I have a couple of mushrooms that I just picked up on Monday I was just wondering what type of lighting would be good for them to reproduce and live under?
I have right now
1 15 watt actnic.
Numerous florescent tubes from 15 to 30 watt.
Mh 175 watt each bulb, two bulbs in mh fixture.
Right now they are under a 15 watt florescent at the very top.
If I need more lighting or need to buy a new fixture please tell me and specify on which one please.
I am only planning on keeping mushrooms and rics.
Thank You

It sounds like you should be able to survive with the lighting you have. I don't think they would flourish though. If they are getting some light from that 175 MH that is more than enough.

if you want them to reproduce, rics like more nutrient water.
