Minimum and Maximum outdoor temperatures

My first couple of flushes from the casings I have have priduce small mushrooms in the first place, but after drying them I have gotten less than 1/8th oz. per flush. I have two double tubs in a spawn run that should be checked on wed. Also I have just cased another double tub. Hopefully this will get me bigger fruits. But I have read that you get huge fruits, and lots of them, when you grow outdoors. I know a really good spot and I was going to use Moe's Outdoor tek, but I need to know (being that it is the middle of july and I am in the southeast) what is the maximum temperature my mushies are going to be able to withstand. If I make a patch now, and it gets to hot or cold or anything for that matter, will my patch go dormant or will it just die? Help?

Just being outdoors doesn't guarantee huge and plentiful fruits in itself, you still have to have an adequate nutritional base to draw from (i.e., horse poo, and lots of it).
As far as temps go, I wouldn't sweat it. My recent outdoor grow saw temps in 90F+ daytime (dry heat too) and down to 60 at night. Cubes are versatile, just keep it heavily soaked. I poured cups of water directly on the patch to make up for lack of humidity, and it worked out extremely well.

Yeah, I learned very quickly that you can't treat outdoor patches like an indoor grow, and misting won't do the job. Unless you have the humidity to support pinning, it must be completely soaked daily. It's cool though, they love the water.

Glad that's working out for ya. Unpasteurized poo is a pretty sexy way to grow with little effort.

That's cool, keep us posted. The only poo I've tried it with has been stuff that aged out in direct sunlight for a few weeks. No contams either. UV seems to be the trick. Either that, or poo is extremely contam resistant as I suspect it is.

Ok, so assume I didn't even water the patch? Would the mycellum in the ground die, or would it just wait for rain to flush like cow fields?
