hello how to incubate large quantities of spawn grains while managing the temperature? I saw that there are those who use laboratory incubators but the problem is that it is expensive and small impossible to make a large amount of bag, any advice? Thank you

Closet with a heater with an actual temperature setting by numbers so you can get exact temperature readings. Which also works great if you are making hard cider.

Alot of the species grown here do fine in a large range of temperatures.
Incubation is not usually necessary.

yas champ, just a simple space heater with digital thermostat control so you can set the precise temperature you want you closet to maintain. Just don't put anything near the heater of course. Make sure it has space surrounding it and that nothing could fall on it. The same as if you were using it in a living room. But since you would be using a small closet it will be able to maintain temperature easy enough without costing an arm and a leg and your first born.
Something like this : https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Degree-Digital-Surround-Forced/dp/B017SFYPDM/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=heater+with+digital+thermostat&qid=1578405834&sr=8-4 but I have no clue if this model is any good.
Although Oil Filled radiant heaters are the most cost effective such as : https://www.amazon.com/Aireplus-Radiator-Adjustable-Thermostat-Protection/dp/B07X9M8HDY/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=heater+with+digital+thermostat&qid=1578405837&sr=8-11 But again I have no clue if this particular model works well. But you can get the idea of the types I am referring to with the digital thermostat control.
