the light on top of the lid like that will not suffice...my guess is it will melt and warp the lid if ran for 12hrs a day...just make a saran wrap window with some clear packing tape in the lid.
and if that is suppose to be a shotgun fruiting chamber, get rid of the humidifier, get enough perlite to make it 4-5 inches deep and put 1/4" holes every 2" on all 6 sides...also lose the bin....u will not need it....and raise the sgfc so air can pass under it.

Bro you are probably fine, don't worry about being "proper" mushrooms tend to grow in all sorts of locations and I'd like to see if your set up turns out well. If not, you could always change it up.
The light is a concern though. I'd be worry about over heating. It should be mentioned mushrooms are not like weed in that fact they need that light to save their lives. Mushrooms just need light to let them know it's time to fruit, so consider something much smaller.
If you didn't already know, in the case you did oh well!

Thank you for the ideas. I was only using the light to show my setup. I'm actually using a short string of white Xmas lights.

light is not just a pinning trigger, mushies do derive energy from it.
thats why the caps get much larger when you add a light.

debatable. i think the cap size is just genetics.

It's not. Light is a large factor. Light should be 6500k spectrum.

I respectfully disagree. You can half ass it, or you can do it right. Half assing it will get you half ass results. As a new grower one should always stick to proven teks, without deviation. Wait until you have some experience and knowledge of the processes involved before you deviate from the teks.
Just my two cents.
OP, build a proper sgfc. You'll thank yourself for it. Here's a link: Constructing Your Terrarium/Fruiting Chamber

Just posting an update. 2 of my 9 jars are almost ready to be put into the fruiting chamber. They are all doing very well! I'll post some pics after the pins start to form.
