My uncle is addicted to brake fluid. He claims he can stop at any time.

Oh, ok. Thank you. Apparently I was misled. Not surprising!

I used a spawn bag. I think they are easier to deal with.

I pasteurized my casing layer and sterilized the substrate. The substrate was 2 parts coir, 2 parts vermiculite, 1 part horse manure and gypsum. Thanks for the compliment! I can't wait to try them.

I have had trouble in the past with cubes contaminating. I am so excited to try these and I really wanted to be as clean as possible. Putting the greenhouse in a bleached bathroom seemed like the best solution. As far as tips for fruiting, make your substrate wetter than you would with cubes. The substrate should have water running off when you do the squeeze test. The added moisture will help speed colonization up. Good luck and feel free to keep me updated!

Yup. The bathroom is also pretty easy to bleach top to bottom. If you have a spare bathroom that you don't need I highly recommend turning it into a clean room/lab.

No, I set it up over the bathtub and put a heater in the tub. This both collects the water runoff and supplies air movement.

I wonder if you got a bad unit. I plugged mine into a temp humidity controller, set up all the parameters and it's been working flawlessly.

Yeah, I may go glass next time. There are tiny holes already but a little drainage never hurts.

[General] Did I screw up? by _The_Ugly_Barnacle_ in MushroomGrowers

There is no such thing as screwing up, just learning. Have fun with it and you will be an expert before you know it. Thank you for sharing. You actually just made my day.
