Fruiting chamber not tall enough?
    #7683969 - 11/26/07 11:36 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

My first time growing shrooms and I just birthed my cakes today into my fruiting chamber. I might have a problem though, as the height of the rubbermaid container is only about 8-9" tall. I bought it because it was extra wide so it could hold more cakes. But, with the cakes and perlite inside theres only about 3" of room above the cakes for the shrooms to grow.

Will the shrooms be able to grow out instead of up? I gave them some extra space between each so I'm hoping that will help.

Yea, they adapt and if hit their head on the lid, they either grow to the side and/or the stem grows thicker instead of longer, but when you pick them, the weight should be the same as if they were allowed to grow taller.

I think the shrooms would grow no matter what the low ceiling will just cause them to jam up on the top. A taller FC would fix the problem of course. i use plastic containers about a lil bigger than a foot with a good 3 inches of perlite on the bottom and holes all around and that is perfect for me. Got the container at Target for like 4 bucks and fits incognito from my parents in my closet.

Air exchange will be the big issue with a shorter tub. You won't be able to close it up or the air will stagnate too fast. Drill a bunch of holes into all sides to promote good ventilation.
