Its getting cold outside - temperature drop.

I have problems to keep the temperature high in my home, i cant turn on the heating all the time, it would be too expensive It takes alot of times until pins appear, so i thought why not placing a heating mat beneath the terrarium on this way the whole mycelium brick would be warmed buttom up?

thats a good idea actually, as it also causes air circulation (no CO2 accumulating in the mycelium/at the bottomof the tub).
I´m having the same problem now. I have my mycelium in bowls in my fruiting chamber, and in the middle between the bowls I´ve got a big beer mug (i think the english word for it is "stein"?) full of water with an aquarium heater in it. provides constant high temperature and high rH at the same time. But for a normal monotub it may not be the best method, of course.

direct heat to your bulk sub is not a good idea. try the search function, see what happened to all those other grows. Try to find a smaller room you can heat up.

I agree with spacechild. Just get a small space heater.

Interesting, especially the aquarium heater inside the water, to provide rh. My fruiting chamber is actually pretty simple, but i didnt had any problems so far, except the long time to wait for the pins to appear, which i think its taking so long because of the low temperature, i got like 18°degrees in my flat.

The aquarium heater in a bottle is not for rh, it works as a heat bomb. I used one when I had to incubate during the winter, but some of my jars ended up too close to the heat bomb and dried out way too fast.
My apartment is 18c as well, my shrooms are doing just fine. Fruiting in lower temps also restricts hollow stems, and imo is worth the little extra time it takes.
It also seems they're somewhat more potent, but I have no way to say for sure, it's all relative AND I'm using MS.. But I think it's an old belief that might have something to it.

No, it's a terrible idea that's failed hundreds of times before. It doesn't cause air circulation, it causes condensation on the sides.
Furthermore, CO2 doesn't pool up in the bottom of fruiting chambers.
If it's too cold, you're supposed to heat the room it's in. RR

Heating pads dry out your sub. Gotta find a safe way to warm up your grow space man.

So how important is the right temperature for the fruiting process? If my shrooms grow anyway, i could better wait a bit longer, it doesnt stop them from fruiting, it just takes longer if the temperature isnt ideal, for example 18° degrees like in my flat.. probably even lowers the risk of contamination...(but im not sure about that one);>

Why dont you just buy a reptile infrared heat lamp($10) and a reptile heat sensor which turns off the lamp once it gets at a certain temperature($40)
