Therefore, it is necessary to observe the norms of moisture during incubation. But basically this cone just dries up and the mushrooms do not come out of it. You can cut the polyethylene at the site of the formation of the cone – in some cases, a weak bunch grows out of the cut. What to do if oyster mushroom primordia grow where there is no slot? Therefore, when forming blocks, compact the substrate well near the film and tap the bag with the substrate several times on the floor – this way it is better rammed. If the bag does not adhere tightly to the substrate and air pockets form there, primordia will come out in such places, even if everything is fine with the humidity in the room. When the rudiments of fruiting bodies begin to grow under the film, they quickly consume oxygen and suffocate in their own fumes. There are comfortable growth conditions – there is a small supply of oxygen and good humidity for initial development. Why does oyster mushroom grow inside the bag and not out through the holes? In the illustration on the right, you see white seals under the polyethylene with pronounced mushroom pins against the background of a well-grown substrate, that is, primordia are formed under the film far from the perforations. If the oyster mushroom does not grow from holes, this indicates that the air in the incubator was dry (40-60%) throughout the entire incubation period. On this bag, you need to make 2-3 cuts less, anyway, the nutritional value of the substrate is not enough for everyone. When making holes, consider the location of the blocks. But, after a couple of days, when the hats grow up, they will rest against neighboring splices and bags. Now the primordials do not interfere with each other. The main thing is that your ventilation can cope with the removal of CO2 and moisture from a large number of simultaneously grown oyster mushrooms. If the cuts are made at a sufficient distance, they do not interfere with the growth of the oyster mushroom and you have a well-established sales of mushrooms, this is normal. Primordia are formed simultaneously throughout the whole party This growing chamber also lacks good ventilation, but to be honest, this bag would not produce a crop even in a chamber equipped with an ideal ventilation system. Through these numerous cuts, there are at least 30 of them throughout the bag, moisture leaves the substrate.Īnd the mycelium lacks nutrition and water to form normal mushrooms. Here, a loose bunch has formed because there are too many holes. This partly depends on the strain, on temperature, a combination of other factors, but there is a significant dependence on the carbon dioxide content.īut here everything will dry up, and it’s not at all about carbon dioxide. This is enough to form a normal primordia.īut if only outside air is used, when ppm = 700-800, it is quite possible that a loose cluster will form. If you take it to a growing chamber where there is air recirculation of 40% or more, there is 950-1000 ppm of carbon dioxide. There is a large amount of carbon dioxide during incubation and this contributes to the formation of a dense large primordia with a large number of mushrooms. If the bags are transferred from the incubator to the chamber earlier, loose bunches may form. It is necessary to take out bags with a primordial roller, and preferably with signal primordials.

Read about it here It is not advisable to take blocks out of the incubator ahead of time However, these are separate, different drusen that come out of the same perforation! There are already grown mushrooms and it seems that a piece of one (whole) bunch just stopped growing. However, there are several separate bunches here, which were even formed at different times. Since the bunch is the same and grown in the same conditions, but its parts look different. When the primordia look like in the two photos below, mushroom growers say that the climate in the growing chamber has nothing to do with it. The top pins withered, while the other three continued to develop. The photo on the right shows that four independent primordia are formed from one slot. If the chamber is 12-13 degrees, and in the incubator 20-21C, in addition, the humidity in the chamber is 10-12% higher than in the incubator – the condensate is deposited on small caps and they suffocate. Will condensate settle on the primordia or not – depends on the conditions in your chamber.
