Why are the mushrooms already opening up and not getting very big? It’s my first grow and they are Golden Teacher.

How should I keep my monotub humid at this stage when pins are already growing?

Should I only mist the side walls and lid, or can I also very lightly mist the surface/mycelium in the middle with a fine water mist?

I have some side pins and fuzzy feet. Should I increase FAE a bit or just leave it alone? The surface still has small moisture beads and everything else looks healthy.

I’m on day 5. Should I introduce fruiting conditions now or let it colonize for another 2 days?

Also, is it correct to slightly crack/open the lid for fresh air exchange and only mist if the surface starts looking too dry?

I currently have about 600 g of grain spawn — would you consider it ready once it’s fully colonized and firm, or do you usually let it sit a few extra days?

Second question: what ratio do you use for coco coir? More like 1:2 or 1:3 (spawn : substrate)?

And how do you prepare your coir exactly? How much water do you use for the dry fibers to get the right moisture (not too dry or too wet)?

Thanks a lot 🙏
