What i did for my first fruiting chamber that i dont see used much anymore idk why.
Basically a SGFC yet instead of holes on the bottom, there is no holes. I filled the bottom of the cage up with 4inches of perlite then filled it was 2-4inches of water and stuck 2 bubble wants in the water hooked up to a fish air pump. then put a fish tank heater in the water too, keep it at 99% RH, and any temperature i wanted. Drill holes on the lid, and everywhere you can that wont let the water leak. I then put a mesh type metal stand in there and set 20+cakes and watched the beauty unfold. I would only mist 2-4 times a day. Some days only once. I got fuzzy feet yes, but i aint complaining. It wasn't too bad. FAE is the key to SGFC

like this...at the base

Ignore the little spots on the stem, they're another evil. It's called Fuzzy Feet...and that's the technical term

Godhead1 said: I got one more question I went out and got a water bottle to spray these in some of the books I read it had instructions of mixing peroxide in with the water. Is this a good idea? If s how much should I mix in with 16 fluid oz?
Your ultrasonic is a really big, expensive misting bottle when it's cranked full, and I think it's more gentle too. 
& like Notahacker said, straight up tap water.

Yeah it was like $50 bucks but it had the control knob hopefully can learn how to use it later in a BIGGER setup LOL. I need to master the basics first though. Thank you all for all the help I really appreciate it.

Hey I went to my buddy house and saw some stuff on one of his mushies that I did not see on the other one is very skinny and kinda blue at the bottom with fuz I think it is fuzzy feet. The other two were fat and looked good they just started pinning a few days ago. My buddy said he was misting them 2-3 times a day and fanning the same amount once they pin are you still supposed to do this?

This thread has a really, really unusual amount of bad advice. I kept thinking this stuff was posted seven years ago or something.
1) SGFC or Monotub 2) Do not alter. Do not modify. Do not "improve" the design. 3) Go find the user Bodhisatta and follow the links in his signature 4) find the users FrankHorrigan and TranscendingLife - read their journals 5) pay $10 for the Lets Grow Mushrooms video series. It is worth every penny.
You will never ever need the humidifier as part of a set up. Ever. If you live in a place with very low rH you can use the humidifier to humidify your house. That's about it. Keep it the hell away from your setup. Listen to Pussyfart and cronicr. I would pretty much ignore the other posters in this thread as rude as that sounds.
-------------------- I post from my phone. Excuse the typos and autocorrects.
