 Thermal Death

I have forgotten what the "thermal death" mark is for psilocybe cubensis. My friend's cat innoculated some jars yesterday and knows that temps went up to ~88.7 f (max temp on digital therm). Will his spores be ok and germ? thanks.

Your spore will be fine.
Thermal Death is 98 or something

The thermal death temp for mycelium is 106 f. I am not sure if this stands for spores or not, just my $.02

I dont know if many are familiar, but any temp over 100 can envoke growth of contams. I have had my digital thermometer read 102 and 101 on the high memory during incubation numerous times. I was using a heating pad in an incubator. I now use a timer that goes on for 1/2 hour, then off for 1 hour. This has kept my range between 74 and 100 degrees. And I get full colonization of the substrate within 2 to 3 weeks with this method. Hope that helps...
