Hello all this is my first time ever growing edibles, and I must say I'm excited!
I used Blue Oyster LC to inoc wbs and spawned to toilet paper, and I'm finally seeing pins today after a long wait! Everything was done sort of willy nilly and I was not expecting success at all. I am using an RR style terrarium with perlite humidification and natural sunlight as well as hand mistings/fannings! I will post pics soon, who woulda thunk something you use after you errrrr..... could actually be used to grow such an incredible organism!

Just thought I'd add this in for anyone who has humidity problems with perlite, my ambient humidity is only 20% yet the inside of the terrarium remains at a constant 99%. Perlite works amazing if done properly, that means no standing water.

No standing water is the key to high humidity, as well as the holes in the bottom(which also make standing water impossible). However, don't forget that even with all the holes in the terrarium, you'll still want to fan your oysters a few times per day. They are extremely CO2 intolerant. The sign of high CO2 is baseball bat fruits with fat stems and little tiny caps. Good luck and congrats! RR

Even though I thoroughly drained the perlite I still had a bit of water drip out from the bottom after I placed it next to the windowsill to fruit. I've never had an easier time maintaining humidity than I have with the multi-holed terrarium. I've been fanning about once or twice a day, I think I will up the fan rate a bit. I remember hearing oysters like to be rained on, so I've been misting once a day as well. How long do oysters usually take from pins to fruits? They seem to be taking a bit more time than other kinds mushrooms I've cultivated.
