Sterilite shoebox with snap on grey lid/FAE

Only shoeboxes I can find right now are the ones with the plain grey snap on lids, I used to be able to get the shoeboxes with the latches, which would provide FAE. With the regular shoebox ones with the snap on grey lids, how do you provide gas exchange and FAE? Do you just put the lid on but don't snap it on? So the lid is just sitting loose on top? Do you just let the mushrooms push the lid off?

put them in a monotub to colonize.

pop the lids off and fruit them in a monotub.

I'm trying to do the unmodified route... Do I have to modify the monotub in anyway? And what is the reasoning for doing it like this than any other shoebox?

You can do what Munchauzen said if you have monotubs sitting around...
Otherwise just resting the lid on top without latching it should provide enough gas exchange. An alternative option is just putting a bag over top the shoebox and punching some holes in it.

I don't use unmodified tubs so can't help ya there.
the benefit to this method is they are set and forget and you don't have to mist them. letting them sit out they tend to dry out.

I use the 1642 with a white lid, but I've seen them with silver lids too. They're not airtight even with it snapped on, which is how they stay until the pins get too big, then they get dub tubbed. May not be the absolutely "best" way, but it's hard to argue with the results.

You could also just flip the lid over.

As long as the lid doesn’t have some sort of rubber gasket it’ll be fine. I’ve got a couple types of shoeboxes with a mix of white and grey lids that all work the same.

How do you do yours? Do you snap the lid on and leave it until the they’re pushing the top and then loosen it? Or do you just turn it upside from the very beginning at spawning?
I’m trying to get an idea of how to do it with these basic kind of shoeboxes because that’s all that is around right now. I always would use one with latches that I could prop open if needed, etc.

Just snap it on and see how it goes. It should be plenty of air. Then if it seems to be holding moisture ok try flipping it once there’s pins.
When I first started I tried all kinds of stuff to see what happened and how far I could push it. A few of the first ones came out a little off but I learned a lot quick.

I use the 6qt shoeboxes mine have white lids but I just keep them snapped down until I need to dub tub them. I still open them every day from spawn to fruiting to check surface conditions. Seems to work fine

I’ve noticed in older pictures they seem to have much flatter rims that dubbed way easier. is that what’s changed?

Nice growth! You can do what Munchauzen said if you have monotubs sitting around.

I'm using the new silver lid ones just fine. I do have them in a tote but just for storage purposes. Colonizing quite quickly currently.
Will pop the lid just like an unmodified mono when it's time for fruiting.

So you fruit them in a monotub also? There’s no way just to fruit these type of shoeboxes themselves in an unmodified way by having a small gap for FAE?

They’re fine by themselves but if you notice a problem with them drying out you can put them in monos is what it boils down to.
The only thing important about the lid is if it’s sealed air tight or not. I’ve fruited shoeboxes and other random junk with plastic sheets, Saran Wrap and foil as a lid. As long as there’s fae but not enough to dry it out the other details are irrelevant.
