spawning/ fruiting question
    #5387008 - 03/10/06 07:03 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I am a newbie here... hope it is not to obvious :grin:

I have a couple of questions, I think Ive got the answers for them but I just want to make sure.....
I have a half gallon of spawned mexican rye grain and 20 pounds of tenn studd 50/50 mix. I am ready to mix the two!

1. Once I mix the spawned mexican rye grain with the substrate, what temperature is optimal at the surface? I have read that it should be between 78-82F, but my substrate is about 5 inches deep. I am assuming that the thermal heat will be produced in the inner parts of the substrate. With this in consideration, what temp should the surface be? I do not want to kill any mycelium. Maybe I should stick my thermometer in the substrate.. not on the surface?

2. After 12 days of spawning and 5 days of casing... I will be ready to fruit. Ive read optimal temps is about 78F. Taking into consideration that my substrate is 5 inches deep... what should the surface temp be?

thank you once again... and I will post pics once I figure how to do so....

78-82F. will be fine for incubating. 78F is slightly too high for any substrate and since you are using poo at 5" depth you are better off fruiting at 70-74F IME.
