Poor mans terrarium?

sup guys,I have 4 fully colonized cakes and I need to make a terrarium,how would I go about doing this?
Limitations

  • Can't use electricity(which means no pump)
  • Has to be kind of small 1-2ft.high,2ft. wide,and 1ft. long are the max.
  • Don't have any perlite(reason why im not following the poor mans terrarium tek)

  • and also it would be nice if I could do it from things around the house.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a fish tank with rocks in it you can sacrifice? That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Rubbermaid tubs, Trashbags in cardboard boxes with saranwrap on the top.......

Hand spray them often.

Sand or gravel (wash it lol)in the bottom stead of perilite.

rubbermaid tub, few holes in there for ventilation. A medium that can be dampened for moisture (in replace of perlite.) Hand spray, but you have to use the terrarium made for hand spraying, just look it up quick. Stay sterile, should be all good.

You are really not trying to grow mush too hard if you can't put $10 and a bit of effort in it.

What he said ^^^^^ you want to build a shotgun terrarium and it will require perlite, a clear tub, and access to a drill... As he mentioned it will cost about 10$, so start saving your allowance, haha.

Its not that I don't have enough to buy the perlite and the bin,its that it needs to be stealth and I cant afford a car(fuck being self sufficient in college).Do you know how difficult it is to ride a bicycle with a big bin and some perlite?No? Oh I didnt think so,well its hard as shit HENCE why I put the "limitations" part.
 
Well I just got some perlite and a 53L bin.Is there any way I can make a terrarium without drilling the shit out of it?I Want to re-use it after for other things.

you can but it wont work nearly as good as it would with the holes, why not just reuse it for more mushrooms man.
