Mushroom Update #2 (The Humidified Mushrooms)




September 30, 2018

Day 30 of our mushroom project.

Things really aren't going well with our mushrooms.  To date, we only had 4 fruitings, and one of those bags is the one that already had fruits in them when we got it, it just had another flush.

We still are not able to give this project its needed attention.  My brother and I both lives far from its location.  I think Eldeen visits them every other day, while I can only visit on weekends (either Saturday or Sunday).

And to make it up to them (again), we added this humidifier.  My brother ordered this from an online store about two weeks ago, and it was finally delivered!  Talk about fast delivery (hmph!).  He ordered three items from this online store, some vertical pots, a timer, and this humidifier.  He made the order last September 17.  The pots were delivered on the twentieth, the timer on the 24th, and this humidifier just this 28.

Eldeen installed our DIY humidifier yesterday (September 29). 

He used a 5 liter PET bottle, where he cut two holes.  One is for the PC fan (the intake) to blow the mist, and the other one is where the mist would come out.


This is how it looked.  The PC fan was attached using four screws.

Below is the Timer.


It is set to work in a two-hour cycle. 

30 minutes on and 90 minutes off.

We hope that with this addition, our mushrooms would be happier and all of the bags would fruit.  Soon!

Until next time.
