Pink Oyster Fruiting Troubles

Trying my first attempt at Pink Oysters and I'm using the bucket technique. Everything has been peachy so far until I've tried fruiting. I'm finding it impossible to balance the FAE with the humidity. I've tried having a bag over them and keeping that moist and that works pretty well until the mushrooms stall out due to lack of FAE. If I get rid of the bags, they will dry out even when misting every couple hours and I'm not even in a dry climate.
Anyone have a technique that will balance this? How do I keep these things super humid without sacrificing the FAE?

Try a cheap grow tent from the dollar store or Amazon and on each shelf put an incontinence pad that's saturated in water. Open the tent once or twice a day and this should give you the FAE you require.

I tried growing outside in hot greenhouse on concrete and the mycelium was dying. Moved inside in 20°C now mycelium rapidly growing, bag is cool to touch. I noticed putting millet spawn from shop into 7 deg fridge turns mycelium white quickly.
Tho bag instructions say do not put in fridge under 7degC will kill. Conclusion, cooler temps for Pink Oys for spawning stage. Then move to hotter humid spot to fruit!
few months ago I threw 4 month expired millet dpawn from shop, 15g in raised bed in hot spit in garden and surprisex it grew

Hi have you had success yet? I remembered what I did to force fruit a week distrurbing the surface. I scraped wi my oysters, Kings and Blues with a plastic fork. A week later popped up one tiny mushroom then more
My pinks suddenly pinned today and one poked thru a hole. It seems they have their own timetable and grow when thry feel like it. Its been 20 deg celsius indoors and the pink oysters are cold as fridge temperature.

Hi Hope it's ok to jump in here with a similar question on pink oyster fruiting. I have a kit that came precolonized in a bag. I made a X shaped cut as instructed by the vendor and kept spraying and it fruited. After the first flush, though, it has stopped and never flushed again. It's been more than a month already and nothing. Should I dunk it to fruit again? Is there something else I could do?

I do believe it's done my friend. Block probably dried out too much. You can try dunking it since you have nothing to lose. Maybe youll get lucky

Thanks for the reply! Indeed it was done. I tried dunking but soon after the dunk it got contaminated with trichoderma. It was fun while it lasted. I’ll try making one from spawn now.
