I cant keep the humidity above 80 and I read that 95 to 100 percent was necessary. Will it kill the yeild or potency etc?

occupy yourself with the species cubensis, where it comes from, who invented it, its properties...
then you can answer a lot of questions by yourself.
second option is to use the search engine.

If you're doing casings then 80 should be alright, a little low though. For cakes you need upper 90s or they'll dry out too fast. How and where are you growing them?

Why? That makes no sense. I suspect as most people do, you have a made in china hygrometer and it's a piece of shit.

Cubes first started appearing in nature approximately 40 years ago. Most mycologists agree that cubes were created by Danish mycologist Jorn Trier in his lab, and that the species was accidentally released to the outside world when some spores clung to his clothes. Jorn Trier is still alive today, so it is wise to contact him for growth information regarding the species. He is a very approachable guy who never turns down a person seeking information. He is also responsible for the creation of tobacco, and is an avid golfer.

Cubes, doubtful. Tobacco? Yeah right dude. Shit's been around for well over 500 years, so unless he's immortal...
CHECK YOUR FACTS!
PS. My *grandma* grew cubes in the 60s. Hmmmm doesn't fit your timeline brah.

Are you doing cakes or bulk?
You could probably get away with not taking any readings, especially on a small scale. As long as you have the temperature/lighting, misting, and fresh air exchange right, you should be fine.

If you mist a little more, and fan a little less it may help with your problem.
Are you using a digital hygrometer?
@the tobacco genie... nevermind, it's too easy.
But while you're at it, can you let us in on who invented the potato?
I heard they just started popping up within the last decade or so, correct?

Couldn't find anything on a Jorn lol. But...
In the mid-sixteenth century, Spanish priest Bernadino de Sahagun traveled throughout Mexico writing about Aztec culture. He noted a mystifying “mushroom cult.” In 1559, within his Florentine Codex, Sahagun recorded the first known account of a magic mushroom ceremony during which the participants ate small mushrooms called “teonanactl” to gain spiritual insight. They called these "teonanactl" meaning literally “Flesh of God.” The priest believed that the “mushroom cult” had been conducting such ceremonies for several thousand years.

I have 22 pf cakes chilling spaced out in a shotgun terrarium. I only have an inch and a half of perlite though and no matter how much I wet 88 is the highest it gets. I have considered dropping the terrarium in a tray to make up for the bottom holes and covering several along the sides. I am going o remove the cakes and add wetted perlite soon but I am worried.
My Humidity gauge busted because of the heat too so now I have to get another one of those.
Fruiting has pretty much been a bitch.
