If indoor ventilation is not performed properly and the condition of dry or excessively humid conditions is repeated due to temperature differences day and night, there is a tendency for fungal clustering and water mushrooms to increase. In order to minimize water mushrooms and malformed mushrooms, care should be taken to manage humidity and ventilation inside the cultivation house.
