H Peroxide --> hyper-metabolism?
    #28340118 - 05/29/23 11:50 PM (7 months, 25 days ago)

This is just an experiment. At this point, I'm not trying to  maximize fruiting; I'm just interested in understanding fungus metabolism.

I buried infected rice in six inches of composted sterile manure. I punched a hole down the center with my finger and filled it up with hydrogen peroxide. I figured it might kill growth within an inch(?) of it, but would disperse a lot of oxygen and water into the dirt for the rest of the organism to breathe. I'm actually interested in kill radius vs. the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide in revving up metabolism.

I checked a couple of hours later, and the dirt was noticeably warm. I assumed it was oxidation by the manure, but the next day it was still hot. Whether it represents explosive growth or not, is TBD.

Okay, plants suck carbon dioxide  out of  the air, break the oxygen off, and use sunlight like glue to hold the carbon as part of the growing plant. The oxygen floats away. Animals and fungus eat dead plants, breathe oxygen, and that gives off heat for the same reason a fire does.

====[ So do anyone else's mushrooms get hot?

They appear to be warm-blooded!

I expect this heat might be coming from the breakdown of H2O2. It produces a fair bit of heat when it splits into H and O. Also, an increase in metabolic rate doesn't necessarily imply an increase in growth rate. Optimum oxygen concentration in relation to growth rate varies by species and the other environmental conditions present; I doubt this has been figured out for cubensis yet! Too much oxygen can have strong inhibitory effects in many species too.

Additionally, if the heat was produced by an increase in metabolism, we couldn't say for sure that it's fungal in origin; it may be generated by soil microbes present.
