Morchella mushroom growth times

[Dr Brad]

Runewiki says: "exactly 195 mins" (3hrs 15 min) <----WRONG!

Runehq says: "240 mins" (4 hrs)

My experience today: 5.5 hours

[Diplomatt]

It's all relative Brad! Now your a year older, it 'seems' like 5.5 hours!!!!!

[TrixStar]

Growth times depend on whether a crop suffers from disease during its time in the ground, even when watched by farmers.

[Rissa]

Did you use super compost? As Trix said disease makes them take longer, and super compost decreases disease occurrence even when watched by farmers.

[Dr Brad]

I always use super compost -- with everything I grow

The 5.5 hours was without disease.

There's a farmer to pay at the shroom patch?

[graber10]

I don't think there is really a specific length of time it takes. It has differed for me and I always use super compost, and I never pay the farmer either. So by thinking that, it really should be the same length of time every time for me, either its dead when i check, or its alive. It suffering from disease will stay that way and wont heal itself.

i never even tried to grow them yet but this is all good info thanks

No, just a lep.

[Sloggish]

I think when you're old hard to tell time??

[Starwolf]

I find that growth times depend on exactly when you plant. Ever notice sometimes as you do a farm run, what you have just planted just advanced a phase? Since mushrooms have a longer growth phase, you might have planted it right after the newest growth phase had passed. Happens to me on my tree runs from time to time.

[Dr Brad]

Thanks, Star.

As far as I am aware, the length of time to grow is dependent primarily on when in the cycle you plant and disease.

This kind gentleman on RS.Wikia has compiled a great overview of growth cycles and the influences they have.

According to "consensus", Morchella has a 6 x 40m growth cycle, which *should* give a min growth time of 4 hours, but it sounds like you had 8 x 40m growth cycles. Logging out can cause a tick delay, as well as other mysterious mechanisms.

[Dr Brad]

A scholarly review from the kind gentleman!

Thanks for sharing.

[Zaijal]

Gotta be careful not to miss a tick as a wise friend once said ;)
