Internal temperature of mycelium
    #23647304 - 09/15/16 11:56 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I've read a lot recently that mycelium generates heat while its colonizing a sub.
Just wondering if that's true and if so about how much heat.
Also wouldn't this mean you should incubate a little bit cooler so it does t get to warm in the center of your sub?

I have always felt the temp rise is greatly exagerrated. In big commercial composts it would certainly be an issue but not much for small grows.

What temperature are you growing in? you should not be using an incubator unless necessary, and if you have to be very cautious, most are far too powerful. I use a heater myself but its only about 2W of power, most incubator heaters are 50-100 times more powerful.

If you grow at lower temperature it will colonise slower, so less heat is generated per day and there is more time for this heat to be lost to the surroundings.

The biggest trip of my life was realizing all of the events and actions described in posts made by this account were never real and had never actually happened, but were instead the delusional ramblings of a severely mentally ill human being. I just had to move on for my own good. I love you all.

I have an infrared thermometer can could spot check the temp of anything instantly and in regards to quart jars, they aren't ever much hotter than 1-2F degrees than the surrounding room temperature. Spawn bags, on the other hand (OTOH), were always about 4-5F hotter than the ambient temperature as they have way more activity and fungi colonizing inside.

Nah, it's not a big deal. You shouldn't be incubating anyway unless you can't maintain normal room temperature.  If it's TOO hot, though, you definitely want to cool the space so that you don't make it optimal for bacteria to grow. (Bacteria love 80F+ temps.)

65-75F, stop incubating unless you can't reach those temps.
