Irene, WELCOME!

>>>>>>Right now I'm wondering how to keep a cup of compost + grain flour at=
 80 F for 48 hours in order to see if I can grow fungi. I could put it in t=
he oven, but then what might I be encouraging to take up residence in my ki=
tchen??

You can use a seed germinating mat, place it on top of the refrig if there =
is room, put it on top of a water heater or keep it in the furnace room. I=
n addition, the fungi will grow at room temperature. They just take longer =
to get going. Try baby oatmeal. It seems to do the trick.

Cheers,

Jeff
