I read about it somewhere... is it a good idea to put a little plant in the terrarium to provide oxygen and clean it from the bad stuff in the air (dont know the name in english sorryyyyy). If that is the case, which plant should i use, that is small enough? Thanks for your reply, i love this forum! Alex

It is a waste of space inside fruiting chamber I did this for a while with a small tray of rye grass, the plants dont do well in that climate also, what the plants are growing in might invite contams also, plants are not sterile because they dont need to be.

i was thinking of putting a plant in there too. im sure there are plants that grow in warm humid environs. that would help air exchange and all that too...

As said, the plants will grow mold(powdery mildew), which will spread to your mushroom medium. It's a good idea, but bad application. The plants won't grow well in the high humidity environment we use. In addition, critters in the plant's soil will just love the pasteurized or sterilized substrate you've provided them.
A few growers have been successful growing outside of the greenhouse or terrarium in a pot of grass. Below is Mexicana A fruiting from a casing that also has rye grass growing. As expected, the grass got moldy a day or two after the below picture was taken. RR

while it would be interesting to see plants and mushrooms growing in harmony as mentioned previously that there arent that many varierty of plant that will apreciate the low light high humidity enviroment that our mushrooms love and thrive in. now of course it could be conducted wit the proper plant selection. but this stiill presents us with the soil contamination issues. now you cant verry well sterilise soil without killin you plants. the simple solution to this is a small hydroponic bubbler which is quite sterile when prepaired properly. in my finaly thought id say its more a novelty idea then a well working one but these kind of hobbies are about exparimentation. best of luck and most important have fun!
