If u think about it dropping the temp to start pinning itself is a "cold shock"
now how can that be disproven.
Horse poo is good. Why?
well it holds more water than cow poo.
Natural temperature declines within 10 degrees would be like the start of a new season, that isn't a "shock" And wrong again, horse is better due to being fluffier and less digested. You don't want soaking wet horse poo, they draw the water from the casing layer mostly.

Do the research and prove it to yourself. Cubensis is not found in any area that gets as cold as a fridge. Other species could benefit, cubensis is not one of them.

"Do the research and prove it to yourself."
your the one thats stating all these facts, why dont you back it up?
"Cubensis is not found in any area that gets as cold as a fridge."
remember, were not trying to "grow" mushrooms in the fridge. were just using the extreme temperature change to trigger fruting.
"Other species could benefit, cubensis is not one of them."
IME cubensis IS one of those species

damn didnt meant to start a fight!! :P~ ty guys for all the info:) ill just spary it down with a water bottle, its my first atempt at poo so its not a awsome casing. just trying to get the feel for poo. here when i get the hang of using poo ill do a comparison cold shock vs non and dunk vs non and post the resalts  .. now play nice kids or ill turn this bus around and will go straight home!!
im kind of embarassed to show this but heres the first flush.. the casing wasnt 100% colonized, i got impatient and whent ahead and cased it anyway  i pulled the 2 biggest ones off of it today (before pics were taken) they equaled 50 gms wet. i must say they are comeing in alot bigger than when i grew them out on corn (there cams if you were wondering).
TY all for the info
l8r,

Because I was simply stating what I know as a fact. If you don't want to do the reading, it's your choice and chance of failure. I never said that anyone was growing anything in a fridge, but the temperatures reached are un-natural and harmful. And plenty of people have never done a fridge dunk and get perfect flushes, seeing as how a 10 degree drop is all that is needed in nature; and in home.

"your choice and chance of failure."
hah! thats a good one.
"I never said that anyone was growing anything in a fridge"
i was proving your statement "cubensis is not found in any are that gets cold as a fridge" irrelevant. as we are not trying to "grow in any area that gets cold as a fridge".
"but the temperatures reached are un-natural and harmful."
bullshit.
"And plenty of people have never done a fridge dunk and get perfect flushes"
as have people that have cold shocked
"seeing as how a 10 degree drop is all that is needed in nature; and in home."
"all that is NEEDED" do you think nature needs to go through sterilization, liquid culture, agar, grain to grain, spawning to poo, casing??? we do all that stuff because it allows us to grow better. an indoor grow will be more sufficient than an outdoor forever. its all about innovation and adaptation.

Believe what you want, pal, but if you want to stick a fragile network into contaminate-ville, be my guest. Go ask any major grower if they cold shock or not, and I bet you'll get a whole lot of not's. And your last analogy has to be the stupidest thing I've seen in awhile; advanced cultivation methods have nothing to do with how the genetics of the mushroom define how it will best grow.

whats the point in taking personal stabs at me? is that all there is left for you to make your self look better?
look, i dont know why your having a hard time understanding such simple things.
you said a 10 degree drop is all that is needed in nature. ok, its all that is "needed", but there may be more "optimal" conditions, example: cold shocking(lower temperature). other occurences that happen in nature may be all that is "needed". however, more optimal occurences may be "sterilization, liquid culture, agar, grain to grain, spawning to poo, casing". so tell me how is that a bad analogy? it seems to fit perfect.
genetics have little to do with this, all forms of life are constantly addapting. this does not exclude cubensis mushrooms.
ive got 4 years of experience growing which is enough to know how things are. i can conclude that most of the facts you are stating are just untrue.
OK YEAH YEAH YEAH.... COLD SHOCKING IS NOT NECESSARY, BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN IT DOESNT WORK!
in my experience cold shocking has lead to faster pin formation than if it was not cold shocked.
as for refridgerators being a contaminant hazard, i have never once had any problems with this. i think if you keep your fridge halway clean(no mold, no old food, or anything obvious) you wont ever have a problem with contams from your fridge.

I wouldn't lower myself to personal stabs. A 10 degree drop IS optimal. And a tropical mushroom is not going to suddenly adapt to live in Alaska, sorry. X number of years means nothing to me, ask some of the real pro's around here and see what they say and watch it mimic me. I don't put out bunk info.

yo so i am somewhat convinced that dunking my poo will help, especially if that guy is on his 7th or 8th flush, lol... so i guess my question, is will the casing layer be contaminated enough so that it doesnt crumble once the contents of tray + casing are dunked? or do you scrape off casing / what is left of casing AFTER its dunked... basically im wondering why i cant just mist the casing

there you go again. who the fuck said anything about alaska? THE MYCELIUM IS ONLY IN THE FRIDGE OVERNIGHT, NOT ITS ENTIRE FRUTING CYCLE. cold shocking is just a fast triggering of fruiting.
we can settle this whole thing right now if you would just provide some decent proof.
if experience means nothing to you then why do you rely on these "real pros" so much?
so would you admit there are no negative effects of cold shocking besides contamination(which only occurs if you dont take proper precautions)? from what ive collect you basically just dont feel like putting your cakes in the fridge. for no good reason.
heres what i realized. casings are too much trouble for cold shocking. cakes are perfect candidates for cold shocking though. however, not many people including myself ever go back to cakes after casing(im including bulk w/ casings). so i havent actually cold shocked anything in a while but i still stand by my opinion that it accelerates pinning.
its just too easy not to cold shock when fruiting from cakes. right after you birth them you want to rehydrate and initiate pinning. so while your dunking you might as well cold shock.
when fruting from casings after you birth you want to hydrate but you DONT want to induce pinning just yet. so you dunk(when using pf style cakes of course. not applicable to grains) then mix with casing mixture which is allready hydrated so theres no need to dunk. you still dont want to initiate pinning just yet. you toss the casing back in the incibator to allow more mycelial growth. when grow through is optimal you then want to induce pinning but your not going to dunk, your going to put your casing straight into your fruiting chamber. since your not going to dunk then its not really worth cold shocking because that 12-24 period would be used to initiate pinning in a semi natural enviroment. whereas if you werent dunking and cold shocking at the same time you would just be wasting a whole day of pin formation. that basically applies to bulk production too.
and thats why i feel like cold shocking is considered overrated.

You didn't get the point. A tropical mushroom will only survive in tropical conditions. In tropical conditions, they don't see a 35 degree freezing rain day. No, it won't kill it, but it may very well hinder it. No, it's not the whole fruiting cycle, but it is INDEED a shock, a potentially dangerous one to the network. Cold shocking can delay pinning and cause lowered pinsets. Thus these extra few days that you'd have faster pinning and colonization, you'd also have a vector for contamination.

ThePerspective, you are right except for one point. It really isn't necessary to cold shock during a dunk and it will in fact delay pinning for a few extra days, but the reason it is done is to prevent contams getting hold while it is submerged - the cold temps slows the growth of all spores, including the mycelial network.
I always dunk my casings, and never cold shock - Im experimenting with adding nutrients in the form of a soluble organic fertiliser - seaweed extract - to the dunk water. Seems to keep the flushes strong and healthy, but is a bigger gamble with contams. Never had one yet though......

"You didn't get the point."
im pretty sure your the on thats not getting the point
"A tropical mushroom will only survive in tropical conditions."
a mushroom maybe. but mycelium can survive in freezing temperatures
"In tropical conditions, they don't see a 35 degree freezing rain day."
again, the occurences in nature may not be the absolute best way that the mushrooms can grow. there may be better conditions than in nature.
"No, it won't kill it, but it may very well hinder it."
yeah growth may be stalled while its in the fridge, but 10 miutes later when that mycelium has reached 70-75 degrees it will be right on its way again.
No, it's not the whole fruiting cycle, but it is INDEED a shock, a potentially dangerous one to the network.
well speaking from experience its never been dangerous. ive never lost 1 single cake due to cantams after a cold shock.
"Cold shocking can delay pinning and cause lowered pinsets."
true, but only for the time that its actually 30-40 degrees(in the fridge)
"Thus these extra few days that you'd have faster pinning and colonization, you'd also have a vector for contamination."
again, no cantams here.

Err, what? I'm the one advising AGAINST cold shocking. Cold does nothing for preventing contamination during a shock. Adding H2O2 or bleach, does.

WTF is your problem? we are just having a debate. none of this is serious. at least not to me. what can i say? i guess i just like to argue a bit, but there are no hard feelings towards anyone. i respect his opinion.
lol, il even admit cold shocking is a waste of time and not necessary.

Im agreeing with your views AGAINST cold shocking. Im disagreeing with your ideas that cold does nothing to prevent contamination. If a fridge does nothing to prevent contamination, take all your food out of it for two days and watch what happens.
