The mycobag should have a filter patch and there is a pre-established micro-climate inside of the bag.
I don't believe you have to inttroduce any external RH to the bag.
Just put it in a closet or whatever with a 12 and 12 light setup.
Myco Bags should be a set it and forget it deal.

Yes it does but on mycofarm.com it says ''Place the grain bag inside of the tent on top of the perlite. Peg the top of the humidity tent'' So does this mean seal the bag and open occasionally or let it sit? T Y

strange in-vitro products sold all over the place.

I personally wouldn't open that bag until there were mushrooms to pick and then maybe consider using that tent thinger mer bobber.

A distinction must be made between fruiting and colonizing. When colonizing, leave the bag closed and allow the filter patch to effect the small amount of gas exchange required.
Once the bag is fully colonized, open it up every day, or cut the top off the bag and place in FC so it gets proper fresh air exchange which is one of the pinning triggers. RR

They are already pinning. So are you saying to open it up everyday?

Correct. Give it some air exchange now. RR

Hope you don't mind but this is an example of inadequate FAE's or in otherwords higher the optimum CO2 levels (long skinny stems with small caps and is quite common with new inexperienced growers or invitro growers. As RR said theres a big difference between colonizing substrates and fully colonized substrates that are ready or are fruiting, treat them differently.
-------------------- Getting the most out of your casings!, A pinning strategy. Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
