Question about Terrarium
    #18785870 - 09/01/13 03:50 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Is it necessary to drill a whole bunch of small holes all over the walls of your terrarium to grow mushrooms? what is the purpose of this step? can you grow mushrooms successfully without doing this step and just fill your terrarium with wet perlite?

Yes you can grow without holes. But your results will be much better with. All the holes gives your cakes/substrate FAE-fresh air exchange.

And what you are referring to is called a shot gun fruiting chamber. I recommend you do some searching and check out the lets grow mushrooms videos.

Depends on what you are trying to grow. The purpose would be to create the perfect microclimate inside the tub.

If cakes, then yes a SGFC with 1/4" holes drilled every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides is your best bet.

If growing bulk there are better ways, like monotubs.

Sure, but success is such a vague term....one mushroom would be considered success....

If growing cakes go with a SGFC.

If doing bulk go with a monotub.

But stick with a tek, do not wander off and go your own route.

Do this for the best success.
