interesting thread, very informative,' lots of helpful hints. the 'mycro-tek' was what i originally dubbed my invitro method but the name never really seemed to catch on. the tek can now be found here- http://www.mycotopia.net/discus/messages/5/18376.html?1039265527

man I hate fungus gnats and I hate their larvae worse those skinny little bastards weasle around in your casing/substrate eating and transfering mold spores and whenever they feel like it the turn to pupa's and become new gnats. the larvae break down things they eat and cause them to decompose(rot) the bacteria/spores is then carried around on their bodies infecting everything they touch and the flies carry around the same spores bacterias on their bodies transferring them to wherever they decide to land. What a perfect name for these hated critters, they actually work hand in hand with the mold feeding off it and transferring it. I heard of some stuff called gnatrol? but I dont know exactly what it is. Did I say that I hate fungus gnats. If I didnt then let me say it again I HATE FUNGUS GNATS

Just a thought, build a seperate chamber onto your fruiting chamber, inside the chamber put a few drops of fly pheromones to attract the flies, then put an ultraviolet light inside, the light will sterilize the flies but they will continue breeding as if they werent sterilized. Before long, the flies' life cycle will end and they will have no viable offspring.

Not sure how well it will work with mushroom cultivation, but my preferred gnat control trick with my various indoor plants is "Mosquito Dunks". Those ubiquitous beige clay like donuts they sell to toss in stagnant water to kill mozzy larvae. Active ingredient is Bti toxin (the bacteria themselves are deactivated), same stuff as Gnatrol and a lot easier to find. Toss the dunk in a jug of water and let soak for 24 hours, and use the solution to murder the little gnats en masse.
Again, im not sure how well this will work with mushrooms, you would have to be careful about the delivery method, but the toxin itself is harmless to humans and shouldn't hurt the mycelium either. It is only active in the basic GI systems of certain insects, forming pores in their digestive organs.

when i still had the space for alot of stuff, i used carnivorous plants to take care of gnats. they arent that expensive and they look really cool. they actually worked very well for me.
