  • In today’s mycology quickie we talk about the natural conditions for fungi to fruit, co2 and how to manage and force a great pinset. We also cover why your mushrooms are all stems and no caps

    Hundreds of videos watched on mycology, and this is the first I have seen that explains the "why" of all of this. The facts presented here have literally made months of learning all click together in one video.
    Seriously, THANK YOU. Liked and subbed.

    • @Rodriastral666
      @Rodriastral666 10 месяцев назад

      ​@@carlosjurado2012This was 2 months ago and I have success with the pinset and actually my very first flushes and harvesting. This CO2 buildup worked. I did covered my cake with a sanitized (with alcohol) bag, this will work now as a fruiting chamber, kinda like a "bottle tek" i did some holes on it and covered them with micropore tape, I kinda tried to put the bag's highest point the closer to the surface of the cake, fixed it with a elastic band. Also This did not instantly made the cake to pin, I did my research about cold shocking for pins and on every forum I found that it does nothing for P. Cubensis but I decided to give it a try. I cold shocked by the night (about 9 hours) and then put it at ambient temperature (my room) so it did not had incubation temperature any more. After a few days I started giving fresh air exchange and raised that low level bag and stretched the height of the bag significantly up the cake covered, removed the tape so it doesn't build so much CO2 also I readed that this way now it has more FAE circulation, the holes were very small. It did started pinning and fruited very well, my little cocacola-bottle cakes fruited for almost a month, 1:1 ratio with just brown rice spawn and simple coir-only, microwave pasteurized bulk substrate. My conclusion is that CO2 buildup setup does not have to be that extreme, it might be a factor that triggers pinning but in conjunction with a small cold shock, fae, fruiting temperature (lower, about 24°C) and CO2 buildup it has a higher chance to start pinning quicker.

  • @Hawkeye_360
    @Hawkeye_360 4 месяца назад

    What a great video. Now everything makes complete sense. Using the knowledge you explained, im thinking to stick a layer of bubble wrap 3/4 of the way up the tub with a few small bubble holes in. That way the mushrooms will produce decent stems and reach the size im looking for then will remove the bubble wrap once reached. The reason for that is the stems are what weigh the most and for "active" mushrooms they contain the most "sybin". What do you think?. Thank you so much for explaining and making this fab vid.

  • @flapjackson6077
    @flapjackson6077 3 года назад

    Dude, that was very interesting. I was unaware of the delicate balance of CO2 and O2 in the fruiting environment. I reckon this points to the need to expose the primordium to oxygen, while allowing CO2 to exist in the top organic layer.

  • @CMZneu
    @CMZneu Год назад +2

    I'm confused, i grow mostly gourmet mushrooms so not really the same thing but mushrooms don't really want a high CO2 environment to pin, if i don't cut the bag of oyster mushrooms when in the fruiting room they won't pin nearly as fast, they will still eventually pin in the bag because they are running out of food and have no other option. What i'm trying to say is they don't want high CO2 to pin but the thing is they also need moisture and if you have great FAE in a monotube you are generally drying out the sub(unless you have a humidifier but that causes problems, contam, etc).
    So in a monotub you don't really want high CO2, you want high humidity and you can't do that without high CO2 because of how mono tubs work but as long as there is enough moisture given the choice the mushrooms will try to pin in and area of as low CO2 as possible and then grow longer if the FAE isn't to it's liking.

    • @AlessandroPrescendi
      @AlessandroPrescendi 5 месяцев назад

      That's because they just need a bit of CO2, around for best pinning 500-1000ppm. Inside the bag is 10.000-20.000ppm for colonization. Normal air quality is around 400ppm for CO2, so they can manage to pin. But they could pin more, faster and better with just a bit higher CO2
