What the video covers
Opening the tub too soon. Mycelium thrives in still, humid air—let it breathe only when pins appear. {'text': 'SEALED TUB', 'y': 360, 'size': 60} {'tokens': [('HANDS', True), ('OFF', True), ('UNTIL', True), ('PINNING', True)], 'y': 450, 'size': 65} Overwatering drowns mycelium.
A light mist once a week is all it needs—think dew, not a downpour. {'text': 'MISTING TIPS', 'y': 360, 'size': 60} {'tokens': [('DEW,', True), ('NOT', True), ('DOWNPOUR', True)], 'y': 450, 'size': 88} Fanning too early or too hard scatters spores and stresses the mycelium. Gentle airflow only after pins form.
