Hi,

We have been struggling with Lion's mane finishing. They start out great grow quite large then start to soften in the middle and seem to start to rot or abort.  Please explain what is causing this so it can be avoided in the future. 

Thanks

Lion’s Mane

My lions mane was growing nicely. Picture 1. 

Some of the blocks started to have some slightly yellow softer spots. Pictures 2-3. 

What  causes this and how do I avoid in the future?

Hi I just finished a round of blue Oysters. The mushrooms turned out pretty nice but at the bases there seems to be a bunch of aborting pins. What causes this? See attached pictures. The picture with the glove is an example of the aborting  pin. Thanks
