Is it Greedy to want to see everyone's Smile ?
I have been trying to find info into growing inside a fish tank, with ultra sonic misters possibly.

does any one know any good info, as it is hard to find munch info.
Any experienced out here?

I read that i dont want any "moisture forming on the rice cakes", during fruiting; why is this?

-Wouldnt i just otherwise be spraying the cakes with a spray bottle?

Cheers any pictures diagram or hints wanted :)
 
No moisture forming on the cakes during fruiting? I'm not sure about that... Spray/mist them generously a couple of times a day. The fruit body also absorbs water. You really don't need any kind of complex setup for fruiting, a fish tank will be a fine fruiting chamber. Moisten some perlite and line the bottom and place the cakes on tinfoil or a jar lid if you have a lot spare. I like jar lids because they hold the excess water after spraying for the cakes to soak up. Fan the chamber every day a couple of times and be sure to re-dunk between flushes.
 
I mist mine plenty, couple times a day and then fan them. Worked for me I already had 1 flush and I can see pins starting for a second now.
 
I happen to be researching similar things to grow my little fun-guys in and ran across this at the Shroomery.

Shroomery - Teh Fire-and-4get Bubbleh Humidifier

Make a sealed unit bubbler with forced air humidifier that is beautiful and effective
www.shroomery.org www.shroomery.org

If you're not familiar with that site, check it out. It contains EVERYTHING one would even neer to know about mushrooms and if it doesn't there are people on there who can fill in the blanks. They are sticklers (as they should be) for the use of the "Search" feature, but I highly reccommend it. The Shroomery is to mushrooms as the Nexus is to spice.

Happy Shrooming!

Pardon my nooby question, but when you fan, how long do you do it and what method do you use? I've been doing it for 30 seconds to a minute and just using the FC lid to do the fanning.

Yeah I fan with the lid a few times a day and mist with a sprawy bottle.
 
Honestly the best place to look for a terrarium setup would be the Shroomery. I remember using a file on there about setting up terrariums and what is needed for the cakes to successfully produce good fruits, it had diagrams of how the setup should look and step by step instructions on how to set it up. I believe it was good for the whole process as well. I actually never got around to trying it, due to the fact of someone found my spores and disposed of them...but I know people who have used it to their success.
 
Thanks Pup Tentacle, that is exactly what i have been hearing about; positive pressure units :)
 
if you are thinking of building a shotgun chamber for fruiting..I tried that first..and felt like it did not hold enough humidity..I got another contained and skipped the holes..just fan it and mist it..I got one cake now with 14 fruits on it.
 
I made a tub with a hillbilly humidifier/FAE system: cut off 2 liter bottle, drop large airstone in, fill up with water & salt. Attach a large (30-60 gallon capacity) aquarium airpump. No holes in my FC, and about 3 inches of wet pearlite & salt in the bottom.

Fruits have nice body size, so no lack of fresh air, humidity stays up. Tub is clear, so no opening and exposing to contams to peek at the progress. No holes in the tub, just a positive pressure system. Only been using it for about 4-5 projects thus far, but no contams in there yet, even after 3-5 flushes.

No reason why it wouldn't work in an aquarium too.
