mushrooms are not very large!!! ?

[zombione]

Why I have much smalls mushrooms instead of having some larger numbers some reduced?
they blacken and are entirely open but are not very large.
How can I have some larger?
Someone know why?

Not enough humidity. Or maybe your kit is all dried up, and not producin' anymore mushrooms.

but how can i get more humidity?

Spray bottle.

or just buy a humidifer and a humidity gage. They are pretty cheap. Try keep the relative humidity betweek 45-60%..

I keep my humidity right at 50% and the temp at 22 degrees celisus.

 

[Dan_kNugs]

Why do you keep humidity so low?? It should be at like 95%.

 

[ACE101]

95% are you serious? Wouldn't your mushrooms have white fuzz all over them at that humidity???

The mexicans that I'm growing seem to love it right around 50% but I may be wrong. This is my first attempt to grow them. I've been successful so far.

The white fuzz is fine, as long as it's not growin' on the caps (that's when you have too much humidity). But yes, try raisin' your humidity up..you may see an increase in yield. If you're usin' a humidifier, be careful..'cause these do cause a lot of humidity..so don't go overboard.

but how can you verif your humidity?

You need to get a hydrometer.
