I'm going to birth two more jars this weekend I think.. the others I'll let go just a little longer just to compair. my pint jars are almost done.. started them on the 1st..one jar I mixed used coffee grounds into just for the fuck of it .. these jars were steamed in a pot instead of being pressure cooked( didn't have one yet)1023172052a.jpg

this last one is with the coffee, that's why the micropore tape looks dirty.. this one was colonizing fast then slowed down.1023172053.jpg
not as white looking as the others ..

those jars you have pictured are looking great btw. They look really vigorous

city farmers market mushrooms would be a cool weekend gig. thinking about spawn bags/jars? bulk? i remember people saying that they would blend up their dry straw in a food processor and make BRF style spawn bags. I think that was for cyanescens though.

thank you.. Its good hearing my jars look on par..I was wondering what would you say is the average time for pin sets to start after birthing..? I'm at day 8 on the oldest cake and 5 days on the other two cakes.. they all look like they are knoting up but no pins yet..

Are thesevthe ones you didn't case? Usually a week to two. It definitely varies on how much fanning and misting I do. Warmer temps of 78-85F and frequently fanning misting pins best. Like 7 times a day and the dialing it back after a week

I read a week or less depending on variety ... I'm fanning anywhere from four to eight times a day.. should I build a sgfc or just keep doing what I'm doing and chill and wait. and yeah there's no casing on these..

And lose the corner?? Or let the corner finish and hope the pin don't go far?? Its Def at 98 percent and been a solid 6 weeks.... Im sure it's solid through ..just missed the corner ...... Any input??

Lose the corner and rinse the cake under tap water, case in verm, proceed to fruit. You don't want a rotten pin when birthing.
