    I’ve got a bag which is clearly ready to fruit but after 1 week nothing is happening. If it’s  too hot (24+) can be the problem?I wwas thinking of leaving outside for the night and hoping that will trigger fruiting. What other problems have you come across when it has been as hot as it has been the last few days.

     

    Thanks as always

    Hi Jonny,

    we’ve yet to experience a bag not fruiting due to high temperatures…usually it just speeds everything up and they tend to fruit really quickly over just 5 days or so with the caps being thinner than when grown at lower temps.

    It is possible though that some strains are more sensitive to having the right temperature – I’ve definitely had this before with King Oysters for example, which often won’t fruit if it’s above 20C. Do you know anything about the strain you are using?
    You could try putting a bag in the fridge overnight if you have space to see if this will kickstart it into pinning?

    The other possibility is that moisture levels are too low in the area around the holes in the bags and so the mushrooms are holding off from pinning. Try misting around the holes a bit more if you haven’t been already. Let us know how it goes 😉
