so should go with mono tub then eh? the problem is i leave every weekend leaving everything unattended and by the time i get back Sunday night my cakes dry out to the point where the flush is arrested. i am trying to not allow this to happen. but everyone is telling me i need to be there misting. i hydrate my perlite before i go and everytime i lose my flush.

Perlite will remain hydrated for months, so you don't need to wet it every weekend. Your mushrooms won't abort because of going two days without misting, provided you've built a proper terrarium and have 3 to 5 inches of well drained perlite inside. Something else is wrong. You can mist mushrooms. They thrive in the rain. What's your air exchange provisions?

isn't using a ultra sonic for like 30 seconds just as good as spraying? i guess i am just confused. seems to me there is a lot less likely hood of direct moisture getting on the mushrooms.




It is better, saves opening the lid. takes like 30 seconds.

Why would one want to avoid getting moisture on the mushrooms? Mushrooms are 90% water and benefit greatly from misting.

The other benefit to misting is to replenish moisture in the casing layer or on the surface of the cake. You can't do that with humidity, even at 100%. It must be done by misting. Opening the lid of a fruiting chamber a few times per day is a great idea. A total influx of fresh air is always good for the pinning/fruiting mushrooms.
