Question about my first substrate
    #5915673 - 07/30/06 05:14 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hi,
I'm using PF Tek (according to the Mushroom Growers Guide) for my first grow. I inoculated my substrates last night and I have them where they will stay at the required temp. I have the covers on them that have the inoculation holes in them. On top of that is foil loosely wrapped around the top. I read in a FAQ that after the mycilium network is 20% colonized, it needs air exchange. Is my setup adequate for the neccesary air exchange? Thanks in advance.

wrong.

the mycelium needs GAS exchange.

and yes, your setup is just fine.
I see no need for that foil though.

you won't be needing air exchange for a little while.
that comes in the fruiting stage.

If I take off the foil, will the moisture evaporate through the little holes?

Follow the PF tek, do NOT remove the foil. The foil is a dust cover that prevents contams from falling down into your jars.

if you want a dust cover that works...

use a coffee filter or two held down with a rubber band.
man FF, you really do love that foil.
