Chestnut Mushroom Pholiota adiposa Grow Parameters

I am going to try to grow a small batch of Chestnut mushrooms in my SGFC. I have been looking for grow parameters and I only found a small amount of information. Can anyone help fill out (or correct) the table below? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Period Temp RH Duration CO2 FAE Light (oF) (%) (days) (ppm) (1/hr) (lux) Incubation Pinning 55-65 95-100 Fruiting 55-65 85-90 600-1000

I found this, FYI.

Chestnut (Pholiota Adiposa) Fruiting Parameters
The Chestnut mushroom is a popular variety in Europe but has only just started to pop up at a few farms around the states. We are excited to be the only farm currently offering this species as a ready to fruit block. It's texture and flavor are unlike any other cap and stem variety.
Our suggested parameters for commercial cultivation allow for two flushes. Temperature can fluctuate between 55F and 65F and Humidity should be maintained at 95-100% for primordia formation. One way we suggest achieving this is by cutting a large X along one long side of the block, through the plastic and into the substrate layer about a 1/4 of an inch (this scaring of the block is right where primorida will begin to form) and like lions mane, fold the remaining plastic at the top of the block down and under the side opposite the large X. If it's difficult to maintain 100% humidity for pinset, use a backpack or bottle spray to hydrate the blocks where the X has been cut several times a day until pins form. Once primordia begin forming in clusters, you can stop spraying and lighten the humidity in the room to between 85-90%. Chestnut mushrooms can withstand a fuctuation in co2 count in the fruit room, so we suggest keeping it between 600 and 1000ppm.
After you harvest you first flush, unfold the folded under flap and cut the top of the bag off to remove the block. carefully dunk and soak the block in cold water for a few minutes (a dilution of bleach might also be beneficial if your having trich problems in your room.) Then put the dunked block back into the grow bag so that the X is exposing the opposite side of the block for a fresh cluster of primordia to form.

This is my research on adiposa.
growing adiposa (=nameko):
- no casing layer - expose block to condensing fog (very high humidity 97% -100%) - can't let the outer edge dehydrate or no pinning will occur - initiate pinning: lower temperatures to 10-15°C increase fresh air increase light (>500 lux) mist surface of the blocks cut the top of the bag but leave a wall of plastic of about 7-10 cm - one week later an orange, slimy skin is formed on the block. the bigger the area, the more pins - don't let it dehydrate

I prefer one slit. Cold and wet until the pins set (about 10 days). Here on 50% soy hull the yields were killer
