SO im still new to all of this, this being my second mushroom grow. First were cakes now is spawn bag (cambodian) Ok so after the bag was fully colonized I put down a thin casing layer and put my brick in the aluminum tray. Then cased it about 1/2" and put it away. After a few days the myc was growing and patching was needed so I did. and I had did again a few days later and then again. It's now all about even but it seems the myc is still growing into my casing layer consuming more and more. I just had it at room temperature when it was first colonizing maybe 76 degrees in the shoe box. I cased and and sealed it up and put it away again for a few days, same conditions. Then I noticed the myc coming through so I patched waited a day or two (don't remember) and put into fruiting tank. The temp is 74 with lights on 72off. Last time I had my fruiting chamber in a cooler location where it was an easy 68 lights off and maybe 70/71 lights on. should I move it back there? although now that it's winter it'll drop easy to low 60's. I thought I read that cubinus species don't need a cold shock to initiate pinning?
Am i just being inpatient? it's been about 8days since it's been in the fruiting chamber but it took about 5wks to fully colonize (2lb rye berry bag) which seemed like a little longer than normal so maybe the pinning will take longer aswell..
If anyone can share some insight I'd greatly appreciate it. As of now im just going to continue to let it go and see what happens. Im wondering if maybe my RH is too high. I mean its extremeley humid in the tank my guage only reads to 99% so maybe that's the cause. I have a tropicair humidifier hooked up with an air pump that pumps fresh humid air into the tank which seemed to work for me last time.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
