Sucks you spent money on that aquarium heater... since it's a paperweight basically. Maybe invest in a fish tank and some cichlids?

Room temperature is best with ambient light. Ditch the heater

ok guys , here are a few pics of my setup and my mecilum , what do you guys think ? best regards






it seems like i have execive condensation on the sides of the containers where the micelelium is forming , is this normal ? will it harm my grow ? if its harmful how do i make it normal ? i was told i can remove the foil from the jars , but i think its helping protect from contaminations , im afraid one thin layer of dry vermiculite is not enough to protect from airborne contaminations feel free to share your thoughts <3

You need holes for gas exchange in that foil, if you have lids under that foil then take the foil off. Get them out of that box they need ambient light as well as GE. Yep a little moisture is normal

a watched jar will never colonize!!!
the only issue with the grow.. so far is the 'incubation'. this set up fails..
 lame tit incubator/bacterial farm. in my bedroom tying to be stealth
set up is #1 good time(chinese take out voice)
 my china hutch in the kitchen. big picture window sliding glass door thing.
also im curious about your jar/container size.. why so small? and ditch the foil.

What proof do you need its a fact, do your own experiment stick a jar in the ambient light see what happens. My first grow went in a dark warm cupboard now always in ambient light the difference is well night and day pardon the pun. Dark slow shitty growth imeQuote:

Why do you think you need a box?

you could!! better than in the dark with a heatbomb.
just leave them out somewhere random if possible. the less 'human interference' the better. its a fungus. dont lock it away. it need to live, breathe, grow, and a colonizing substrate produces a couple degrees of heat. my house is always at 74f. i bet inside my jars is about 80f. per RR growth drops off sharply after 81-82

seems like im missing alot of the basics , not sure what is going on haha , i tought i need to keep the jars inside somthing to protect them from contaminations , is the layer of vermiculite enough to protect them from airborne contaminations ? oh and by the way , i know my jars look prety small , but they are 0.25Litters each , that is about half pint jar i think so at least
some one point me in the right direction to improve my incubation please <3

Yep the dry verm does that job as long as you aren't picking them up and disturbing it. They don't need incubation as in warm box just sit them somewhere they won't be bothered and get ambient light not glaring sun light, and you won't go far wrong
