Moss floor bedding
    #22022506 - 07/30/15 10:54 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

For my fruiting chamber I've been thinking about adding a live moss bedding on the floor of it.

Moss doesn't require too much light but still requires the same light spectrum witch benefits mycelium growth.

The benefits that the moss will bring to the fruiting room are as follows
1.) A source of oxygen requiring less external air exchange.
2.) Moss increases RH. It has a large surface area. It is used in frog terrariums to help keep up the humidity.

Some concerns I think off the top of my head are the following.
1.) Spore build up on the moss witch leads to the moss dying and or mold forming on the spores to yet have to germinate and using them as a fuel source for the green meenie to take hold in a fruiting area.


Input on this before I go and set this up would be nice. My primary worry is mold and bringing in a source of contamination to the fruiting area.
Moss is also a plant that uses spores to reproduce but shouldn't be an issue.

I think that sounds like a pretty kickass experiment.:awesome:

I would give it a try but not get too deep in case things go south on you.

I'll be watching this thread for sure!:popcorn:

Just ordered some live moss. Going to let it grow on perlite. I will update once I get it and so on.
