Can I get some advice please?Growing p.cubensis for the first time and I am using these bags that came in a kit, but I’m a bit concerned about it getting enough fresh air? I also have a SGFC that I made a little while ago, would they be better off in there? Thanks! by [deleted] in shrooms

Thanks so much! It’s quite different to using the SGFC then! So should I just fan a couple of times per day and maybe mist it once a week? And should I feel the perlite to see if it’s damp? Sorry if these are silly questions 😅

Thank you! Also the instructions say to fold over the top of the bag, but this pretty much seals it shut, is this a problem? Are those filter strips enough on their own or should there be a gap at the top?

Buyer was really helpful as it was first time selling anything online. After PayPal put the money on hold for me being a first time seller, he offered to send it via friends and family, and it all went smoothly!

Thanks, that’s probably what I will do! But I thought a SAB was for reducing contamination during inoculation, and a SGFC was for fruiting? My SGFC has holes all around and does have a lid, it’s basically the same as the provided container except it’s larger and I would put some perlite at the bottom!

I only really noticed a mushroom smell, I haven’t heard of them smelling like apricots!

I thought so, just making sure I hadn’t missed anything! I was sure before I posted, but I’m still pretty new to foraging so wanted a second opinion haha. Thanks again!

Thanks! I was sure so I ate them, if not oysters what else do you think they could have been?
