Using clear wrap for mono lids?
    #27011924 - 10/30/20 11:26 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

On a 66qt tub with a white lid, maybe half the light gets thru the lid to the fruits. Is there any benefit to using clear saran or cling wrap as a lid for the fruiting stage so more light enters the tub and in a more uniform pattern?

They really don't need much light.  A lot of the shoeboxes I use have a silver/grey lid and they work fine.

What does your lighting situation look like? Just ambient lighting, or do you have supplemental lights?

Using LED bars fixed above the tubs. I had them on the sides until I noticed the shrooms growing towards the lights haha

With an opaque lid, the mushrooms will always tend to grow more sideways toward where the light is coming in. But One of Us is right, it's not a matter of them needing more light.

In general, I don't like plastic wrap for lids because moisture can condensate more easily, beading toward the center where it droops the most, and start dripping.
