I usually don't grow in the summer due to the heat and I'm struggling to get my ass in gear for this winter. I usually have about 4 varieties I grow, blue oysters, pinks, lion's mane and pioppinos.

Sounds like a purpose built enclosure is the way to go...

    You can get solid results with a 5-gal bucket, a trash bag, and an outdoor spot in the shade.

    A tent is a great upgrade at scale but overkill when growing casually; don’t let it stop you.

    100% - I gave my parents in law a 5 gal bucket to grow their own at home, and it flushed 5 or 6 times before they emptied it into the compost. Masters mix with boiled water poured over top, I thought it would contaminate because it wasn't properly sterilized, but had no issues colonizing.

    There are cheaper options than a tent setup, you can find lots of little tutorials online. For a couple of years I used a 'shotgun fruiting chamber', it's a tote with lots of tiny holes drilled in it, and some damp perlite in the bottom. You mist the inside and occasionally lift the lid to introduce fresh air.
