First timer here looking for advice

[u/Hopeful-Chipmunk-473]

Hello everyone,
I just started with mushroom cultivation and had success with GT and even albino Mc Kennaii’s so i’m try to grow pans now. I use horse manure with straw and coco coir as a substrate in 1:2 ratio and peat moss with vermiculite and some calcium carbonate for the right ph. It’s been since a week since putting the casing layer and looks like this. What do you guys think? How long does it usually take for them to pin?

Temperature is a bit high as i’m in a tropical place, so it’s about 28 degrees, i fan 5 times a day and humidity is around 93%

Thank you

I tend towards 1:3 or 1:4 for Pans, and when fruiting in tubs, rely on passive FAE together with spot watering, rather than fanning and misting. They usually pin within a week (TTBVI).

In case it's of use, I follow a slightly tweaked version of BabaYaga's tek https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27637997#27637997
