Weak looking fruitbodies...any reason?
    #9088909 - 10/16/08 09:31 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So I'm working on my second flush from a casing that gave an OK first flush. 

I was hoping to receive larger fruits, but after what I had read I expected the bigger fruits to come in the later flushes.  To my utter disappointment I am seeing my weak second flush fruits maturing at a smaller size than the first!?  I realize that this question was just asked by someone below but what do I need to do to my set up to get large fruits?  Temp & humidity are regulated at 80F/85%.  Light's on 12 on/12 off.  I am using small 3"x5"x3" gladware that deli meat comes in at the supermarket.  Could the small surface area be affecting my fruits? (just a frame of reference, the largest fruit in the pic is no more than three inches tall with a cap that is 1.5" in diameter)

is the pic of the first or 2nd flush?

2nd flushes will either produce many lessor shrooms, or a few large ones.. 2nd flushes will always be lessor..


Fresh air exchange matters to make sure that there is plenty.

First state the species and strain so everybody knows what's going on.


Those look nice to me man. I'd be happy with those results... many many trips in those containers. :smile:

Yea i agree with the poster right above me.. Those are some nice ones for the size of the substrate.. It all comes down to how deep the substrate is.. Of course, FAE is very important also..

Looks good to me.. The next flush i'm willing to bet, you will get 4-6 biguns.. have fun with these bro!!
