I can't remember what they call that shiitake that does well on straw, someone else around here might know.

The shiitake strain is called "Straw". Also 75 apparently and the 3782 here
Temp is going to be your issue. CI and V Volvacea are possibles.

looks good to me. you can also tie your logs so they are hanging up too, they manage the space better that way sometimes, I think and allow better more even moisture control. not sure if I see it or not, but you might want to have a liner or something on the base of it also, to catch water condensation/run off.

I was gonna say that, you don't wanna let that thing drip all over your wood floors!

Very good point, I hadn't seen the pooling at the back of the gh, and there was some water at the bottom yesterday after prolonged humidifier use.
I went and bought clear vynil sheets to build a ghetto tray since it's too wide to fit in any container I could find. That will have to do for now.
I bought a larger ultrasonic humidifier that has a rotating head. I think it ll help as it'll be able to blow moisture upwards. But online reviews I just read said it isn't a great unit....not much choice in Australia and the shroomery is full of contradictory threads about humidifers 
hopefully for what I want to do it will be enough. I will be getting a commercial humidifier and a larger greenhouse this year anyway.
My goal is to be able to spawn and fruit 40 kg of substrate every week...hopefully by next year.
Allright thanks guys, better get started on fixing the gh first!
