i have a cake of colombian strain that the shrooms only grow about an inch to an inch and a half then the caps open up already and the veil breaks away...anybody know why they only grow so small? this cant just be the strain can it?
 cant really see but the cap is open and the veil has torn i couldnt get a clear pic from underneath and didnt wanna pick the cake up but u can see that it looks like its maturing way too soon

I have some coloms growing off one cake rite now and the cake has put out some super fucking large mushies and the other cake, different lc, that has put out mushies like yours so it could be the strain but those look like they just need some TLC and FAE.

if youre away from them alot, try drilling holes on all six sides and that will provide all the fae you need while yorue gone. still mist and fan whenever you get the chance, but it will help a lot. how is your FC set up???

You should hook up an ultrasonic humidifier. I used to mist my terrarium for humidification every 3 hours and then when I got the ultrasonic the mushies got at least 15 times larger.

besides drkobotnik who owns monsters or freaks of natures... i would kinda agree with grahm that cakes don't really fruit too many big mushrooms.. maybe a few if they are low and near the perlite but... overall..
enter the world of casing and you will never regret it

do you just mist lightly or mist directly? I mist my cakes directly very heavily at least three times a day. in fact it probably is more of a spray than a mist. mushrooms are ~90% water by weight and need lots of it to grow. availability of water can be a major limitation in size. i have definitely seen mine get smaller if i start to slack on the spraying schedule. i really haven't seen any problem with misting directly even though some people are dead set against it. not to mention tahoe's "jars don't float tek" saw success as well. i spray my casings directly too.


try giving them more water? if it's not that and it's not the FAE i really don't know what to tell you.

ya... that shroom aint even that big.. i've seen WAY bigger on this site.
and it's:
People Against Goodness And Normalcy
PAGAN.
lolz. great movie.. reason i got it was because the goat guy used to give me nightmares as a kid and i was still scared of goats so i bought the movie and watched to to confront/rationalize my fears.
good luck everyone with their grows.
and if you want bigger fruits, you're gonna need more water and more air.. usually that adds up to bigger shrooms
make sure you're dunking the cakes and spray the vermiculite on them ever so often..
tahoe was like 'directly spray' and i was like 'mist them' but directly spraying has worked out pretty well 
also.. dunking after they start to pin.. that's how i made my big daddy..

Well that's not too bad, It happened to me with temps right down in the 50s.
Then I'd be fairly sure it's water delivery or bad luck with multispore. Shrooms are 90% water and shrooms that suffer growing without enough water tend to be small and have quite dense hard stems.
What PF Tek recipe did you use? Did you dunk? How often do you mist? What is the RH in your FC?
