Yep, or if you prefer the Cleanup being easy I prefer to not make a liner then just spray them clean later

The Sloth said: I'm curious why there are no liners on the shoeboxes?....
i hate making them and thb (elite shroomery attitude incoming) i think of them as a crutch for side pins. if your surface conditions are on point you do not get side pins. side pins mean your surface conditions are off. the pins prefer to grow elsewhere. I want them to grow on the surface. so i better figure out what they want that im not goving them... ya dig?

Is there a functional reason for their absence or are these containers small enough it just isn't worth the trouble?
since a shoebox is handheld you can clean it out with a paper towel and your mister. it is not worth the trouble for me. i find making liners extremely difficult for some reason. and after all. im trying to grow mushrooms. not play arts n crafts.
also you can spot contams and see if your spawn develops bacteria during fruiting.

UPDATE!!
the shoeboxes pinned the other day. i've been distracted by weed oil 1 of the boxes is not inside the mono. its just out on a shelf in my area with the lid cracked.
AA+

Mexican cube

the ???? (maz for sure. its doing that weird blobby shit, whatever. it will pin like a champ)

this is the shoebox just on the shelf. it was bacterial so i apologize for its appearance.

also they should not have that blue hue. since my methods involve a more 'open air fruiting' approach things can dry out quick if not tended too. again...that weed oil...
fruits in a few days

That AA+ is a champion pinner

i havent done straw in ages. but its looking good.
the thing with shoeboxes is the lids are not air tight at all. even snapped in place is enough fae for fruiting. so id just let it do its thing. i usually 'fruit' when the tray looks 60ish% colonized. then i open the lid. pins about a week later.


the harvest from the bacterial shoebox!

...even more mushrooms to follow.
coming up we will see maturing AA+ and mexican cubes. followed by pan cyan and pan cambo shoeboxes.

i personally like to put the shoeboxes inside a standard mono with the lid cracked.

AA+ is indeed sexy.

Anyone just fruit them with lids on?
Know one person did but is yield increasing from the extra room for the canopy?
Ideally I want to just stack shoeboxes and fruit inside
Clearly it will work but how well. And how much do you fill it to allow fruiting in the box
I always use monos but want to see how this compares
