Cooling down Substrate.

I'm a bit worried about how hot it has been so far this year, I have nowhere cool in my home. Has anyone got any devices or ways to help me keep my Mushrooms growing at a good temperature?
Thanks.

I have the same issue, temps in the room I keep things in tends to get up to 84F on the hottest days. I even have a fan pointed in the room on those days. Could you place a fan to help circulate the air?

Yea but if your area is 84° the air circulating is still 84°. Ac is about your only option. Thank god its only been in the upper 80s a few days where im at, or else it gets way to hot.

Fan seems to cool the room down for me? I have it in the middle of the doorway pointing from a room that has ac in it though. So I have the fan blowing cool air from an air conditioned room, into the room that seems to get high temp. I hope you can figure something out and ill be paying attention here too because I need this help just as badly.

The best thing you can do is focus on clean spawn. If you have really solid spawn, i imagine it'll be just fine getting up to 84 here and there

Fans blowing around will do little to reduce ambient room temperature. An exhaust fan might work. An AC unit is your best option. Just make sure to be diligent in cleaning out the filter in the back.

high temps are fine. this species regularly grows in 95 degree temps in nature.
if you're worried about high temps encouraging bacteria growth, just increase FAE

All these tubs were fruited in high 80s last summer
   
High temps make them grow fast, thus the busted caps. If your spawn is clean high temps aren't a death sentence. If your spawn is shit molds will definitely exploit high temps
