Do you have a different heat system in this new house?
Awhile back someone mentioned things drying out more since they changed from baseboards to hvac.

Haha, man it's weird how that works isn't it. First getting into this it was success after success. Of course I was doing things wrong and learning as I went, but it wasn't until I focusing on the finer points of mush cult that I started having issues. I guess when you don't know what a red flag looks like you take no notice of red flags. but once you do, the anxiety starts. Lol
I think you're on the right track as far as identifying to cause of increased evaporation. It could be a simple as the get an hour of direct sunlight being up that high so the sub loses moisture slightly faster for 1 hour a day or something. Not enough to cause alarm but a cumulative affect that presents itself towards the end.

Kinda, it's the same type of heating but it's upstairs in a house now instead of in an apartment sandwiched between others.

I run unmodified tubs and the RH is like <30% in the room. There is a wall mounted Heater/AC unit like hotel rooms have. Seem my only issues are clean spawn. Had a few sneaky tams make their way into a couple subs, like 3/30. That work was done on a not so laminar FH I half ass built. My tubs are half to a whole bag of spawn with ~750g coir hydrated with 1gal hot ass tap water. Ive 35kg of coir left before I have to start using a new brand. The shop is out of Botanicare 
Are you monitoring your humidity?

On a side note, I germinated a wild print, of a local edible, I took a few months back and there's no signs of contam. I'm stunned because it certainly wasn't stored well, just folded over on a shelf

Pearl and king, yes. Pink, no. Place a clear plastic bag around the bucket for a FC, the bucket will have enough moisture in it already usually, mist if needed.
Moved the pink oysters into the cube room where temps are more suitable
Guess size and whiteness is related to cold temperature?

Hello my dear friends. Hope you and your families are safe and healthy.
I am pretty newbie in mushroom cultivation. Though I managed to build my Martha chamber and I ordered my first ready grow-kit (mazatapec strain). I was struggling to stabilize the heat and humidity, small aquarium water heater solved the problem. Looks like everything is fine if there is no contamination.
I have 3 questions. First is about the humidity level. Most of the websites write that the optimum level of humidity for growing mushroom is between 80-90. And I was searching for Mazatapec strain, only one website writes that the humidity level for maza should be between 60-80. I set my timer to 85%. Should I reduce it? What would you recommend?
And second question is for the air circulation. My custom made humidifier is pumping fresh fog therefore fresh o2 via some pc fan and hose. Should I air my tent despite of this? And if I do that when would be better? (While lights on or off)
Last question is about lighting. The website I bought the kit says several hours of light would be enough for fruiting and most of the websites says 12hours light 12 hours dark is the best way. What would you suggest?
Thank you very much in advance for your supports and helps. I am ridiculously excited as you can imagine hope all goes well. And wish you all good luck with your growings too!!

I really appreciate this, I love the way oysters taste so I've been really studying up on them.

Got a few quart jars of rye berries + coffee grounds going right now. This jar is a golden teacher clone that's just killing it right now. Pics are 48 hours apart. First pic is 48 hours after inoculation with agar. I shook this jar today, but the other two jars I have are lagging behind a bit.

Since the sub in my first run of initial mudas shrank so bad I figure side pins are gonna be the name of the game with them but of course the amount of FAE INSIDE the container between the sub and wall is going to horrid and moist so.. that'll be green central.
Anyone birthed their mudas after the first flush? I just flipped the CVG+grain loafs out onto the lids and put them upside down, 13 to a monotub so shouldn't be a problem with humidity from rows of 1 quart "cakes". Figure there's now 2" or so of breathing room for them. Way too much exposed grain for me to be comfortable though.

Oh my god, how much did you pay for those things?!?!? Who sold you all of that for a first grow?!
All you needed was a spore syringe and some rice flour a plastic tote and you could have started easily with a PF Tek.
I recommend you do some reading in the getting started section. There's a sticky post with all the information you need

I'm curious now. What immersion circulator are you using and why is it useless for food?

yup my friend mentioned this so maybe he will do it and I can offer some insight. i have certain doubt but if it does work not bad way to pasteurize.

The reason I ask, is that I have used a lot of varying brands of immersion circulators over the years for a lot of different reasons. Usually the only reason a Sous Vide machine is considered no good is if it doesn't hold temp accurately. But if that is the case, it's also no good for pasteurization.

Not to change the topic but decided to get a little crazy on this restart. Gonna be slow going at first so decided to test what I've heard\read; that the verm layer in pf jars is all that is needed to keep contams out. Lids will be removed from 2pf jars after noc'ing and left to do their thing. Small sample size and mss is never a sure thing so tams won't mean much but a lack of tams and fruition would be proof of concept. Process will be in journal and I'm sure you'll see some updates here too.
