lighting is the last thing ppl should be concerned with when growing mushrooms...honestly...they don't need any kind of hydro type lookin set up...if you have a light on in your room and you open your terrarium a couple times a day they got enough...in my latest growlog I have a horse shit casing that started fruiting too early because storage bins are not 100% light proof so now I got mostly fruits coming up the sides(I had foil on top)...its that easy

EDIT: you should be concerned about the opposite not getting light to your mushrooms but keeping light away from the wrong areas like what happened to me...its my own fault tho I knew tubs were not 100% light proof but I decided to just go ahead with it anyways...and now I have a flush from the sides and primordia just starting on top...a first for me...

I like to use florescent fish tank bulbs. They screw in a normally light bulb socket and don't get hot at all. I swear by them. Under $5.00 at you local Wally world. I like them because some florescent fixtures will NOT work with timers and this is no worry with the fish tank bulb. They are also full spectrum and have alot of blue.

Many Many Advantages :wink:
