Did my temps kill the spores?

I inoculated with MS 8 days ago and have no sign of mycelium. I know it can take up to 3 weeks but i was thinking if my temps couldve fucked something up. For 4-5 days it got up to 90ish in my room. I recently bought an ac and keep it on power saver mode to keep a stead 76 now but could those high heat days killed my spores?
Jars smell like brf, no rotton apple smell or anything. Should i scratch these and use the rest of my syringe to start over now since i have the ac or wait? All my jars are in use so i cant start a new batch at least until i get paid to get more jars.
Syringw was also bought from a sponsor.

I'd say give it a little more time before you get worried.

I think you'll be ok. Wait a little longer.
But you should get another project going too. Just buy more jars.

Temps in the 90s won't flat out kill your spores or germinated mycelium, but you're smart for getting an air conditioner, because it's far from ideal.

The main problem with high temps is that they encourage bacterial growth IME and from what I've read. When I started I left a few spawn jars in the sun cause my house was super cold. The strip where the sunlight got very hot and intense refused to colonize, and I assume bacterially contaminated.
I see no reason to scrap your project. Spore germination can be tricky to see on cakes. I did grains and cakes when I started, and if I recall I didn't see anything on my cakes for around 1.5 weeks, while I noticed growth on my grains after 3-4 days. Perhaps the growth began internally.
If 90F killed the spores, it'd be a pretty weaksauce tropical organism
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...
