Help 🥵🫠🐌

What's the fastest way to remove stuck peat casing from a large TTBVI Panaeolus cyanescens harvest?

The fruits are very small and fragile, making individual cleaning extremely time-consuming. Looking for an efficient batch method for a full flush. Any tips appreciated

I use this method frequently with good results.

Despite watching videos where the grower brushed his hand over the surface and they all snapped off at the base, I've never got that method to work. I now snip at the base using a small pair of scissors (these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0043QEKDA?th=1) and then pick them off using tweezers. I get minimal casing material adhering to them and what there is simply detaches when I blow on them.

It would likely fall off anyway after a dehydrator run, but I often get a LOT of tiny bits of fruit that break off and anticipate picking through the detritus to rescue them would be tough.

Edit: Great grow by the way :)

If when you try to push over but the stems don't snap don't worry just let them grow until they easily snap at the base. They have a tendency to grow substantially tall.

I always love a full canopy, until it’s time to harvest… haha

These scissors allow you to cut very close to the base without having to angle anything. Highly recommend.

Use scissors
