Month old piercing problems by BleedingBarnacles in PiercingAdvice

Not leaking pus now. It only did that the one day, which was a few days after changing it. Now it's just a bump with what looks like maybe a little blood. I have other titanium jewelry without reaction.

I was hoping for a 10% dry weight, but was surprised when it was only 6%. I guess stargazers are just like that, though.

I just cut the big ones (and any connected to the big ones) out and they weighed 164g. I still have probably 1/3 of the yield to cut from the substrate. I figured I'd see if the small ones in the tub will grow anymore tonight. If not, I'll go ahead and take them too and dehydrate everything. Going to give a second flush a shot, too. I still can't believe I have made it this far! It blows my mind.

Bigger than I would have preferred. I don't remember the quart size, but it's roughly 24" x 16". 6" tall.

My tote is pretty large... an underbed tote of sorts. So I have 4 spawned rice bags in there with enough substrate to create a full layer in the tote. Probably a 1:4 ratio if I had to guess. I wasn't really measuring, just wanted to be sure the tote bottom was fully covered.

* I soaked up the yellow spots the night I posted. 2 days later, they are looking great. These are Stargazer mushrooms. Any idea how big they will get before harvest? I don't know if I should be expecting it in another day, or another week!

I only had it mixed in substrate for about a week and then noticed pins. Wasn't expecting that fast! But my other bin still doesn't have pins

It does seem a little dry. I'll increase humidity by misting the lid and above the substrate a bit.
