There's also contams in the air, but you don't go around spraying Lysol in your fruiting chamber, do you? A good rule of thumb is to keep the fruiting chamber at least 2 feet off the ground.

its a tray made of aluminium, to be accurate, foil, and i have sterilized it with alcohol, and put a black plastic bag, two layers on the bottom and the sides of the tray from inside, and then sterilized it too, then i started spawning, and covered it with a sterilized tin foil cover, made some holes for FGE and covered it with micropore tape to act as a filter, and there is another tray under the SGFC, its used to absorb the water coming off the SGFC, i hope that makes you imagine the whole thing, i always spray the room with rubbing alcohol, and keep everything sterile, there are two holes but i just started fanning few hours ago,now its about 1.70 cm off the ground, and its just doing fine, the humidity is between 95-100% and the temp is between 22-25C i fan twice or three times a day because we have a very high humidity in our country, especially in my room it gets to about 67%.

Unnecessary, fruiting is not sterile. The fully colonized mycelial network will be able to fight off contaminates on its own.

Tape the holes with micropore tape to allow for some FAE.

Why do people think rubbing alcohol works without rubbing? That's why its called rubbing alcohol. You can't just spray it in the air and watch it evaporate and say "everything is dead" U must rub with your rubbing alcohol

People who spray ISO into the air thinking it kills everything.
It doesn't.
You must have movement and a small amount of elbow grease to kill anything

It's not a "sterile air box", its "STILL" air. No sense in trying to disinfect it completely. Just spray some water and keep everything moist in there to trap contams against the sides of the box. Try to keep your movements inside very precise and don't place your hands over any open media, and you should be very successful

When you are inoculating jars or plates, you don't want your hands hovering over the jar, only the flamed utensil that you're using. Here's a good right-up to explain the process, take a look! http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21889950
