Does one shroom equal a flush ,do I have to dunk again?

I have a couple of pk tek cakes in a terrarium with a heat pad underneath ,I have the p.k cakes sat on perlite and under that a big mason jars worth of fully colonised grain that never friuted ,the bits I can see still has healthy Myclium on it I thort maybe I may get some truffles but I bout it! Getting back my large p.k cake has lovely Myclium but just one random shroom(top left) does this mean I need to dunk again as it was done a week ago.the temp is allways 23c or very close.PLEASE HELP ME ,!! This is my 3rd go n the first was the only one that worked except for my random cube!ADVICE PLEASE

usually, if you see only a single mushroom to maturity, that is your flush. Wait a day or two after you pick and dunk again. Cubes don't do sclerotia

are you misting those a few times a day? I thought some of my flushes were small.. Thanks.. I feel pretty good now..lmao... Better luck next flush...

Yeh I'm keeping the perlite wet but have been afraid of getting the Myclium wet or will a real fine mist be ok? Also I've got loads of little holes in terrarium and a computer fan I turn on for five mins 3 or 4 times a day instead of fanning? Wot do ya think? Cheers for my help so far boys and or girls Smudge

the problems with of tek. Don't be afraid to mist the mycelium

Just an update. I let the shroom go and cos o wanted spores and the way it was jutting out I lay some foil where they would have fallen.it grew to just under an inch the gills were fully exposed n not one spore,so do you still think it was a flush or a random pin?theres a name for them which I can't remember but you know you get semi formed infants usually round th bottom edge of the cake?!PLS LET ME KNOW WOT YOU THINK.?also I dunked for 12 hours anyway not 24 as I only done 24 last week,also any advice one good misting as I've read never get Myclium wet etc cheers lads Smudge

that is a fully formed mushroom. It is so small you may have missed the spores. A fruiting body can fail to sporeulate if it in nearing sencience (genetic exhaustion) or if the trait is bred out of it.

I mist the cakes on most sides til they almost drip 3-4 times a day. I've had small amounts of excess water come through the bottom of my chamber I mist so much .. Don't forget to fan the cakes at least twice a day. I fan with my lid 30 sec or so after every mist.

I've never had to mist my cakes and I still got about an 1/8th per cake. I think your problem is over watering. There is enough moisture in your substrate to produce a flush or two, easily. Only dunk the cakes after you've gotten a couple flushes otherwise you're inviting unnecessary risks, imo.
