Get a large, tight-sealing rubbermaid-type bin (18″ long x 12″ wide x 9″ high) with lid and some perlite (10 dry qt. bag, very cheap and easy to find at your local garden store). The rubbermaid bins make good fruiting chambers and the perlite is used to provide humidity. A bin that will allow light to pass through is ideal. If you can’t find such a bin, then you may have to get a dark-colored one, cut out the center portion of the lid, and then cover the cut out area of the lid with clear plastic material. If you have to cut and cover with plastic, it is important to make sure there are no holes and no gaps in the plastic material. If there are holes or gaps in the plastic it will be very hard to maintain proper humidity within the fruiting chamber. Tight sealing glass terrariums are an excellent alternative to rubbermaid-style fruiting chambers.
