Direct light?
Could someone clever let me know why indirect light is recommended for fruiting as opposed to direct. Ive noticed that fruit will lean towards the source of light in the room so would it not be better to encourage them to grow by giving them a stronger source than indirect sunlight?

Thanks

Indirect light is used so the mycelium is not exposed to direct sunlight as it will harm it. Possible even Kill it if it is hit with direct sunlight for to long, The heat factor is the biggest concern as temps in the upward 90's and higher 80's are not good for mushies and makes them more vunerable to contaminates

To much of something can be far worse than not enough at times especially when it comes to mushies and direct light, a lil bit is fine but, alot of direct sunlight is very bad.
