I've checked the board and the archives and for some reason, can't find an exact answer. After full colinization, how many hours of light do mushrooms need to initiate pinning and start the growing process? |

from under one second to hours and hours a day. They will begin pinning as soon as the humidity, temperature and light conditions are correct. But basically, if you can tell from seeing them that its time to begin pinning, thats enough light to begin pinning. |

and exposure to light need not necessarily wait until after full colonization. cakes and various invitro methods can and should begin exposure early during colonization, to ensure a prompt pinset when the time is ripe. |
