i think i have heard a few poepel say that it does. regardless of whether it speeds colonization or not, light is beneficial at all stages of growth. mushrooms have a circadian similar to humans.

this is why we dont colonize in total darkness anymore. that was silly

why have so many people, lately, been thinking they need a flow hood to do agar work?

OP, SAB works perfectly fine for agar work, and everything else.





really?... i tried and failed. it was a miserably hard xperience anyway. i felt like a moon man working with nuclear waste tied down to a table sweating my hands off. i am trying to build a flow box when my filter gets here, but im still waiting

It's harder to use a FH. If you can't get it down in a SAB a FH isn't going to be of any help.

If the SAB was too confined you just didn't build it big and wide enough for yourself

This is correct.  You want low level light during colonization. 

I've repeated this experiment a few thousand times now.  The colonizing bags in our mushroom farm near the north facing window grow at least 1/3 faster than those in the areas where it's darker.  Also, substrates colonizing near the isle where light penetrates colonize faster.

With most species you can inoculate agar and then stack two dishes on top of each other.  The top one will nearly always colonize faster than the bottom one.

What you don't want is very bright light during colonization which not only slows down growth but also could lead to premature fruiting.

hmm im so glad you posted that RR quote, Mad! i wonder if maybe these last 12 jars i did with my GT clone all started pinning in-vitro so early because they had too much direct light..

the light isnt literally directly on them, but i would say its probably more than what you would want when you hear "indirect/ambient light".

going to need to get them a little farther away.
