My apartment is quite humid, thus I decided to buy some mushrooms to grow in here.
I'm hoping the temperatures will be high enough since I have not heating...
Let's see if I get to eat any!
@rastinza you can make a "controlled environment" using an old aquarium for example.

You could use an heated pad for warming the area of the mushrooms.
What specie are you going to grow?
@marghera I got some oyster mushrooms.
I guess I could just buy a plastic box and use that to control the environment, but I'm quite unsure how an heated pad might help since it would still need ventilation and the room containing it is not heated.
Outside temperature during the day is around 10°C and I guess room temperature might be slightly above that.
Do you believe it may grow at these temperatures? I'm not really aiming for the best yield, as long as I get something out of it it's fine.
@rastinza you can also put the substrate into a transparent plastic bag without the plastic box, place the heating mat under the plastic box.
You can get an idea from here

Sorry for the magic mushrooms shop link, but it is the best guide there is for termo mats, you can look at the kit they use and get some ideas from them.
Mushrooms are fun!
@rastinza you could place a metal plate and a small candle under it you need to play with distance and thickness/material of plate to get the right temperature.
A tiny candle will do a lot, happy experimenting and let us know what worked.
