Water from the lid, is dropping on the SHroomies!! HELP :)
    #7780872 - 12/20/07 09:15 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Ello, The shrooms are having water dropped on them, and building one of those drip sheilds is not practical in my case. Is there another way to stop water from building up on top? Thank you so much!

Love,

Draigan

Are you heating your fruiting chamber? If so, equalizing the temperature inside with the temperature outside may help stop condensation on the inside of the chamber.

I would love to match the temperature inside and outside the fc, but its too much money! I have the possibility for fae, but im just afraid. Its my first time growing mushrooms. There are holes in the fc, but I taped them up. I have about 3-4 inches of perlite in the fc. Is it really such a bad thing if water drips on the mushies? I leave the light on 24/7 for heating. Is this ok?

Today I awoke to find a mushroom about half an inch long poking out! Its the first mushroom to poke. It was a relief to see, but I'm still not convinced this project will be a success. If a single mushroom poked out, do you think its pretty much a for sure thing more will?

Thank you guys :laugh:

I am sure that you're on the right track. Just keep up FAE and you will be A o.k.

All that moisture on the walls of your FC is coming out of the air and therefore lowering your RH. What is the temperature in the room you're fruiting in? You can't move the FC somewhere warmer, or buy a space heater? High RH is very important. FAE is very important. What are you doing for FAE? Your mushrooms need these things, and if you fail to give them what they need, you will fail.

Better open them up. Lots of fresh air is the key to avoiding contamination in fruiting chambers. Don't allow condensation to rain on your fruits. Don't heat your fruiting chamber. If you need a warmer temperature, put it in a warmer room. Condensation is caused by temperature differential between the terrarium and the outside air.

yea RR is right, my fruits get rained on every once in a while and it doesn't really do anything more than make a little blemish on the caps though, which isn't a problem for me because i don't really care about the mushrooms perfect aesthetic appearance.

Ok thank you guys :smile: I was wondering what was stealing the humidity, even though there was tons of water in there! It's a pay in the ass heating this thing where I live. My landlord is very cheap. Its like 65f at night and 70 at day time. The light bulb I have in there keeps it at 78f. Anyways I'm going to fix it. BTW for fae exchange I have been fanning it out about 6-8x a day with a small fan.

Peace love and all that jazz :P
