Which type of mushroom spores did you use? Was that some type of grain spawn or why were they so extremely big? And which species of mushroom did you mix into your moss mix?

[@chrisrichardson1916]

Nice but may be in the future you may!!!,get mould? Well done I'm yet to start my first ! Nice mix in the plants will be all nice when it matures more ! Thank you for sharing

[@stephaniepeacock3425]

Love the moss tack! Thanks for sharing! Would this hold coco walls?

[@myaquascapingjourney1255]

Great set up. How long is the misting on for? 🌱

[@DIYHerps]

One minute twice a day

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

My mosses, ferns and lymps all grew well but I used too much soil in mine and it thinned out and died back. I have tree frog's so what else can I use as a substrate? More wood and leaves? I'm thinking about going to a local rainforest and collecting the leaves as it has moss ferns and other spors already in it........

Do u have a video on how to build this terrarium? Really nice buddy!

[@artrabum]

Anyone know what type of light is used?? Thanks. Great vid

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

I use a cheap patio led downlight, it has 3 colour settings and the highest being 5600K 900 lumen white. The mosses respond well to it.

[@sebe7368]

what kind of misting system do you use

[@DIYHerps]

I use a DIY system with my own line of nozzles, check out my video on it

[@weareorigin]

What you think of aquarium-safe silicon glue, and lots of java moss pieces? Glue the java moss to the back wall and mist 1 minute twice a day still.

[@DIYHerps]

I think that could potentially kill the java moss but I may be wrong. I would silicone sphagnum instead and then layer tiny fragments of java moss on the sphagnum after

[@kovenant7]

Where did you order the various spores from?

[@DIYHerps]

ebay mainly

[@xavierasetamy4320]

What lighting are you using?

[@laurensomerville3477]

Can I use the same method for a crested gecko Viv but without the mushrooms?

[@DIYHerps]

Hi Lauren, I wouldnt recommend this method for crested geckos as it requires very high humidity compared to what crested geckos usually have.

[@frankbillingham4611]

Where did you get the mushroom seeds?

[@DIYHerps]

eBay!

[@houseoffirebellytoads1439]

nice but i think there will be algae sooner or later
