Nice, then can you remove from the fridge for subsequent flushes?

I think I'll pick one of those bags and see if it will pin again after a dunk. The older one on the right is from late September, so if it pins again we know those other flushes I got weren't a fluke.

Ha, that brings up another question - if you are going to be out of town for a flush, can you pause growth by placing in the fridge then return to fruiting temp? I think probably so.

Don't freeze them, though. The water crystallizing will damage the mycelium for sure, down to the cellular level. Cells have water in them, so when they freeze, the water expands, and POP! The cell is destroyed.

Condensation looks good.
BTW I picked the fridge bags and one pinning beautifully again. The other looks like it's going to any minute.

So with the bag, all of the mushrooms are growing at different speeds. Do I continue harvesting until it stops producing before dunking? Or pick everything at once and dunk with pins still on it?
If there are a few that are much faster than the rest I would pick those and let the rest mature to be picked all at once.
It's really a matter of preference, though. I myself don't mind leaving the fast ones to open up while the others mature, but that's just me.

Picked! PESH grow so much faster than the few other strains I’m trying. Ecuador is going at a snail’s pace.

In a monotub, does there need to be a casing layer? If so, is it just vermiculite? I’m hoping 2-3 qts spawn and 3-4lbs substrate is enough for a 66-qt tub!
Not for cubes, but you can use one. They can help protect the myc and keep moisture in the sub IMO. I have only ever used 75/25% verm/coir for my casings so far, and I case the sub 4-6 days after spawning to bulk. JKDeth(a member here) advised me that if the casing layer gets colonized, to carefully break up ONLY the casing layer with a fork where any myc starts showing through, and patch it, but it still colonizes more after doing that. If your grow area has dry air from a heater or furnace running then a casing seems smart to keep the sub moist, that's what I've gathered.

Is it better to cut them rather than yank them out?
Also made another FC, golden teacher and huatla.

Damn, nice job. I have heard of people cutting, but it seems like the stumps might rot.
