Post a picture of your bounce mushroom along with the PAR, light type (LED, T5, Halides) and light make/model. Let’s see if there really is a correlation between PAR and bubbles.

I’ll start:

PAR 75-90
LED, AI Hydra 32

No shrooms myself, just here to add: it may also help to list what settings (channels and intensities) are being run to see if specific types of light (such as red, UV, green/yellow, etc.) are related to the bounce or not.

I was trying to keep it low effort for people to share but more details are always welcome :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Other than lineage, flow and blues/UV, my theory is that higher PAR with proper acclimation makes larger bubbles. In the past, the consensus was mushrooms did better in low light (imports) but I think they grow faster and bubblier in higher PAR if given time to acclimate. I’m slowly working towards 150+ PAR.
