Family is Coming - I Have to Put the SGFC in the Garage for a Few Days & Need Advice

Okay, so I have a load of family coming and I have my mushrooms. They are just starting to fruit (Penis Envy & B+) and I have to put them in the garage. Houston weather is what it is and I expect it to be chilly in there. I have to keep them there for about a week.
Are there any special things I should do to preserve them while the family is here?

Just tell your family that your growing some oysters or shitake or some other edible they wont know the difference. But what are the temps in your garage?

I expect them to be in the 40F's to high 60'sF this time of year. I am hoping that will just slow down fruiting and kind of hold everything in stasis for those days until I can get things back to normal.

IME it'll just slow things down... i've never done it during fruiting but i do the same thing during tray or bag colonization sometimes when i have guests and it always turns out ok. use a lazer thermometer to find the warmest spot in your garage and put it there.

Why can you just put it in a closet or something in your house where noone would be going?

hes talking family. nothing is safe.
the garage thing isnt safe, hes just hoping it is, and were sorta playing along.
plan 2 would be shock collars all around , an invisible perimeter fence, steel doors and deadbolts.

QFT.
Or put the damn thing in your bedroom. Family shouldn't be allowed in there.

In my case, I live in a one bedroom apartment, granted it's a large one bedroom, but one bedroom none the less; so space is limited. It's my girlfriends parents and I think they're scumbags for cramping 5 adults in a one bedroom apartment - it's just a bold gesture to assume they can stay here.
Opps - I'll stop now, just talking about it is getting me pissed.

I know, but we will have small kids coming and you know that if I have it in the house then they will find it and be playing with it. If I put it in the garage and put a trash bag over it I have a chance. I just don't know what will happen to these two beautiful trays of evil spawn.

Not to hijack your thread, but here is why I'm pissed. I just took this pic right now! There are going to be many mushrooms that will need to be harvested this weekend!
Not sure what I can do - harvest early or assume they will go out for several hours and do it then.

Have them in your private master bathroom if you have one, and occasionally take massive shits?

Put it up on a shelf in your closet? IDK man. Looks like the garage is your best option.
mycomattie - those will be ready to harvest tomorrow morning, most likely.

could you not just add a couple of space heaters to your garage? Also wont putting a garbage bag over everything lower the FAE to a detrimental level?

Nope, I don't - and what sucks is they sleep in the bedroom and my gf and I on an air mattress in the living room. Maybe I should make a "destroying angel" mushroom pizza for them; I'm sure they'll be hungry after the long drive.

That may work out just perfect - thanks.
