Jared Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 After finally making my own fruiting chamber, I can say that it works! These are blue oysters, I bought the kit online. I grew golden oysters before these without the fruiting chamber, and they didn’t grow nearly this big. These oysters are easily two to three times the size of the golden ones, I’ve included pics of both. Definitely worth the 20 bucks it cost to make it. I’m also currently growing shiitakes out of it and those are growing very well. The first pic is obviously not accurate weight on the scale, with the plate subtracted, the first harvest was roughly 12 oz of yield.

JOHNY Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Tell us about the fruiting chamber. Size. Cost. Humidity control. CO2 addition. Lighting>. Anything. Your success might inspire me to grow some mushrooms during our long winter where nothing is growing outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 All I did was make a shotgun fruiting chamber, you can find numerous tutorials on how to do that, for humidity control I just spray down the sides of the chamber and the perlite at the bottom a few times per day to keep it constantly moist. The constant evaporation of the water keeps a good humid environment on the inside. I believe my particular container is around 16-20 gallons. Super simple and it cost me only 20 bucks, yet it easily tripled my usual harvest. Highly recommend building one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
