How hot for fastest colonization?

Right now i've got the thermostat around 23 celcius, but i've heard anywhere from 20-30 celcius, so I was wondering what the best heat was IYHO

Keep it at about 24-26 if you can.

23c is about perfect for anything up to a quart in size. 

Any sort of bulk substrate or large spawn bags and you want 21c or lower.  Reason being, as the mycelium colonizes the substrate it puts off heat.  The larger the substrate the more heat that can build up.

25C to 26C is even better for 1/2 pint jars, but there's no benefit to going higher.  With larger substrates, that could easily prove too warm.

I had some hot weather last week and had a little test grow colonizing in straight coir as high as 28C... I was a little worried, but it seems to have come through it okay and it colonized QUICK!
