my Foaf in deep space orbit sent my these pics.

He says he "spawned" 2 qts of WBS to 1 qt of verm and cased in 1/4" verm. There have been some tiny fat pins for arround 4 or 5 days, and the number is rising but they arent getting much bigger. They are really fat and funny looking. Anyone know what could be causing this? is this what happens when you grow in no gravity?

ive gotten those b4 and gave them, some more water to knock down the mycelium growin around them seemed to help but id wait for hippie to answer that one

[Lazlo]

Just keep fanning and misting of the sides of the tub or tetarrium a few times a day. Don't directly mist pins at that stage of growth. Misting pins direct at that stage could stunt or abort growth.

[sandman]

these were not misted after pins showed. They are in a greenhouse set up so they should be getting air.

Could this have anything to do with it? Never heard of spawning to straight verm before.

[jjoj]

i'm not sure, but they look pefectly normal to me.

i've had many pins that look like that and grow into nice mushrooms fine.

i do admit though, that spawning to vermiculite is a little odd. i would've added something nutritive to it, at least.

[sandman]

this is based on highflyers rez effect post in archives. it sounded kinda funky to me too, but it also sounded easy and stuff. The pins do look pretty normal its just that they arent taking of like i usually see.

On a second note, has anyone figured out what causes really hollow stems?

I THINK that it is caused by overabundance of CO2/lack of fresh air.

what's the rh ?

[sandman]

90

[Lazlo]

90's too high for casings. Works good for cakes but, 70-75% rh works better for casings IMO.

[sandman]

there isnt any condensation on the casing so i figure its not TOO high. it actually varies from arround 75-90. depending on when the humidifier is going off.

[sandman]

why god why?

There is a good pinset, but they ALL just get about 1/4" and then stop...they dont really look abortish...but they arent growing

Any one have any ideas?

[anticheffy]

the substrate is too dry possibly, I'd try injecting water into the substrate

[sandman]

thanks cheffy. My foaf injected it with arround 100-150 ccs of water.

Think that its 'too late' for these pins to mature? Maybe is hould dunk it, i mean its nothing but verm and WBS so it should hold water good...i mean its suposed to be rez effect lmao...

[anticheffy]

more water tomarrow via injection then more the day after that, get a pint or two in there, my tubs realy take alot of water, I mean alot.

those pins might be ok , I wouldnt mess with them.

I am assuming those are bus tub size casings, hard to tell by the pics.

[sandman]

kitty litter trays

thanks a bunch cheffy

[MurCurY]

my tiny EQ pin on rye...took the jar out of the incubator cause of lack of room....it grew only this single pin.
