What triggers mushroom fruiting?

Pinning is the trickiest part for a mushroom grower, since a combination of carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration, temperature, light, and humidity triggers mushrooms towards fruiting.

How do you keep a fruiting chamber warm?

It's very simple. Basically, it's just an aquarium heater place into a water bottle which is filled with water. This may help, but you also may be fine without it.

How do you take care of a mushroom fruiting bag?

How long can mushroom spores survive?

Spore prints have been known to last 18 years! Perhaps longer but this is the longest we are aware of from our customer feedback and our network. Spore syringes do not last as long because eventually the water develops bacteria. A general guideline is 8 to 12 months.

What conditions are needed for a mushroom to grow?

Most mushrooms grow best in temperatures between 55°F and 60°F, away from direct heat and drafts. Enoki mushrooms grow better in cooler temperatures, about 45°F. Growing mushrooms is a good project for the winter, because many basements will get too warm in the summer for ideal conditions.

Does mycelium grow faster in the dark?

A commonly held belief among growers is that mycelium will grow faster in total darkness. There is no data to support this premise; however, significant exposure to direct UV light from the sun can be detrimental. Light is a secondary trigger for initiating fruiting bodies.

How do you control the temperature of a mushroom farm?

Mushrooms prefer cold temperature with high humidity. In the past, mushroom growing were restricted in highlands with average temperature below 25°C. Recently, growers can cultivate mushrooms inside growth chambers equipped with refrigeration system for maintaining the favorable temperature.
