Rotating SG chamber

Ok so i've been having a lot of progress with my cake.
I turned a cheapo kit in a bag into a nice cake in a SG chamber.
over the last week I was having problems with aborts (another thread) but now I have enough FAE and now i have a HUGE pinset with shrooms TWICE as fat as the first flush.
for my first flush I had this kit in a bag in a box that was covered on all sides with light only on top. I did it to make the shrooms grow straight, and they came out pencil straight so it worked pretty well.
Now that I have them in a clear SG theyre growing out of all the sides. almost completely horizontally.
so heres my question. Should I rotate the chamber once or twice a day so it gets more even lighting on all sides of the cake, or should I just leave it be against the window and let the shrooms do their thing. Im used to turning my plants because they too grow towards the sun and get all one sided.
Ill put pictures later.

If you turn it 90 degrees each day you can make some really cool twisty shrooms! I've done that with Reishi and they damn near tie themselves in a knot.
Light from the sides is actually better since there's four sides and only one top. Mushrooms use light as a source of energy so the more the better. You can leave them to grow towards the window or rotate the terrarium daily. It's your choice. It really won't make much difference. Crooked mushrooms work just as well as straight ones. An alternative is to place a cfl lamp on the side opposite the window so they're getting light from two directions. RR

twisted shrooms? im definately going to try that! I moved em from a north window to a south window and the curtains that cover it have a pretty bright white backing so theyre almost in a mini grow area. It seems like I'm doing something right cuz now i have shrooms popping out all over the cake!
Ill probably put pics today.
