when i'll have enough money i'll buy this wonderfull staff from castorama. it's a chamber as the martha stewart but of course extremely cheap and in different sizes..and with the shelves!

for view the chamber that i'm talking about:

you can buy it at Castorama..this group is available in Italy, UK, Poland, France and Turkey! :tongue2:

mush: just..try!!! it depends from the size of the bags, kind of substrate etc!!! The important is the gas exchange..of course you MUST place in a heated room because i don't believe it's possibile heat that kind of chamber..

I grew Namekos in one, without an air exchange system, and it worked fairly well. I never weighed the harvest. I could fit four large wood blocks on each shelf. I had a total of eight blocks and my girlfriend and I couldnt consume the entire harvest. I also grew Hericium in the same shelf, but they came out airy. Oysters would grow great, if you can provide the air exchange.

I have bought a new greenhouse, that is made by the same manufacturer. It is essentially six such four shelf greenhouses combined with a arched roof. I haven't set it up yet, I have to wait until winter semester break. It measures six feet wide by eight feet long, IIRC.

I used a single disk fogger for humidity. Drainage can be a problem, if you arent using it in a basement.

I tried pink oysters in my mini-greenhouse.  I think the air exchange was insufficient for them as they didn't turn out well.  The second flush I left the front flap open more for air circulation, but the mushrooms started drying out soon after forming from the lower humidity.  I will succeed next time :smile:

I have the typical coolmist & ultrasonic combo.



The greenhouse started with a 4 tier shelf I had and a roll of clear 4 mil plastic. Lots of clear packing tape and about an hour later I had a greenhouse.

yeah, I've tried to grow oysters in a few dif types of growing environments, but that seems to be the problem I always see. Even with a coolmist running etc...it still doesn't seem to be enough air exchange. Fruits always start to dry out or there is too much c02.

terrariums/martha/greenhouses are good to keep them in until you get pins....once the pins show up....i just move them into a warm room with plenty of fresh air, otherwise the fruits get damaged.

With my new large walk-in greenhouse, I'll be using a a ventilation system that will distribute fresh air through out the greenhouse. I'll put up pictures when the thing is built. Unfortunately, I bought it at a big-box store and its now out of season, so no links. The greenhouse was made by the same company that makes the green tubing greenhouses sold at Big Lots.

hmm.. hmm.. and hmmmm!! well brainstorming... it looks like building my own little greenhouse seems like the best bet.. and perhaps tweaking the whole martha idea.. i have an extra fan/hepa lying around.. i wonder if i could make some sort of box to fit those, then pipe the air coming out of it into the greenhouses.. would be some construction.. wish i had a small HEPA heh :wink:

it seems it can work, but we need to figure out this air exchange thing.. thanks for the info guys
