"Three grams" of mushrooms, nice 'operation' You got going there' ?
What kind of substrate are You using ?
Are You going small town with the pf tek or You going bulk style ?
If bulk what style / technique ? Are You using a grow light [i have heard of people using CFLs before]?
Are You using a terrarium? What are You using for humidity ? More leaving for work ?

yeah I was only using 3 lil 1lb cakes, my chamber was to large the top of the cakes keep drying out. using a 100 watt LED bulb I stripped down.
first round only had 4 shrooms spawn on 3 cakes. I have 20 lil shrooms coming up on this second round with just one cake, was 2 but just got algae on one.
will be going bulk on my next batch. this was my first run so just testing things I read online.

are You giving a fresh air exchange at least 5 times a day ?
"4 shrooms" on 3 cakes is a horrible outcome... What do YOU think is going wrong ?

imo the fruiting chamber was to large and humidity was not what it should have been. I have this 2nd grow in a chamber 1/2 the size and am getting spawns every day. but now my new issue is algae in my substrate I should have boiled my sub between grows and didn't. hoping this grow finishes b4 it gets on my last cake

I spray distilled water about 5 times a day on it by hand with spray bottle. and I use some aquarium substrate I had laying around from a previous project that the cakes lay on.20170817_190808.jpg
