Unexpected double tub fruiting! What to do???

I made a hpoo double tub an cased it with MGMC:Verm 50:50 about a week ago. I thought it had stalled because I couldn't see any casing layer hyphae (and heard MGMC was a bit rubbish) so I just put it in my wardrobe and forgot about it... Checked it today just out of interest and what do you know - at least 2 baby mushrooms are just sitting there! One is about 1 inch high!
Problem now is that I'm going camping for 5 nights - so what are my options? Take it with me or leave it unsupervised for 6 days!? I don't mind taking it away but I'm worried temperatures will be swinging all over the place day and night!
On the other hand - they might take a while to mature but is taking 6 days a bit to optimistic???
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

your pins will take about a week to mature, so your probbaly ok.
I would either leave it near an open window upstairs, or better still have an occilating fan come on for like half hour , four times a day, near but not pointing straight at the tub.
2 timers is what you need, one for your 12/12 light and one for the fan.
come home form camping, lovely full tub.

They will be fine, ddouble tubs are the same deal as monotubs, originaly designed as a set it and forget it deal. Just make sure the space the tubs in is getting good air circulation. and Some indirect sunlight. If you cant give that then a daylight fluerescent on a timer would be ideal.
Id give it a nice mist and fan before you leave.

pic the little guys and find a slightly cooler spot to put the tub. A drop in in temp will slightly slow the growth. So that being said your tubs should be sweet when you arrive back home, and if your worried about it while your camping eat your little guys and forget about it.

Just got back - left them for 5 nights. What a mess!
Came home to about 6 to 8 huge mushrooms (about as long as my forearm) which had turned their caps almost inside out! Cut them up to dry them but they look disgusting!
How do I start the second flush? Most of the casing layer is undisturbed...
