Air Conditioning. I was in your position, and i bit the bullet and went and got one. Works well, definitely worth it for the fruits i got.

lower the temperature in the room

get a/c.

if you only lower the temp in the fruiting chamber,
you will get a bad case of condensation.
I see it as a futile effort.

cool the whole room.
you wouldn't want to live in a 90 degree room would you?

you can try the frozen milk jugs or whatever, but
I have no luck with that.

keep your moisture in your substrate where it belongs.
get a cheap a/c unit that goes in a window.

One cheap solution is to get some water bottles. freeze them and place in the chamber. Freeze multiple bottles so you can rotate them as needed. Granted this is only a temp. solution and eventually you'll need to fork out for the A/C like they said.

You could try a swamp cooler.

Well unfortunately ac is not within my current reach. And this is the room I live in and it is 90 degrees so i understand how the mushrooms feel.
As for moving to Washington... thats funny I'm moving there in 4 months..
swamp cooler I'll have to search that and try it...
current method I'm trying is a second container (same as fruiting chamber) with a layer of ice at the bottom and the inside the second container sitting on the ice... (if this is bad please inform me) It is too early to tell if it will work but i am fortunate enough to have an ice maker if it does work.
I have also tried ice packs in the chamber and I do fan.

A variation on the swamp cooler thing to try is to lay a wet towel over the chamber and blow a fan on that. As the water evaporates off the towel it will pull heat out of the chamber.

Well its been about 24 hours since i set the fruiting chamber in the other tub with ice. It lowered the temperature to 68 degrees until about 2 hours ago... TIME TO CHANGE THE ICE SOON! It worked wonders for the temp 22-23 degrees temperature drop... There however is a problem it lowered my humidity to about 70 %. I've got a cool mist humidifier though so I've got that covered. I never did figure out what a swamp cooler was but in my searchings yesterday (i admit i didn't dig TOO deep for an answer). If anybody wants to throw me a bone and just explain swamp cooler to me that'd be nice I'll definitely look into it. Thanks all you wonderful shroomers for your help! peace. Wish me luck!

Buy some ice packs - they last longer than just frozen ice + they are relatively cheap! Works for me!

A swamp cooler is an evaporative cooler. Basically a pump pumps water up to the top of some sort of non absorbent wick and the water flows back down into the reservoir. There is a fan in front of the wick that blows air across it. The evaporation of the water is quite effective at dropping the air temp. It's effectiveness depends on the humidity in your area though.
