Can the fruiting chamber be placed in a closet during the day, and kept on a desk during the night?
    #23652716 - 09/17/16 10:36 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I'm keeping my shiitake mushrooms a secret from my hungry hungry roommates.

My chamber is a clear plastic tote with 10 cakes in it (dunked and rolled and placed on their lids), perlite lining and various 1/4 inch holes cut into the chamber for air.

Say I were to keep the chamber on my desk at night a few hours before going to my room and while I sleep (to achieve 12 hours of light and some airflow), with artificial daylight on it.

Upon waking up, could I move the chamber (very gently of course) into my closet (There's no door on it) and throw a blanket over it with another empty plastic tote on top during the day while I'm gone? Or will this hinder the growth? I can't just keep it out in plain view all day, lol.

Thanks guys! I appreciate any answers!

Covering it with a blanket defeats the purpose of the holes and perlite. And would probably really help contamination thrive as well.

Maybe wait til a more appropriate time of your life for cultivation or try sclerotia producing psychedelics

I agree.  Hiding things from "roommates" is never a good thing.  If you have to do this, then just wait until you have more understanding roommates or you live alone to cultivate. 

Whethee my bins would be "okay" or not, I wouldn't move my tubs around like this just because I'm lazy and that's too much damn work.  They can sit in one spot stacked on each other in a row, usually in a single room, and fruit there till they are done.  Then the next time they get moved, it's to dump them in a compost pile or something.
