After my first unsuccesful attempt,all my cakes were contaminated by some kind of gray contamn. I got my new spores,the colonozation went well , with no signs of contamns.Now I'm waiting for pins:D Is everything alright? These are the cakes after 2 and a half days.



Thank you for your responses.

I suggest you make a proper SGFC w/ a clear tote w/ clear lid. Holes on all 6 sides. 5" of perlite & the tub raised about 3" off any table.

yeah bro, thats a fancy strange FC you have there
is that set up like a PMP or is that floating perlite in the bottom of a monotub?
youre killing your evaporation and humidity if that perlite is just sitting in water
and youre also giving millions of micro organisms a warm bath to colonize in
definitely reconsider your FC, youve probably got way too much stale air in there, and little to no evaporation.

I did my fruiting chamber as in the lets grow mushrooms documentary... Except my chamber lid is not transparent,is that a problem that i must change,or can i succes like this? The perlite is just pre soaked in water and drained,it is not floating. I can probably drill more holes,should i? Thank you for your responses:)

Clear lids are ideal. Stay away from blue tinted totes as they don't allow the light through properly.
How's your RH? I mean if you're good, you're good. You'll def, need to fan the shit outta it, maybe take the poly outta some of the holes.
Holes on the bottom of the tote allow for air to pass up & through the perlite, which allows for the RH to increase & provide a small amount of FAE.

yeah dude im not seeing the tons of tiny 1/4" holes on all sides and bottom
i think you have a hybrid mono/shotgun
which a hybrid would work, if it were hybridized the right way 
youve negated airflow thru the bottom, which means the water on your perlite is VERY VERY slowly evaporating
youve got holes directly in top of the FC, which isnt necessarily needed, but thats preference over functionality.

Thank you for your responses. That blue stuff is a filter watte so the air entering is filtered,I was told so on a Croatian forum,didn't know it was a mistake. Now removed the watte, drilled some more holes on the sides + on the bottom,and I raised the chamber on some bricks . The lid is still green,I will try to find a transparent substitute. Is it now okay? Should I mist every day?

mist to replace the moisture lost due to maintaining humidity and fruitbody production.
aka mist when needed.

keep misting & fanning. MS man, it's a crap shoot.

Should I pick all of them at the same time? Because I think that the big one will be opened before the others.
