Conflicted info - please can you point me in the right direction?
    #15684399 - 01/18/12 04:28 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

Hi there,

I've had a few bits of conflicting info that I hope this community can help me clear up.

I read that an incubator could help colonisation times, so I've been using a Tub-in-Tub solution. A couple of people have told me not to bother as it could in fact be a hindrance. Is the general consensus not to use an incubator? The tek I read also said to cover them so they're kept in the dark, but I've since read that they should have access to indirect sunlight through the entire colonisation period - is that correct?

I also read for that a fruiting chamber should be a dark plastic tub with a clear lid, but I've just read a few things suggesting that the tub should be completely clear on all sides?

Thanks in advance

It does not really mater.

It just depends on how complicated you want to make things.

Sounds like you have been getting some good updated info.

incubator not needed and may hinder, unless your temps are super low, in the 50's.
indirect light 12/12 daylight is beneficial.
Clear tub is fine some like to tape the sides to the height of the substrate.

No incubator - room temperature is all that's necessary (70-80).

Fruiting chamber can be anything you like as long as light can get in (at the top). Taping the sides doesn't do anything to prevent side-pinning, if that's your concern. Heck, they'll even pin on the bottom of the substrate where they don't get any light.

Colonize at normal room temperature.

Mushroom mycelium does not benefit from being in the dark, ever. . .except at night.

Use a clear terrarium.  Light from the sides is even more beneficial than light from directly above.
