keeping my martha cool?

I seem to have a problem keeping my marthas temp down to the proper fruiting temps(70 to 74 right?). They seem to stay at about the 80 to 84 range. I already have my AC down to 73 the outside temps is in the lower to mid 80s. I fan it to get the temp down about 4 or 5 times a day. but I built a Martha, which works great aside from the temp issue, to get away from having to fan it all the time, so if anybody has a good way to keep my martha cool any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks

I am running a cool mist 24 hours a day the room temp is in the mid 70s sometimes it will get a little hot about 80 or 82 something like that. have both cakes and casings in there the cakes are just starting to fruit but the casing is starting to get fully colonized. I don't want it to get overlay ed or anything.thanks again

if you can keep your room at 71 to 74 you are good i know cause i also have a greenhouse and im only running a coolmist and my temps are at 74,but it also feels warmer to u because the rh is high but that does not make your thermo change, im just telling you by feel it will feel warm, but do what i say and you will be great!!!!i run a ultrasonic before pinning 10 mins every 2 hours!!!

well the room is upstairs and the AC doesn't work as well up there so short of turning it down to 65 down here, which makes my bills go up, which is what I am also trying to stray from. Will the ultrasonic fogger cool it down any or is that for some other reason? because as luck would have it I was at petsmart the other day and found two foggers for 20 dollars where they were marked for 35 dollars.

drop some ice in the cool mist. i know it sounds like a bit of a hassle, but its the simplest solution i can think of. just gotta decide if your babies are worth the trouble.
