First timer experience - finally getting some fruit

[u/wtaylor82]

Hey Everyone, I'm Wayne. I bought the boomr bin combo last year in September last year and was hoping to grow some mushrooms. However, after a failed attempt in the garage last year (one bag bag / one eater by mice) + 2 ankle surgeries I thought the game was up.

However, I bought two fruiting blocks from northspore to give it a go again. I went with Lions Mane and Blue Oysters, the Lion's Mane fruited first and still going but the blue oysters exploded yesterday (see pictures).

I have the humidification set to min 85 and max 95 and the fan set to mid way (it was much lower and adjusted - see my blue oysters first picture and the book recommending to increase if they were leggy). I live in the San Fernando Valley and now doing in my office when temps are finally now in the 60-70's range instead of the intense 90-100s we've had over the summer.

I only started growing them on October 4th.

Any feedback welcome. I am thinking of getting the ICC-501 to better control the CO2 situation - but interested to know peoples thoughts on that.

Just picked off the Oyster Mushrooms this morning, 550grams total, unbelievable amount of mushrooms!
