A fruiting room provides the controlled environment necessary for mushrooms to develop properly.
Key Environmental Factors:
Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels (85-95%) to prevent mushrooms from drying out.
Temperature: Optimal temperatures vary by species but generally range between 55-75°F (13-24°C).
Fresh Air Exchange (FAE): Adequate airflow prevents the buildup of carbon dioxide, which can inhibit mushroom development.
Lighting: Indirect light or low-intensity artificial lighting is sufficient, as mushrooms do not require intense light.
