I've never grown those mushrooms, and different species have different needs.
My question to you is what was your set up for the "scaled up" conditions? What are the differences? Did you top fruit in a massive jar? Or use some other container? Did you control humidity differently?
It's usually an issue of air flow or humidity assuming you have a healthy culture with the right nutrients.
Yeah, scaling never really changes one parameter (that's also why I always find it interesting). I've obviously never done it in a huge glass jar and I can see many new potential issues in all the comments here. I think I've got plenty of ideas here, this is amazing community!
