I don't see why it would reduce production. They will more than likely just take longer to mature. But to be honest I am not really sure you might wait for someone that has dealt with different temps to give you the answer.

I always just check mycelia.be and follow their guidelines.

from what I just read about 3790 it pins less from 65F and up.




Thanks for the incredibly helpful link. The information is just what I needed. 
As I mentioned previously, the frustration is in getting wildly different answers from different sources. I tend to be an "evidenced-based" thinker and getting wildly differing answers drives me crazy. I've discovered one clue to the accuracy of a particular technique is that you see a YouTube video on how to grow mushrooms using some technique, the video ends with the guy saying "I'll make Part 2 when they start to grow" and there never is a part 2. Good clue that you maybe don't want to try what he tried. It also seems fast growing mushrooms like Oyster mushrooms are more forgiving of 'experimental' conditions since they grow so fast that temp/humidity/pathogens aren't as big a concern. I probably should have researched Maitake a bit more as they need much longer to fruit with much more chance of problems. I'm hoping the constant temp of the basement and the new humidity controller will help.

I think you answered the question.  "They will more than likely just take longer to mature".
In production,  time is money. Production is often measured in turns of product through the facility. If it takes 1.5 weeks instead of 1 week ( as an example) you have cut your production and increased cost ( electric, size of fruit chamber, etc.) Just food for thought.

So anyone here grow Shiitake? What temps are your fruiting room? Literature says anywhere from 58-62 F (14-16 C) but like most other things, I've seen some people using "room temperature" which is like 70 degrees...

Thx Quadman, I have 3782 strain.
Anyone else have a "sweet spot" fruiting temp?

I'm going to try mine on the windowsill which is mid 60s this time of year.  Probably ready in 3 weeksish

Update, there's one weird thing coming out the side of this one bag, not sure if it's a fruit or what, but the rest appear to be coming in as I'd expect.  I think it needs some more browning before I crack the bag and begin that part of the process.

Since my last post, I experimented with Shiitake fruiting temps. I made up 3 5lb bags and put 2 in the basement at 58 deg. and 1 in my living room at 68 deg. After 50 days I really can't tell a difference, all are about 75% colonized on the surface, The basement ones perhaps a tiny bit more colonized on top. We have a cold snap here in Pennsylvania now and the basement is more like 56 degrees now. I'm watching these closely b/c my very first batch of Shiitake in bags was a failure. Full colonization on surface, browning begun, but inside of every block was just substrate with no colonization. Threw them all out. I was very OCD this time in getting exact H2O amounts per ShroomsISay01's very detailed instructions.

its likely the RO water was the issue as using distilled ie sensors need salt to detect :wink:. pinch o salt woulda saved 600 bucks, like the space shuttle failing due to o ring...

Hi,
I have problem with fruiting shiitake.
Substrate is 85% beech hardwood sawdust and 15% bran. After 2.5month bags was all brown with pins. One bag start pre-fruit in bags and after move to fruiting room grow only one more. I tried put other bags to frdge for cca 15h 4C and little smack it but not fruting. In fruiting room is temperature around 10C and humidity 85-90%, oyster grow without problem. What I can try? Try different substrate? More warm fruiting room? Wait for more colonize substrate (but start pre-fruiting) ?

Take them outside and blast them with a hose...



I guess you could do it in a bath tube too. But you need to use a hose with pressure to knock off the surface film.

Those look like they need a good soak. Spray often after soak till pins are well established.

Shitake Block Fruiting is in a Tote.. I've got a light from a fish tank.. I mist twice a day..or more if I feel like it... I've got a wet paper towel next to it..for some extra water  it was a gift I did not make the fruiting block.. but its producing so far

Update, since I don't have a martha, I tried fruiting 2 of my blocks next to the front door as it has crappy insulation and is cooler.  Did get some fruits but they were super dry and small and crappy as you can see in the cutting board pics.  Another block I just slapped and left in the bag to retain humidity.  Actual fresh air could have made them better I'm sure, but they were nice big fruits and tasted great! Pictured are fruits from one block.  The other two I slapped and left in the bag so I can get more of the same.  (also doing this in-bag fruiting with lion's mane right now and it is by far the best looking big fruits I've gotten from Lion's mane)
