how to go about misting my 2ltr fc ??

This is my first grow as some may know but I had a cake stall that I saved and threw in a 2ltr bottle I modified. I feel as though it is too dry in there and I am not geting enough evaporation to really trigger pinning. I have been misting but too much got on the myc and it turned a little blue. Should I just mist the top of the 2ltr? I'm really wanting this too work out, I know how to maintain a SGFC but this little fc seems to be a little different.
I already have a thread about the cake and the fc so here is a link if you want to see the pics. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19492912
Any feed back is much appreciated! I'm just hopin this cake can pull through!

That's a cool setup, thanks for the post! I'm definitely going to use that. I think I over thought the 2ltr a little.
The crazy thing is, that looks exactly like my stove and counter O_o that's kinda FUCKING with me....

probably OK, I would generally say its a horrible setup but for one cake, an in-vitro thing might be ok and better than rigging a bottle. I've never tried either but cubes do pretty good in-vitro for whatever reason. FAE is pretty much king but in-vitro there's no FAE, beats me why it works but it does. If you want stealth and just one cake I would say in-vitro is the way to go.

Here's a suggestion!
What you'll need: - Pop Bottle $1.00 - Air Pump $14.99 - Tubing $2.99 - Air Check Valve $2.99 - Hygro-Meter $5.00 - $15.00 (These can get expensive so avoid digital unless you got money) - Rock-Clay $9.99 - Distilled Water $1.00 (Don't boil your own water, it's time consuming and straight annoying! (This does not include tools as most of us just find a way!)

This picture I just drew, yes it's shitty but it'll work. If you want to fan and mist less, I advise using this, but do expect the occasional drop in rH when they start fruiting, if this occurs just take the top off and spray it, it's too easy (but don't count on it being frequent).
*edit*
With this setup, you should expect humidity in the 95 - 100% region at ALL times.

 don't buy all that crap just cut the dam bottle and poke some holes in you don't even really need perlite for that matter, a single cake will provide it's own humidity in a container that small, i use to just sit mine on a damp paper towel

Yeah I appreciate the drawing and everything! But most of what I'm learning is telling me to not even waste money on air pumps and stuff. I have a sgfc and a monotub, all I need to maintain the appropriate growing conditions. but this little guy was just an experiment so I threw something together real quick.
I'm actually pretty interested to see how this in-vitro setup works! I like it because I like the idea of a bunch of these sitting around my house full of mushrooms as decoration (and function)

Cultivation is time-consuming, why would you want to revolve your life around their growth? If you automated it, you'd not only make your money back but you literally put in zero effort for better quality mushrooms that are easily more potent than manual attention.
I'm sure though with manual attention you can achieve good results but it's time-consuming and a daily effort for sure

You're too disclosed to your thoughts and opinions for me to want to be friendly with you, it's quite ignorant actually. If you'd like a good rating, learn to talk, not try and always be right; it's annoying and truth be told, women really hate it. 
Other than that, why use a term I used on you against me? Did you like "butt-hurt" so much, you use it all the time now to insult people?
I bet that butt-sweat soaks your socks.

Cronicr just got a rating he should cherish, I know that I hold negative ratings from idiots in high regard
