Shower with your cakes?

Alright, this is going to sound so gay. But, since I take really hot showers, would it be ideal to take my terrarium into my bathroom? Ha ha, man I feel like a fucking idiot asking this, regardless, just the thought alone bathing near a bunch of magic mushrooms is fucking hilarious.

Oh, when I say shower, I mean have them in the same room, not under water.

I'd do a temperature test of your bathroom while the shower is running at your preferred temperature and see if that temperature is preferable.
I don't really understand what this would accomplish as even a thirty minute temperature change would not have much to do with colonization or fruiting speed of your cakes.
Are you talking fruiting cakes (since you said terrarium)? Fanning for FAE, perlite humidification, and spraying should be sufficient compared to randomly disturbing your cakes every time you take a shower for a bit of hot steam to land on your cakes.
Seems rather pointless to me.

Let's say you're spraying the cakes, with the mist of a warm shower the cake gets water, but not a single shot from a nozzle. Yeah, it might be pointless, but if you leave the cakes in the bathroom after the shower w/o the fan on, the humidity of the room should last a while with the door closed. Please feel free to tell me I'm mentally retarded and should just hang myself tonight 
For instance, I've always found schrooms under trees, so by this mist/shower idea it's kind of simulating rain on a warm summer day. Enough moisture and heat in the air to help promote growth...

It's gonna be a few weeks before I can test it, but I'll let you know.
But as Chi said, I really need to check the temp. before I do so. Too hot and I could kill 'em or get nasty mold I assume.

And also, taking hot showers isn't "gay".
No worries.

Bathrooms often have black mold growing around the bathtub caulking, and under and around the toilet. I'd avoid it. Mushrooms most of all like to be left alone in the correct conditions. RR

showers are filthy, they breed bacteria. I would keep my casings far away.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

The bathroom is not as bad as the kitchen though. Id still stay clear of anywhere that grows black mould.

I had the same idea on my first grow a couple years back. I don't know if it helped or hindered at all, but with all the funk-nasties that go in a bathroom, I'd say it was one of my better ideas. I'd stay away just to be safe.
Peace.

Can't argue with that logic.
