I'm DESPERATE! HELP MY shrooms are dying?!!?

Currently my shrooms are growing inside a big clear plastic container with plastic wrap over the top, with holes in it of course. I bought a rye pack and let the mycelium grow, then transferred it to a big plastic bag with compost and an air patch. While in the bag I saw a couple really small shrooms, but they all died and the compost got considerably less white. I was feraking out so I moved them to the big plastic container. There is more moisture now, if that's good, but i'm afraid my psylocibin is dead!!! what can I do?!?! help?!?!

If they die on the substrate... they can ruin the rest of the substrate.. If the heads are black and they are turning black... Pick those things.. Don't eat just cuz they can make you sick... Like any rotted thing. That's all I can think of.. I don't exactly know what you are working with...

fresh air exchange...not frequent. if you frequently replace stale air with stale air that isn't going to help your grow. keyword: fresh

Oh. Well, how would I go about changing the air? Take the plastic off and reapply or just leave it off for a while in between changing plastic?

You do not want any stale air, you want to shift the air. Give it a good fanning. They say 4 times a day is enough. I fan 45-60 seconds about every two hours. Never have too much fresh air exchange. Good luck and I hope they pull through!  Lonnie Edwin

I was just always under the assumption that FAE all it did was remove CO2 that was sitting on the substrate / casing layer....

yes, it removes CO2 and replaces it with more oxygen.

thanks, much appreciated. I'll post some pics if they renew...but I'm pretty afraid at the moment. hopefully the fresh air exchange will work. I assume a hair dryer is sufficient?

no no no, dont use a hair dryer lol. Take the lid to the tub they are in and use it as a fan, give them a good fanning for about 15-20 seconds. IDK how everyone else does it but I mist mine after I fan then close it up , try and fan atleast 3 times a day. mist as needed to keep it all moist (not wet)

Why is fanning with a lid so hard?

I don't like to fan with my lid because little droplets of water tend to fall from the lid into the tub. I have heard that hitting a pin with hard spray can cause it to abort, so I would have to think the same from a decent sized water droplet from three feet above the tub.
It also give me an excuse to keep my wife's Victoria's secret catalogue in my closet.
