How to Determine If Mushroom Sticks Mycelium Is Fully Mature?

  1. Color Change
    Mature mushroom sticks typically show a brownish color with moderate thickness, a lustrous sheen, and elasticity. This color change is a good indicator of the mycelium's maturity.
  2. Weight
    During the maturation process, the mycelium decomposes and accumulates nutrients, causing the weight of the fungus bag to decrease by around 20%. If the mushroom bag feels unusually heavy and retains excess moisture, this may suggest that the mycelium is immature, which can hinder fruiting.
  3. Presence of "Message Mushrooms"
    "Message mushrooms" may appear naturally when the conditions—such as temperature, light, humidity, and airflow—are favorable for mature mycelium. The spontaneous appearance of these mushrooms indicates that the mycelium is fully mature and ready for fruiting.
  4. Uniform pH Levels
    In a fully mature mushroom stick, the pH value should be consistent throughout the bag. If the pH varies significantly in different parts of the substrate, it may signal that the mycelium has not yet fully matured.

These signs are crucial for determining when mushroom mycelium is fully mature and ready for fruiting.
