I've got a pin or two on one of my tiny 1/4 pint cakes made up of bulk sub / grains. I don't expect it to do anything spectacular.
It started to pin invitro so I just stuck it in with monotub, it's best I got in the way of a fc.

I'm gonna order a green house to use as an FC next month though, I found this for $40 /w shipping.

More pics!
He's looking nice and fat and rather phallic.

Quote:
The cultivated mushroom as well as the common field mushroom initially form a minute fruiting body, referred to as the pin stage because of their small size. Slightly expanded they are called buttons, once again because of the relative size and shape. Once such stages are formed, the mushroom can rapidly pull in water from its mycelium and expand, mainly by inflating preformed cells that took several days to form in the primordia.
Can anybody else think of something that 'inflates' in order to spread reproductive cells/seeds?!
Got a second pin on the other side of the tub, I was looking closely but this one came up from under the verm, sneaky bastard!

Pic is kinda blurry, but I will get better later.
The little cake in there is busy too.

Lots of primordia all over it too, I think it may end up having a ton of miniature shrooms.
I dunked 3 of those minicakes then put em into a ghetto fc. 2 quart tub with air holes. 3 layers of damp papertowel under them with some casing mix sprinkled in and everything dampened. I keep the lid slightly off with a oscillating fan in the room on low.
Also got a humidifier running to keep humidity in the room decent. RH in my house was down to 20% till I broke out the humidifiers. I'm keeping the 'shroom room at around 50-55%. Don't want mold to start growing, but don't want my tubs drying out either.

thats a sign that it may be too dry. it looks like scaling, and thats just a reaction of the mushroom cap to dry air.
scroll down to the bottom and mist!

When my bags pinned, I cut em open and gave a thorough misting on everything. It definitely seems like it was beneficial - cuz 1 of the bags I didn't mist when pinning started, and it had a smaller yield.

Sorry any of you are getting sick of looking at my single shroom, but I'm excited as hell and shroomery is my only outlet.
*edit* oops, wrong pic!.

I picked about 120 grams wet yesterday since they were about to shat spores all over the place.
Then today I picked the rest.


339 grams total wet minus a couple caps I printed.
I've got the whole cake in a tub of water with cool fresh well water slowly running over it to keep it cool.
How long should I dunk it for?
I figure I'll dunk then put it back in its house, recase/patch the spots very lightly 1/8" or so then set it back into fruiting conditions.
My other tub has a much more even pinset :-D
