Need ideas for a small fruiting chamber a.s.a.p

A friend of mine has this casing in a small bread pan. It is pinning wonderfully but the pins are almost touching the saran wrap his incubator/fruiting chamber is current occupied by some jars and myco bags. He cant find anything in the house he could put it in so he asked me to ask you guys for ideas. Open air fruiting would be a huge risk of contams would it not? He was thinking of sticking a pencil or something in the middle and making a sort of tent of saran wrap. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I'd also like to hear you guys' thougths on this. I'll be fruiting in a relatively compact area.

Why not buy a plastic tray with the same dimensions as the metal pan and put it directly over your casing pan upside down like a clear dome. You could then put duct tape around the crease of the pan and tray and leave some holes for air exchange. I think that could work nicely since you could easily remove the duct tape when you need to and reapply it since it stays sticky for a long time.

Bleach or alcohol might be bad for your babies, so perhaps a hydrogen peroxide/water mix is in order?
Also, consider styrofoam coolers, other kinds of coolers, take a frickin' box and line it with saran wrap, an old computer case, a washtub, a bucket, a busket, a bigole pot...
just brainstorming here.

You're gonna want to use the garbage bag to just line the walls, so it's big enough to not get in the way of your growing fruit. So perhaps cut it up and tape it in place so it covers all of the inside without sagging too much and getting in the way.

No ziplock bags I think im going to try the carboard box with garbage bag fruiting chamber. Do you think it will be prone to more contams then a regular plastic container?

Shouldn't be since your going to line your cardboard box with plastic.

cut slits in the saran wrap above your growing pins.
