Meat thermometer??
    #23388985 - 06/27/16 08:27 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

I've been looking into analog thermometers. I've read that people use meat thermometers and I see they have them on mycosupply.

Wouldn't the meat thermometers measure the temperature of the bulk substrate and not the area surrounding the mushrooms?  Wouldn't the substrate temperature differ, and which area is supposed to be the focus for the temperature regulation?

Substrate will be hotter.  Low temp isn't a huge issue, but high can be.


If u nab a remote thermometer unit, then it makes measuring pasteurization a breeze

You regulate the temperature of the room. Substrates produce heat of their own. You regulate FAE mainly on tubs by adjusting.

You could use a meat thermometer to pasteurize with though.

in all seriousness though you can get thermo/hydrometers for like 10$ at lowes that work great and are small enough to put in your basic grow tub

Thats what I was thinking. Would the thermometer that stick to the inside walls be a better choice or would the airflow affect the temperature, not making it accurate too? I plan to do the msg hybrid if that helps

Why do you want a thermometer in your tub(?)?

What's the full title of "msg hybrid"? Mono shotgun hybrid, never mind me.

That's really not needed. If you know the temp outside of your tub, then the inside is not going to be more than a couple of degrees more at most during any point. The only time mycelium produces a significant heat difference would be during colonization imo. If it's that important for science then you might as well spend $20-30 on a infared thermal heat gun.
