@ PsylioSynethesis..... Yes you do need holes drilled in all sides and most importantly the bottom and the lid so that air can flow through the holes and evaporate the water from the perlite into the air causing humidity in the FC...RR's SGFC works perfectly fine
If you look, someone told him to drill into the cupboard- which is overkill and completely unnecessary. He already has holes in the FC, so I clearly was not telling him to undrill the holes already there or something.
Really nice mushies by the way!

I believe the holes in the cupboard was a joke!

Yeah I took it as a joke. If I had a portable cupboard I would have ventilation holes but unfortunately the location is in a built-in wardrobe. I will have a look at increasing the size of the holes in the terrarium at the very least.

I have also used a closet (the size of a wardrobe), not to hide it just to get it out of the way. At the time I was testing an experimental self sufficient chamber and left it by itself for 2 weeks. Given the rate of gas exchange in my system, you could very easily have them in a sealed box and just fan it 20 times a day.
Point being that as long as you fan and mist around 5 times a day you don't have to go overboard on the shotgunning.

Yeah! Look at him go! What's all the white stuff? It's not mould is it? Have my shrooms been snorting cocaine?

When i used to do cakes... I dunked and rolled like you did.. I also made little bowls out of the aluminum foil.. Put a pile of really wet verm in the little "bowl" of foil.. Set the cake on the verm.. And also put a little pile of really moist verm on top of the cake as well. And dont mist everytime you fan them.
Its best to experiment a bit.. Try double ended casing w/ a cake. Dunk and roll another one. Etc so you can make comparisons and see which method works out best for you. Cheers.

Here's the latest. Should I pick the one at the bottom whose veil has broken? Should I wait until all are ready to be picked? How do I pick them anyway, just pull it or cut it with a knife?

Yep that one's ready. I just grab them at the base, twist, and pull. Make sure to clean off any verm that is stuck in the mushie.
