My "Little Planet" "Shoebox" Question - Lid On Or Off In Martha?

Hey everyone,
Happy Thursday! I have a cool little container I found at a thrift store that I thought I could grow some mushies out of. Coming up to the fruiting days I realize I'm not sure if I should go with the lid (which has five 1/4 inch holes in it stuffed with polyfil) should be left on or off after the pin set came in. I mean, the little guy is in the martha with a controller set to keep it at 95% humidity using a sonic mist from the top. There is one 2.5 inch slit in the left for FAE. There is also a regular humidifier at the bottom. Is it redundant to have the lid on my little planet if it's already in good fruiting conditions? IS my setup good for fruiting??
I believe I'm getting quite a lot of FAE in there because my humidity drops very rapidly. It drops to 92% and then it kicks on the sonic mist which pushes is back up to 95%.
Do you think it would be better to keep the top on or leave it off?

Thank you all so much for your help!

95 is hot for indoor cubes. 74 is the perfect temp I think. The hotter it is the faster they’ll grow to an extant but they can get real hollow and weak or stunted and unhappy. And bacteria and stuff like that moist hotness.
I’ve never used a Martha but if you’ve got good humidity I’d leave the lid off.

Sorry 95 is the humidity. Temperature is sticking around 69 degrees F. Sounds good thanks for the input!

On that note, 69 is pretty cold for fruiting conditions. I forgot where I read it, but someone ran a test and come to discover the best temp for fruiting was between 75 and 85. I also have seen this in one of my grows. I had my box in a space that stayed around 80 degrees F and they were growing happily. At about half full growth, around 2 inches tall, I moved them to a different space that stayed around 68-72 and growth came to a screeching hault.

Nice. Okay that's great advice. Thank you! It'll save me on air conditioning my room too.

All my grows are between 68-75f. You can peep some in my gallery. All colonize in about a week (shoe boxes at 1:1.5) knots and pins around 10-12 days and mature i
I prefer the lower 70s for nice dense fruits but still growing at normal speed
