I would say, depending on how much time you have for this hobby, that a mini greenhouse is the best bet




^^^^^ :thumbup:
A fully automated portable greenhouse is what I use. It's sitting on a board which rests on two wooden 4x4s to elevate it off of the wooden floor. On top of the board I built a container to catch the condensed water out of the carton that the greenhouse came in and lined it with a heavy duty plastic sheet like it is used for garden ponds. The benefit is that the dimensions are exactly those of the greenhouse. I made a drainage and sealed it with aquarium silicone. I have a cool mist with a 5 liter tank. So all that I am required to do is to refill the tank every 2-3 days and drain the bottom every other week. Not really a part time job and I am getting great results.

I have been to K and Wal-Mart and can only find the rubbermaid closets with the breathable fabric type of cover.  Inexpensive at approx $26 I settled and brought one home.  I then lined it thoroughly with plastic and duct tape.  I made an accessory panel for the ultra-sonic and cool mist inputs.  I have it balanced out at 99% RH with the cool mist running one hour on/ 2 off and the ultrasonic 15 mins every 90 mins.  The cost to set up was not bad at all...less than a year's worth of good mushies.
martha      = $26
Ultrasonic  = $45
cool mist  = $25
wire shelving=$15
lights, timers
and ext cords=$35

best $146 I ever spent, I can fit 30 6L shoebox trays in there which could effectively produce various edibles for local restaraunts!!!!

^^^QFT!
I can't wait for spring to happen. I have already started acquiring everything I need for an outdoor mushroom garden. I have reserved a shady and damp corner of the garden for that purpose and I am going to grow a variety of edibles on logs and straw and also set up an azures patch. :crazy2:

That's the exact same thing I have. Cost me 19 Euros.
BTW, awesome grows, man! May I ask what bulk substrate you are using?

Same question, plus how much standing water do you have in the floor?  Or, am I just seeing the picture wrong... :lol:

You DO have drop water from the cool mist fog condensing on the inside of the greenhouse. Like I said. The solution is to build yourself a tray out of the carton that the greenhouse came in and line it with some heavy duty plastic sheeting and then add a drainage and elevate it off the floor. The drainage I made out of a nozzle of one of those silicon tubes. They come with a lid to stop the Martha from simply going incontinent and pissing all over the floor, because mine is in my bedroom, not in the garage.
Like this:



That's like the nozzle with lid that I used, pushed through a hole I made in the bottom side of my water catching tray. I simply "borrowed" the nozzle from another tube when I bought the silicon to seal the rims of the drainage so the water wouldn't get into the cardboard.
