Make an inexpensive but highly effective mushroom fruiting chamber for under $20. You can do this!

Ready to up your home mushroom-growing game? This fruiting chamber can be built in well under an hour, using a clear tote that you may have around already (we used a 56L tote from Target -- $7.50 new) and a 40mm, 5V mini-USB fan that you can get for $8 from Amazon. Other than that, you'll need an empty yogurt container (or peanut butter container, or literally anything else that's about a quart in size, holds water, and is easy to cut), a rag or some sort (could even be an old t-shirt), a couple of clips of some sort, micropore paper tape (you can get it at a pharmacy in the 1st aid section) and some tools. A drill, drill bits, a hole saw set, a Phillips screwdriver, and a utility knife. If you don't have those things, you've probably got an uncle or neighbor who does.

This chamber will produce perfect conditions to grow one or two fruiting blocks (might I suggest the high-value, low cost DIY fruiting kits from The Fungal Network?), and is extremely easy to clean.
