Dangers of growing in the tropics?
    #5706812 - 06/03/06 07:46 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I live in Tampa, FL. My original plan was to go ahead and grow some shrooms inside, but then I thought it would be cheaper to just raise the cakes outside, where there is always a ton of humidity. A lot of people caution me, however, that they will be easily prone to other bacteria in the air- especially in Florida- and will most likely fail. Aside from keeping them inside the lannais and under roof to protect from the rain, and having a dripshield protect it from any condensation as well as some animals such as bugs and geckos, is there anything I can do, or will the air itself be too dangerous for the cakes?

Just grow them in a rubbermaid with perlite on the bottom.

that works too, but I'd still like to know if natural humidity is safe, even out of curiosity.

You can control the parameters inside.
You cannot control the environment outside.

Inside will probably net you better end results.
Outside will probably require less work in the end.
I would do both.
Which ever one you like better, stick with it.
