pure oxygen running slowly into terrarium.. good idea or bad?

So I have a small oxygen tank. I have rubber tubing going to a bubbler tube, I have the oxygen flowing so slowly you cant even feel it coming out of the tube if you held it to you face. So is this a good thing for the mushrooms or bad? I haven't put it into use yet as I am waiting to get everyones opinion.. so.. what do you think?
thanks

yea no shit... i would say it would work out great! but expensive as hell if you need it refilled...
this is kinda like when you time release Co2 on buds to get them a bright green color! blast your fruits with a shot of O2and they'll be great.
IMO, i would say shoot em more during pinhead initiation, this should get you one helluva pinset

As im sure you already know (at least i would hope you would know) pure oxygen is extremely flammable. Besides the slight risk involved with running pure oxygen, i dont see any benefits it could provide honestly. Simple air exchange is all that is needed to provide the right environment for your mushies. A cool mist would probably give you the same results as an oxygen tank, will be more cost effective, and less dangerous.

Actually, that is technically incorrect, oxigen in itself does not burn. On the other hand an oxigen rich enviroment makes burnable things more vulnerable. So, as coda saidm be careful, or you might invent the spontaneosly combustible shroom.  Other than that, more nutrients (o2) should mean more fruits and size I imagine, so it should work, at least in theory. Keep us informed. If it works though, some grow setups are going to look like spaceage labs with a terrarium conected to ultrasonic humidifier, air filters and now an oxygen tank.

Bad idea very bad idea! As you should know oxygen is of little use to shrooms remember our atmosphere is made up of mostly nitrogen (78%) with only about 21% oxygen. Look at it like this, it's the lack of CO2 that we're concerned with not O2, this will help you understand the whole process much better. GL with your bomb!

Save that O2 for when you wake up with a horrible hangover. Fifteen minutes of diluted oxygen and a glass or two of water will absolutely cure the worst hangover within fifteen to twenty minutes. RR
