Help - Mushrooms stay too small

Hi there,
I'm cultivating a Growing box B+. Setting is the same as last time, but last time they were growing through the roof!
My setting:
- Growing box with air slits - B+ - Its summer, av temperature in room is 28°C - I'm misting every day or every two day
- Some days ago they had direct sunlight for two days a few hours, I've corrected that after that. Fresh Air is circulating via a open window next to them.
- Only difference to last time is the temperature being higher approx 6°C
Any ideas? Perhaps it's too dry or too wet? =(

Could be that, genetics, or the fact that u bought a kit.....all are very possible variables.....
"Grow box with air slits" sounds like it could also be the problem.....

What exactly do you mean, too dry or too wet?

Since it's the exact same setting and grow box and the air slits were the solution for miserable grow last time, they're probably not the problem.

Save time by investing time. Learn agar and build monotubs in the short term, reap long term benefits. Grow kits are like the tourist gift shop trinket of the cultivation world.

Hehe, I am aware of that. But for my limited needs I reckon that this is sufficient in its amount I can harvest, and you have to admint, it is a looot easier to start growing ^^

Not sure what u mean by this.....sure kits are easier than doing it yourself....in the same way just add water pancake mix is easier than mixing it all yourself.....but the end product is way different....

I mean, that a needs a lot more preparation, tools, time and money to get started, and after that a lot more effort. I am sure, that the product and amount will be better/more if doint it right. But I think the effort doesn't balance the little amount I need. Thus a growing kit is a good compromise.
I have contacted their customer service. If anybody is interested or future board searchers.
The caps were dried out. Probably too high av temperature and too less misting. They would advise to harvest, soak it again and start over with caution.
