Fruiting Temperatures of 66-70

This is my first grow this far out from the equator, and while I did know to keep my incubator between 75-80, my fruiting chambers are not temperature controlled, meaning that I've had 4x 4-5" trays fruiting for a 1 week @ 66-68 with no action whatsoever.
Mycelial growth seems to have stalled, uncased trays arent showing any action, and my 1" layer on cased trays has not been pierced yet.
I'm guessing I let these ladies get too cold?

66-68F will still produce mushrooms, so temperature is not a variable.

Pics would help raise more attention and let people see what is going on.
Also, they are not ladies.

1 inch is a reasonable thickness, is it not? I cased a couple of crumbled cake trays with 1/2" 50/50+ and it took a week and a couple of days.
I'd say patience, and make sure your casing layer is moist. I'm just guessing though.

1 " casing layer , is , IMO , far too thick . I never used more than a 1/2" layer whenever I used one .
Your temp is fine . I like it at 70 for fruiting . Should be about a 10 degree temp drop for fruiting
Peace,Love and Happiness

I'm going to thin the casing layer on the big tray.

The setup is a prototype for a little side project I made for myself. Its connected to a homer bucket+ultrasonic+12vdc blower fan. Theres a sensor in the tub that tells a little box about temp+humidity, and when humidity goes below 90, it kicks in the humidifier until humidity is as high as the sensor can read. The goal was to be able to set this up so that anyone could keep proper rh levels regardless of time, experience, or what have you.
My current issue is that the humidity sensors im working with really can't handle anything above 80rh consistently.

I know I could just go with a tub and occasionally fanmist it, but I just can't operate like that. I want to be able to keep humidity+FAE exactly where I want them, when I want them.
I get off on the idea that there is a little thing I created making sure that my mushies are given ridiculously over-pandering conditions.
Here is the second tub in the setup, 2 costa ricans cased 1/4" deep on 4" cocobucks.

The uncased one on the right got put in yesterday, and it looks like its knotting already. Im looking forward to seeing the side by side yield numbers on cased vs uncased.

They are going to fruit slower at lower temps but I find they can be denser fruits I always fruit between 63-68 just have more patience in the lower temps

I once had an martha closet that I had to leave outdoors in the florida heat for an entire grow.
I'm sure that there is an ideal fruiting temp, but the beasts (size of my forearm) I was picking from trays at 90+ degree tells me you're going to be perfectly happy with 75-77.

75 is perfectly fine they are cubes so there very forgiving temperature wise ive had some colonise and fruit at 80 fresh air exchange and humidity are more important for initiating pinning and fruiting, good luck
