It seems as though my casing is drying out even tho I maintain a temp @ 76-78 & rh @ 94 - 96.
How do you mist your casing to keep from drying out when pins and shrooms are everywhere,
coz you're not supposed mist these or get them wet, correct?
- OR -
Is this moisture loss typical as they begin fruiting and not a concern until after 1st flush?
Thx,

mist the sides and the lid that covers it with a fine mist.
The only moisture loss I see is the sides of the sub pulling away for the container it's in.
IME, it is common for that to happen when fruiting.
And I have also been told it is due to lack of moisture,but I had my GH at 100% RH for 24hrs before, and the trays were starting to get pools of water in them, and the sides still pulled away from the container the sub was in.
So I leave it to the mushies sucking out alot of moisture from the sub.

No.
