ok, so after thrwoing out about 20 lbs of hpoo monotubs on my back porch in hopes that the neighborhood birds will distrubte the spores and thus beautify the neighborhood, I found sucess in my 6th tub. Everything's going pretty good, I'm frustrated that I can get the second flush to be more than the first, in other words cover more area. Enough hippy bullshit, here's my problem:
I made a lot of BRF cakes, almost all of which has failed. I get these teeny tiny nubbins on top, but nothing else, except for one cake. I put it into a glass ashtray with water on the bottom and it did produce some decent and delicious shrooms. My fruiting chamber is kept at 78 degrees farenheit and %95 humidity (the upper limit of my chinese slave labor wallmart instrument.) The cakes were dunked prior to fruiting, so I don't understand. I can't roll them in verm because the verm comes off, and it seems as thought the verm on the top is impenetrable to my flourescent light located about 9-10 inches from the chamber. What gives? How do I get more of these yummy morels? Bob Dole is counting on your help, a reply to this post is a reply to america and her peoples.

well I adapted a small doubletub, so there's a fan from mycosupply(?) that I cut a whole in about 4 inches in diameter and it cycles on and off about 2 times/hr. I also have a tropicaire humidifier with about 15 gpm flow total (two pumps in parallel), 6 polyfill holes, plus I open the lid and fan it often (The lids are sealed with a silicone strip I got from the auto department of wallys world. I do also have a large heatbomb of 75 watts power and of a volume of maybe 2 liters, it was housed in a mix drink bottle. Another problem I have is my caps are developing holes in the top of them, and then the stipes split and they keel over and die. Sucks.

I think you're over-complicating things. A simple terrarium with perlite and hand fanning would probably work much better than that newfangled setup you have there.
This was my very first setup:

Not pretty, but it did the trick.
