As a beginner though, I have to ask; surely there is a way to optimise the conditions under which mushrooms fruit? Obviously they need fresh air and humidity, but there's always a danger of adding too little or too much (of anything, really).

I've heard different discussions about hole size to make sure that the amount of water you add (misting, for instance) doesn't evaporate too quickly, while at the same time allowing enough FAE to give the mushrooms plenty of life.

Maybe for you guys it's obvious, but I've had some good and bad flushes and (at least in my experience) the shrooms can be pretty sensitive to certain conditions. I've made the mistake of choking in the past, so that's something I'll never do again, but what's the best amount of airflow for a tub, for instance? And misting? And, out of curiousity, are these pro humidifier kits worth it or overkill?

Beef, I don't get around the board as much as I used to (so I just saw this), but that OP is pretty spot on.

There's a lot of overthinking with some of this stuff. I used to do it.

in our climate, cow shit turns into a good bit of fire kindling in a couple weeks.

Theres so many factors of climate that will effect the way a tub willl fruit, so we have to do our best to give people the best shot we can before they ultimately teach themselves how to fruit.  Its not something that is easily taught by way of written word, so i do my best to use a lot of words to basically say "use your best judgement". 

"Keep it sparkly"  is my preferred abbreviation over LITFA.  Ive never been able to fully leave a tub alone.  The damn lids always wanna rain and mat my surface so i gotta get the water off once in a while. 

Still waiting for someone to invent a rainless lid.
