    #21843809 - 06/22/15 10:23 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I am new to this site I am growing for the first time shiitake, oyster, white button, portobello. I had my oyster and white button grow to 3 inches and then shrivel and wilt. Growing in bulk tub method. Mycelium looks very strong, and their not fleshing to harvest. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Pics would help tons. What is your humidity? How are you achieving FAE? What are they growing in? Oysters don't do well in tub's they need a lot of FAE.

That's not nearly enough air exchange. Tubs are for actives.  They are a poor choice for the species your trying to grow.  I'd be very skeptical of any vendor who says otherwise. 

I'd take some time to look at some real grows.  Search for Straw logs, pellet tek, Mini green house, ect.

Oysters grow off logs, same with shiitake. These strains prefer to be grown in logs, poly tubes, bags, or pails of substrates. Something they can fruit out the sides of from 1/4-1/2" holes. If you can humidify the room and supply a constant fresh air exchange, preferably from outdoors or climate controlled indoor air i would just hang poly tubes or stack 5 gal buckets.

Where are your polyfill stuffed holes on the tub?

do more reading, lots.
