Temperature swings in LC room

Today the power went out and the temps in the fruiting room dropped from 75 to probably 62 right now. This morning i could see that the spores started to germinate. Will this temperature drop affect the growth of the mycelium in the LC completely or will it just be stalled for a couple of days? I assume that such a drop would be worse during the fruiting stages. Thanks for any help regarding this

mycelium will still grow at low 60's just a bit slower.

Dont worry about the temp swing.. My entire grow op is at room temp.. The room usually falls to 58-62 degrees at night cause my wife always has the window open.. But usually averages about 70-72 degrees during the day.. The only thing you should worry about are high temps over 78 degrees, the higher the temp the easier it is for contams to start to grow..

Cool thanks a lot guys. I wanted to ask you personally Damion. What temp water do you add to your substrate when pasteruizing. Monstermitch says 170 for the bucket tek which i will be doing. Maybe something like 190 initially would be better?

Per my coir tek I let the water start boiling and dump it in the bucket. So what is that 212 degrees. The temp usually comes down to around 170 degrees within 20-30 minutes then with the lid on the bucket it will maintain 150+ for 2-4 hours..

Update: Temperatures went as low as 34 last night because the power was out. I am hoping my LC will be fine. I am sure not many have had experience keeping their LC in such low temps, but does anyone know how this will effect the growth? I assume that it will be halted and not kill it due to being able to store jars in the fridge. 34 is pretty low though.
