Thanks..
Ok, this is basically what I have going on "shotgun" fruiting chamber.. I made a hole in the side of the tote box for the reptile fogger. Im sure I will need to add the pop bottles to aid in catching the extra condensation.
?: Honestly I have noticed a tad bit more "humidity" in there then I would like.. If I let the fogger run for hours on end I have noted little puddles of water that's accumulated. You think the pop bottles would work as a "filter"
?: Like maybe 2 in a line. I was thinking that where I have "grain" & cakes both I could just score some of those hospital pans, pour my grain into those, cover with he medium and sit into the fruiting chamber
?: Not trying to go against any grain by far
just trying to figure out what approach would work better for me where I have the BRF+V cakes & grain .. lol Thanks 4 your help in this though.. Much appreciated..

Dank,
I liked that post above....it nailed your problem, that you are drenching
your efforts. I have used both passive and active humidification and a
repti-fogger is a great addition, on a cycle-timer, but the best type of
humidifier for mushroom growing is probably the "impellor type".
BUT, probably the best approach, esp for those learning, is the
Shotgun Fruiting Chamber.
This is basically what the other poster suggested, in that it relies on perlite,
but you really will need air flow if you are going to avoid mold.
--> Take a clear tote and drill 1/4" holes, very 2", on *all six sides*, and
fill it will well moistened perlite.
That is it. Place your blocks/cakes on foil squares on the perlite and
mist the sides of the chamber if it gets dry where you are.
That is the safest/best fruiting chamber there is, IMHO.
Onward and upward,
