Fruiting

Hi all. Just cased 1 jar like a week ago. Check the pic, i just put it on fruiting. It is okay? I'm using old aquarium with perlite on bottom, i spray water on sides of aquarium. But as you can see, myc is in bucket, so i need to control CO2 level. I just do fan it with newspaper or something liek that, open aquarium, and wave newspaper to make airflow .

You need constant fresh air exchange to have a healthy grow. Not just waving it out with a newspaper.
Imagine you had to live in there, they are suffocating. Look up sgfc (shot gun fruiting chamber).
Or if you just have the one, consider just opening a sandwich ziplock bag and setting it over top the container, if there is some air passage down the side of the container between the bag the heat of the air will circulate/exchange enough to fruit.
Misting isn't nessecary but rarely more often than not: and the substrate gets misted directly, not the walls.
If you plan on doing more grows just build a proper fruiting chamber (fc) like a monotub or shot gun fruiting chamber.

SGFC all the way. I wouldn't even mess with using a bag of any sort. That's just my advice.

The problem with bags is they're actually really good if you know what they need, and can poke the holes needed. A sgfc is best for learning because it is preset to show exactly what healthy mushrooms should look like after a few grows. Bags require someone who knows what they should look like to adjust the chamber accordingly.
TL;dr until you know exactly how to care for them, stay away from bags.

Drill holes in the bucket and stuff them with poly, than put stylish shower cap on top.

If you like fish or reptiles those are good options for aquariums

mushrooms want all the air in the chamber to be exchanged at least 3-5 times pr hour. since you cant fan 130 times a day we drill holes in the fruiting chamber so it happens automatically.
aquariums are very old tech, no fresh air means you shouldn't mist your fruits etc. yes it works, but not nearly as well as SGFC (shot gun fruiting chamber)

in what part of the world are plastic boxes more expensive than glass aquariums?? I pay 10$ for a 65litre box with lid. small aquariums are 100$ easily

For cakes 1 tub is all you need like space said. So cheap for a good sized tub. Must be drilled with 1/4" holes 2 inches apart in a grid-like fashion on all 4 sides AND TOP AND BOTTOM. Perlite 4 inches high and misted down good once a day.
These chambers are a bit small and packed tight, and the mushrooms are showing signs of lacking some fae, but we can all agree that it doesn't really matter for a personal use cultivator. Also proves it is a great chamber to be able to still give decent conditions to things so tightly packed.
