Leave growing shrooms alone for three days. Can it be done?
    #5533241 - 04/19/06 11:16 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have six small boxes with shrooms growing in them, they are placed in two big plastic boxes with moist perlite under the small boxes. I am supposed to remove the lids twice a day and ventilate and spray some water/peroxide over them.

Now I really need to go away for three days. Is there a way to be able to leave your shrooms alone for that period of time without spoiling the whole thing?

The only possible solution I have come up with is to keep the lids open, just a little, little bit so fresh air can come in. Would that be a stupid solution?

Poor mans pod can be left alone from casing to harvest with the exception of topping up the water resivoir.

Don't do anything. The worst that will probably happen is your mushrooms will stall. When you get back give them plenty of fresh air and they will continue growing. In my experience they will not rot as long as they are attached to the substrate.

Actually, it's not a bad idea. I would, remove the perilite, make sure it's in an area that gets some air circulation, and open the lid _more than a crack_. If these are casings, the sub isn't going to dry out much in 3 days, especially if the air exchange is limited. This is assuming you don't live in a desert.

The alternative, which would be a better idea, is a mono-tub if you don't mind drilling holes in your tub.
