Agree with what nate said.  However, you can use a larger grow tent no problem...I’ve grown oysters, maitake, shiitake and lions mane very well in a grow tent in my basement.  If growing oysters, you have to ensure the spore load is being exhausted outside of your living space as they can quickly cause “spore lung”, allergies to spore which have acute symptoms and even lung cancer.  Basically, all around lung issues, which can develop from breathing any fine particulate en mass and for prolonged periods of exposure.  Reishi is a fun one and as mentioned grows very well in bags with no need for air.

A wick humidifier, inkbird humidistat and bilge fans along with basic lighting and you’re good to go. 


Bilge fan for exhaust after a month or so of small oysters runs.

Large grow tents are the way to go, I plan on doing what this guy's doing sometime in the near future:

Damn I thought all the youtubers were morons this guy has some decent vids!

Check out his fuckin flowhood setup

I'd probably have put those dishes onto a rack to raise them into flow but everything else is pretty good. Nice to see I thought youtube was full of willy myco types .

Yeah but also you need hwfp to add to the coir.

This was my first shot at it and I messed it up bad but still got a couple decent ones.


You can find grow logs of people doing them in monos. I guess you don’t need hwfp if you use a ton of spawn instead but they’re really cheap.

Very cool vid p9hu7!

@ mh333 - Personally, I wouldn’t bother with coir and verm.  It’s best to sterilize your sawdust/HFP though there are teks (lipa) for not doing so if not supplementing.  However, you can really increase yields and decreases spawn required for said yields by supplementing your sawdust/hfp with bran, which will definitely require sterilization.  As such, bags are the way to go for this.  I usually run 60% H2O and 40% dry ingredients which are 20% bran 80% sawdust/hfp.  Is that clear as mud?    This is all by weight but of course you can convert it to volume once you figure out how much certain measuring vessels of everything weighs...ie, 1.5gal of water is 12lbs, scoop of hfp is x lbs, etc...

Ex:

20lbs sub:

12lbs H2O
1.6lbs Bran
6.4lbs Wood
