What does the value between brackets mean in Stamets' book?

Hi,
So, I must have missed the explanation of the brackets, and I can't find it. Or at least not as quick as I want... So, maybe someone can tell me what those value between brackets mean in Stamets' book, or where it is explained? (added later: it is Paul Stamets' 'Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, 3rd edition').
Beneath a printscreen with an example of what I mean. In the part of the Primordia Formation a temperature range is mentioned: "50-75 (80)°F".
What does that '(80)' mean?

Idk just stop wasting time reading his book if all you intend to do is grow cubes IMO. Read the hitchhikers guide at the top of the forum and GL.

Yeah, well thanks for the suggestion (and actually that hitchhiker's guide seems pretty OK (!): https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28501530/fpart/all), but not an answer to the question whatsoever. I'm trying to understand what is meant with the brackets.

Looks like a typo. Which edition are you looking at?

@The Tao:
Could be a typo, but then it is a recurring one (because for multiple species, so, repeating).
I have the 3rd edition.

it looks like he gives a preferred range then a maximum in the parenthesis. but i'm more confused by the unitless amount of preferred fresh air exchange per hour. wtf does that mean?

You’ve never done 5-7 fresh air exchanges an hour?

@NotFromGeorgia: yeah, well, I think 'the unit' is indeed mentioned somehow somewhere in the book and it is meant in such a way: complete refresh of the total air capacity in the room. So: 5 to 7 times complete refresh needed. Though, that also assumes some % of how fully filled the room is, etc. Anyways, there are much more debatable things in the growth parameters if you go through them. For example some upper limits for species are different nowadays. Or at least the strands that are commercially available show significant other bandwidths. I do think the parameters are a good starting point, but for sure not totally conclusive.
It looks like he gives a preferred range then a maximum in the parenthesis. >>yeah, kind of looks like it. But, really?! And it is not mentioned for all species.
This growth parameter is about the Indian Oyster mushroom by the way. Maybe someone knows of such an instance that had a RIP after going over 27 degrees Celcius?
