Temperature: 55-70°F | 13-21°C
Humidity: Phase 1: Primordia (95-100%), Phase 2: Fruitbody (85-95%)
CO2: Phase 1: Primordia (500-700 ppm), Phase 2: Fruitbody (<1,000 ppm)
• Primordia - The earliest recognizable stage of fruitbody development. Also known as “baby mushrooms” or “mushroom pins.”• Fruitbody - A fully grown mushroom, the reproductive structure of the organism in which the spores are produced.
• CO2 sensitivity - When CO2 levels are too high, yields will decrease, stems will become long and stringy, caps will be small, and/or growth will halt.
