The whole Mushrooms' Paradise blog
Here is a short update on the mushrooms' farm.
Unfortunately, the first batch of mushrooms died. I think my EnviroHAT was a bit defective and was showing humidity much higher than it really was.
My code used to check humidity and turn humidifier only if it is lower than needed. So I assume it was getting wrong readings and didn't run humidifier often enough.
Some mushrooms' cakes from the first batch did sprout but then all of them dried out.
Second batch is looking good so far. Cakes are sprouting. I decided to replace humidifier with repti-fogger - a special type of humidifier used for reptiles' terrariums. It has hoses that I can adjust to direct humidity to the exact areas where I need it. I also modified the code a little bit. Hopefully this batch will survive.
