Not sure if humid under container or not? Guess it is, I keep soaking tile.

On the picture in photobucket go to share, copy and past the IMG code on to the thread Martin, is much better than clicking links

Hi Martin, visible water doesn't equal humidity, don't add anymore water to the tile as there seems loads of water in there. When I had my old colony you a really couldn't see any water what so ever until you opened the door and the cold air entered and the tubs would mist up.. You don't want water dripping down the sides and touching the fungus or it will be game over mate

Hi, I understand your point. The tiles are biscuit tiles, highly absorbent. So any drips are just absorbed into tile. That's why i'm using them. Fungus looks healthy. Will report back with progress update in few weeks.

So can I see growing fungus there? Certainly looks more humid, accepting Jamies point about the humidity, compared to the previous pics of your setup. Going in the right direction.

Cutting much better tonight. Cupboard feels humid when you open doors, so must be nice and humid under tge nest container

Fantastic Martin, fungus looks like its being added to well in the photo. You must be happier.
Is hard to wait a few weeks isn't it

Wow got home tonight and realised they have almost doubled tge height of the fungus in less than a week - just shows what a bit of humidity can do
