12 Hours of Light
    #7852648 - 01/09/08 08:21 AM (16 years, 23 days ago)

Just simply wondering, when we say mushrooms require a small amount of light to grow, from 6-12 hours - does this mean that during the other 12 hours it should be COMPLETELY dark?

I keep mine under a flouro light for 12 hours, but I just noticed that the cakes get another good 2-3 hours of light from the ambience due to the sun shining in the room. Is that a problem, and maybe the reason why they will not fruit?

mushrooms don't need light to (grow) the myc uses it to figure out which way to grow. either way if u have them in a room with a window try to use the sunlight as a light source for how ever long it is up or enters the room the remaining time use your light to get the full 12 hrs, after that just let them sit. small amounts of light won't hurt it. so don't worry!

They never need total darkness at any time. Ambient light is fine. 'We' don't say mushrooms require only a small amount of light to grow however. Depending on the species, the results on pinset and performance from much brighter lights is well documented.
