Apparently you didn't read the part about misting to make up for the water lost to evaporation.  Cakes should never be allowed to dry out in a terrarium.

Sorry, I don't mean to be annoying, but I really was misting pretty regularly, a handful of times a day. And I never misted that smaller FC, the one that contaminated cakes went to and flourished.

So I got a timer, and it is set to be on for 15 minutes every 2 hours. By the way, it is a steam humidifier, not a cool mist one.

:huxleyfacepalm:
since you'll be buying a new one, i suggest an ultrasonic.
steam humidifiers arent ideal for this application.

Sorry, I'm still pretty confused about a couple things:

If this isn't the right thing to do, then why has it been giving me good results quickly?

If I'm supposed to mist several times a day anyway, what is the harm in having a humidifier going for 15 minute spurts every few hours?

Why is a steam humidifier worse than a cool mist one? Wouldn't the heat be better (because my ambient temperature is far too low)?


I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but I just want to learn the reasoning behind this stuff so I can do it right, but also get results.

Thanks guys!

Those are some nicely snapped pictures - photog skill! ++

Re-Read RR's symposium on the modification of SGFC's before you mangle another perfectly good humidifier.

those are good points. in the end, results are the bottom line.
i'm interested to see how it works out.
but, i really think this method will over-correct the problem and in a week it wont be working so well anymore.
keep us posted!

Hey, thanks. They would be a bit better if I could actually see the shot while I was taking the pictures...

Anyway, where is the thing on modifying SGFC's? I watched the original in the mushroom videos but that's all.

I have already grown some mushrooms, but I want those huge batches from cakes that I always see pictures of! Right now I'm just getting dinky results. Any advice?

Completely off-topic and I do apoligise.

In regards to the OP, have you got a link for your analogue hygrometer as I did have a link and cant find it now and need a reliable hygrometer and I know that your brand is just that.

I had a humidifier in the closet my FC was in and I thought that was the best... Until I forgot to add more water to the humidifier all night and day and my shrooms turned into massive meaty bastards over that period. I think the humidifying like that doesnt let them get a chance to evaporate some of that water.
