cold shocking

so i have a pretty simple casing... verm on bottom, 2 half pints of cambo, verm on top. Put directly into fuiting chamber, never incubated. Its been in the FC for 9 days now, but lets just says its been in fruiting conditions for 5-6 b/c the mycelium had to get established after the crumble.
Last night I turned my mini fridge on 'cool' and threw that shit in there for about 10 hours. I took it out this morning and it felt pretty damn cold.
How cold for how long must it get to kill the mycelium??? How long until you guys usually see pins after doing a cold shock??

A fridge temp wont kill the mycelium, it causes it to go dormant, freezing will kill mycelium. For a proper cold shock 12 hours is good..

I really think cold shock is unuseful. just slows the whole process down. I've done it a few times, didnt see any benefit.
