Casings require 95% RH for pinning and 90% RH for fruiting, from what I've read. I know casings make their own microclimate. How are these lower humidity levels beneficial? Will higher humidity say 99% decrease yeilds or cause other problems?
Dub,
You wouldn't want to have your rh over say 92% after pinning , ( 95% - 99 % MAX before pinning ), because you accelerate the possible growth of contaminants, and you'll more than likely over saturate your substrate, causing it to rot and die.
If you have a good and constant FAE source, you can let things ride on their own at 92%, and 72F - 76F , w/o too much concern or constant monitoring at all.
Your little friends are very tolerant of errors and environmental stress, and there is no harm in experimenting,..... But I would advise you to stay with the plan, and successful teks. There are quite a few things that can go wrong if you go too far off course.

Malabar, is that how you roll, @ 92% RH?
Dub,
Every FC in the house is running @ 92% RH during fruiting and 95% RH when I'm waiting for pins.
Things are pretty much automated around here, since I have a lot of things going on.
