Hey guys,
I've been testing BRF fruiting methods.
I have 2 norm terrarium set-ups using rubermaids but I found an former fishtank up in the attic final week & decided 2 see how good it would be working equally a terrarium.
The fishtank has no polyfil (oxygen substitution) holes & the hat isn't 100% airtight at all.
Anyhow, I threw in four x TAZ cakes (double stacked) & the cakes have pinned harder than whatsoever cake I have ever birthed.
I followed my normal procedure of misting & fanning out the tank iii times a solar day.
This either has something to do with the new fish-tank-terrarium setup or the only other change I tin think of is that I grinded the top subsequently of verm during the cake-making process, making it as fine as a powder & maybe this could have caused more pins from the peak of the cakes.
The downfall is that although there are more pins, the pins look smaller & thinner than normal (I'm guessing because the fishtank terrarium is not closed, therefore not belongings 100% humidity) then I have transferred the cakes to my normal set-upward for the rest of the fruiting process.
(tertiary movie - summit = TEX, mid = TAZ, Bottom = ??? Suprise, TEZ/TAZ/GT)
Let me know what you lot retrieve about this??
Which alter made these TAZ cakes pin like champions?? :)
Peace, L2G.

Looks awesome. :) I don't know why it happened, merely effort replicating the experiment and see if the same affair happens, and not in some other terrarium? :) You rarely go a ton of LARGE mushrooms.. either a few large, or more small - there is only and then much growing power in a given mass of substrate. I had sort of the same thing happen a while agone, tons of pins, but in the end they all stalled at a pre-mature just post-pin stage. (http://mycotopia.internet...g-while-fc.html) What I did differently was that I watered - semi-dunked - the tray every solar day. I believe it might take cancelled or dimmed the regular "survival of the fittest" struggle whereby some shrooms grow faster and are able to suck out the nutrition and h2o that would otherwise go to it's brothers and sisters. Anyhow, that's but speculation. :) Hope yours fare better than mine. :teeth:

PF- Professor Fanaticus' original fruiting chamber was using a fish tank aquarium. He also incorporated a "baste shield" for misting.
Given this, I don't recollect the terrarium can be used as an example for pinning in your experiment because yous have as well many variables.
First, you lot have multispore cakes, you'd demand a clone or isolate inoculated on all cakes.
2d, you'd have to have all cakes made with the aforementioned parameters, can't have different verm layers on some.
Third, you'd have to have a set of controls in each fruiting chamber, rh levels monitored and kept the same, fanning kept the same, misting kept the aforementioned, etc.
If controls are set, then logging the results volition provide which fruiting chamber worked improve for pinning.
And a high amoun of pins can outcome in smaller fruitbodies, and more aborts(possibly). Ordinarily large fruit bodies mean there were less overall mushrooms fruting on your substrate.

I retrieve the finer verm may exist responsible. I bought a very fibroid verm and decided I'd better grind it (using a pepper grinder) in order to get it to stick to the cakes during the douse & roll. The affluent that resulted subsequently that was huge - not and so many enormous mushrooms, only rather an amazing quantity of small & medium growths similar to your pics.
Successive flushes of the same cakes have been pretty disappointing pin-quantity wise. And the only difference is I didn't grind the verm. Could size/coarseness of verm possibly effect pivot formation?

I don't think the grade of vermiculite had a whole lot to do with information technology, probably more to do with the strain being a good fruiter. At most, a finer grade of vermiculite would allow less air to pass through information technology than a coarser grade, thus creating a heavier CO2 microclimate, which does encourage pin formation (kind of like covering a casing or sub with wax paper). And vermiculite generally is a good water reservoir, and that e'er helps.
