Thank you ROGER RABBIT!!! in the past 30 years they've found it to be fruit in even colder...40's pretty low...the temp was 60 they wouldn't fruit...but 40s....that just made me smile
I had a buddy who had a oyster monotub and put his in the freezer and forgot about it for a bit...it STILl colonized even in those freezing temps.....IM glad you brought this up

There must be strains that are more or less suited to colder temperatures. There are a lot of strains collected from different locations. You would think that the ones found at higher elevations and further north would be more suited to their colder environments than southern and coastal strains would be.

Redboy fruits in very cold conditions and it's a cross between PR and a Florida coastal strain.

I'm guessing that the numbers posted have been measurments of the air temp. Probably taken a few feet off of the ground.
This brings up new questions, but back to my first one for now.
I should have asked: What are some of your lowest colinization temps?
Some new questions.
Anyone have stats on soil temps and fruiting?
Does the soil/air temp ratio have an effect on fruiting?

I tried to leave my signature but it didn't work...
By the way... Does anybody know how to get sharpie markers off of a computer screen?

I left some pf jars in a cold garage during the winter, when the garage temps were in the 30's and 40's. It took about two months, but they colonized fully.

i really do not believe that "strain" even matters, they are all the same mushroom Psilocybe cubensis.
but if i believed that there was a difference, i would contact the Peaceful Nomad, now known as Peaceful Nomad II. he found cubensis growing in the month of November in northern Kansas, growing next to snow.

I had some friends find some cubensis or subcubensis growing on horse manure in W.V. in the month of April I believe. Maybe even March. I can't remember, i'll have to check on that. Regardless, it was rather chilly when they found them while hunting Morels. I keep goofing up the culturing work. There is another species of mushroom that has contaminated the spore print that I have and like a dumby I misplaced the isolate I had cultured from some dry specimens they brought to me. I'll have to get back on this one in the morning. I've been really busy and somewhat slack on my mushroom work.
Here's a fruiting I got from an outdoor bed I did last year. This is where the spore print came from. I can't find the original isolate for the life of me. I hide stuff away sometimes in a hurry, so Lord only know where it could be.
It was very cold when this bed fruited. High 30's low 40's during the day and near freezing at night.

Ya the Oh Canada strain was a fraud I thought and nothing actually came out of it. Was just an overpriced cubie renamed. I think the vendor was banned or something and that was how I read about it.
