Mushrooms & Light
    #7693428 - 11/29/07 01:11 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

How does light is important to grow mushrooms (indoor cultivation)?

Someone says that light is essential for Psylocibe Cubensis because differently from other kind, It needs light to grow.

But, how many light?

Someone says to set the greenhouse on a lucid place up but avoid direct sunlight; other one says to put a little neon light above mushrooms to influence exclusively growing direction.

What’s the true? :confused:

light tells the mycelium "hey you reached the surface, start fruiting." other than that light isn't really needed to grow in the way that plants do. i haven't used timed lights in a long time and when i did it was plugged into a very dim night-light. for my greenhouse grow i just left the closet door cracked a little and it was just fine.

It just tells them which way is up... Light is pretty important to get your project to pin.. Once pins set in, I usually drop the light from 12 hours straight to timed intervals of 1/2 hour to one hours on or off... usually only summing up to about 6 hours total of light.

I think you meant florescent.

It has been my experience that some strains do better with extra light, and some don't need it at all. But light does give mushrooms a direction in which to head to.

No neons... I have a 40 watt Philips Daylight spectrum fluorescent... 48". It's rated at 6500K, this is the one you want to use... Anything between 5500K and 6500K, it's always on the fluorescents...
They have a halogen bulb too that is 40watts and 5500K.... I have one of these over a aquarium...
These are the best.

Can I take my mushrooms indoor with daily light (avoid direct sun light) or It can be dangerous for their health?

Diffused sunlight through a window is great. In fact, five to ten minutes of direct sunlight will often get a stubborn substrate to begin pinning.
