Last fall after I removed about 1300+ sf of grass, I had a soil test done
after
tilled it about 5 times and had them interpreted. I also brought in 10 yards
f mushroom compost this spring and added the soil amendments from the soil
test
analysis. I thought I was doing everything ok. One of my plants is from the
llinois state record for last year.

Debbie,
ometimes these plants are sterile and just don't produce...I had another one
his year...plus others I've had will grow them to about basketball size and
hen they abort. I have other friends who have seen similar things...probably
hy I grow 10 plants...last year..had just 4 left after it was all said and
one with a max of 7 one year...I think Kevin Marsh once told me he started
ith 12 and ended up with 3. Just the luck of the draw.
t for sure can also be environmental as Ray is suggesting...heat or wet on
he females can stop them from developing not enough calcium, etc, etc.
would have a soil sample is done for next year(especially if you didn't this
ear)... Sorry about your season...hopefully something changes.
