Just starting... Again
    #14593840 - 06/11/11 12:54 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Ok so I just moved into a new house, I live in the basement and my room it all concrete except the throw rugs I put down. I have a wAlk in closet that is about 3feet by 6feet. I want to make this a sterile closet first off and make it so I can have an incubating "room" that I can control the temp in. I want to use the rye berry method for a larger output (hopefully) anyone got any tips for sterilization methods and/or thermostat tip for the temp control? Please and thank you in advance:)

Can you show pics of the closet, that might help a bit?

I'd wipe the walls down with bleach to start with. Seach for mold and bugs.

Basements usually stay pretty cool, what's the temp like in there? Perhaps a space heater would be good when incubating them, then again, they also dry the air out.

I think I'd get a thermometer and hygrometer in that closet and find out what kind of conditions you'r dealing with.

I hope thats a start for you, I know the other people here will have more ideas.

You can't make a closet sterile. The tips for the thermostate control are "ambient room temperature" I'd also advise to keep the jars as high up as possible, since contamination settles to the bottom. and a rug also is not a source of sterility. When fruiting mushrooms you need lots and lots of fresh air, so a small closed is not very well suited.

Well the actual fruiting will take place in a different room. I just want them to colonize in the closet then move to a different room for the fruiting to happen. But thank you.

Other questions-

- do you think a heating pad could heat the closet? Or something that doesn't consume much energy?

- I'll get a pic up in the next couple hours. ( not a question )

- what would be a good block off to block the closet from my room, cuhz it has no doors on it?
