Anybody try fruiting shrooms in a grow tent? Is a typical small (1000) Marshydro LED ok to use? I’ve read mushrooms like more blue light not red. ---

Mushrooms do fine with a $7 plain 60 watt light bulb. Light doesn’t help mushrooms much. All light does for mushrooms is tell them in which direction (up) to grow and it helps a bit with having well-formed fruiting bodies. The light I use for growing shrooms is a regular table lamp with a 60 watt bulb in it and the lamp is placed 10 feet away from the tent. Mushrooms need very little light to do well. > [@Jerdan03](#): > > grow tent I use a Martha tent for growing mushrooms as it is easier to hit the humidity levels (RH = 80%+) necessary for growing mushrooms. ![20220119_070112](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/0/f/60f1b1603568e3e713860513f20f38c2cd3bc083.jpeg) ---

It’s a table lamp all the way over to the left with the mushroom tent all the way on the right. It’s a 60 watt plain old GE light bulb in the lamp over to the left. ![20240107_092340](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/7/2/6729089848ae508ceb80343d5fd5fe8b0f77a8d1.jpeg) ---

I prefer ambient light for my setups. Nice Martha @MidwestGuy Hadn’t seen one in awhile 👍🏻 haven’t been in the game either so that’s not saying much. ---
