what section do you get your humidity readings from?

Im wondeing where you guys get your readings from inside a sgfc. I had my hygro attached to the midle of my fc then moved it down resting on the perlite... which gives me a constant reading of 98% and when it is 4 inches higher it is around 84%-87%. Which reading should i go by?

Halfway up, where your caps should eventually reach. If your perlite is properly hydrated, it will be 98% at the perlite. What matters is above that, 4-5" maybe.

Actually, you were right to measure it at the perlite.  That's where the cakes sit and pin from.  It's pinning that you want 99% humidity for.  Growing mushrooms do very well in the mid 80s.

Ignore it.  They don't eat much.  They're attracted to the sweet smell of mycelium.  I no longer even bother with them in our mushroom farm.  They come and go.  If it bothers you, when you mist it should make it flutter to the substrate or perlite etc., where you can kill it if you desire.  I use a garden hose sprayer in our mushroom farm to mist, and it knocks them down.
