FC, and in the room the FC is in, and I have NEVER seen a difference of more then 5 degrees between the sub and the room air with a 4 inch sub.
Well here is a quote from EVERY single Mush Cult moderator disagreeing with you Roger, and it's all within 8 years, not 25.
You may well be right man, but to act like someone is stupid cause they quote 86 degrees is mean, since EVERY SINGLE MUSH CULT mod has quoted a similar temp at one time.
Quote:
84-86F is optimal incubation temps for cubies. 74-78F is optimal for fruiting. BTW myc will produce no noticeable heat, but with enough mass it will raise temps a couple of degrees.

the peak of this growth comes at a 86 degree inner core temperature. which for pf jars means about a 80-82 degree ambient air temperature. for grain jars it's about a 76-80 degree air temperature, and for bulk substrates it's a 68-75 degree air temperature.

The answer to which is better depends on the depth of substrate you are trying to incubate and if the container is on carpeting or hoisted up in the air. A large bed tends to produce quite a bit of heat.
3" or deeper and on well carpeted floor - 78 less than 3" deep and hoisted up - 88 less than 3" deep and on carpeted floor - 88 3" or deeper and hoisted up - probably 78

Yes, yes, yes, you can incubate and fruit in the same temp range for cubes, and room temp is fine, anywhere from 68 to 78, IMHO.
To initiate great pinning you need FAE, 99% Rh, and 12 hours of 6500 Kelvin color temp CFL.

IMO it looks like a contam! If not a straight out contammo then its probably the stroma condition as roger reported. Big old dead layer of death that wont put out anything to write home to mom about. Something tells me it's about to show its true colors though, and go green.

OK You can see that mostermitch makes sure to say that sub is 84-86.
Yes you want the sub at 84-86 but to get a sub to stay around 84-86 then you need a ambient temp of around 77.
Try spawn bags one day and let them sit in a coldish room then pick the bag up it will feel very warm like almost too warm for a sac of stuff.

Did you rip the stoma up? It looked like it may have gone over lay? and then you should have scratch it with a fork.
