Fruiting in high temps?
    #23512099 - 08/05/16 09:15 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

First post, first grow using pf cakes and B+ strain. I know from reading here that ideal temps for fruiting are 70-75, with 80 being an upper limit. My house gets significantly hotter than that, upwards of 90F on the hottest days and rarely below 80 in the afternoon. With that said, I inoculated a set of 10 cakes and 9 are now fully colonized and beginning to pin with a few growing large primordia. They are now soaking before going into my sgfc.

My question is can I fruit in these temperatures if the cakes fully colonized and are pinning? There isn't  be another 90+ day for the foreseeable future, so I'm probably looking at mid 80s. These cakes survived temps at least as high as 96.

My only other option is the basement which is significantly cooler, but not the cleanest environment. It's largely unfinished and one corner tends to leak during heavy rain so I'm worried about possible mildew down there. Would I be better off trying them upstairs in the heat or taking my chances in the basement? Any suggestions?

They fruit in 90-100+ in Florida and Texas.

Colonization should be kept below 80F but fruiting is fine from 65-90f

That's what I've read on here. Colonization temps are more critical than fruiting. I figure if they survived the brutal last month we've had and still fully colonized they should be fine to fruit.

Cakes are pretty contam resistant once fully colonized.  I don't think the basement would be that big of a deal.  Especially when you are choosing what may be the lesser of two evils.

Hotter temps make it easier for contams to get a foothold.  A mildewy basement may have more contam spores floating around it (maybe not?)

Also, there are reports of fruits having hollow stems and not weighing much when dried due to growing in warmer temps.  And vice versa, reports have shown fruits with thicker, solid stems when grown at lower temps.  However, at lower temps it seems these denser fruits take longer to grow.  I can't say this is proven for sure though.

Hot weather is ok, as long as it gets lots of fresh air.

It's best to fruit them 70-75 range.  This causes the mushrooms to grow slower, and develop more dense and meaty stipes as opposed to hollow ones you might see if you fruit them faster at a higher temp.  Generally try to keep it below 80 F if you can help it. 

Just did some B+, and I've had a lot of success with it, especially in the 70 degree range, and even with bacterial spawn.  Cubes are resilient as it is but the B+ has been one of the most environmentally tough strains I've obtained. 

Just did this




And now I have this to look forward to also


Good luck and Cheers buddy.

Well the basement is 73 degrees so I guess I'll put them down there and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestions.
