Its been 5 days now since i put my cakes in the terrarium and still no signs of pinning - in another web site i read that if the humidity of the terarium is too high pinning wont start - so is it too humid for pinning or just im being too impationt ? My terrarium is with wet perlite and 1-2cm (about 1 inch) water at the bottom of the perlite, i mist and fan 2-3 times a day, there is water droplets on the sides of the terrarium all the time.

DO NOT LET AN INCH OF WATER SIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TERRARIUM. Standing water will get you contams real fast! Get rid of the standing water. You need 5-6 inches or wet perlite on the bottom and just because you dont see pins doesnt mean things arent happening you gotta be patient ive had to wait 2 weeks before getting pins they will come when they are ready. Get rid of the standing water make sure there is 5-6 inches of perlite and keep fanning and misting.

I was just in the same boat as you. 5 days and NO pinning. Well on the 6th day (today being the 7th day in fc) pins starting popping all over the place. Patience is key, and treat your mushys with lots of love!

We have retards on this site too, but the bottom line is you want 99% humidity at the surface of the cake for pinning to start, so NO you don't have too much humidity.

Now we're getting somewhere. A properly built terrarium will NEVER have condensation on the sides. You also should NEVER have standing water in a terrarium at any time. It sounds like you didn't find the shotgun terrarium tek before you started. Build one now and move your cakes over to that. Also read the section on lighting requirements of mushrooms. RR

Can't go wrong with advice from RR.
Standing water is a no-no. And it wouldn't be standing if you had holes in all six sides of your terrarium, which is suggested.
