Is there hope?

I just walked into my lab where I had all my jars and 4 newly cased(past. wheat straw) bins (3.5 sq. ft. of surface area). I had just inoculated wooden dowels for the first time last week and damn did they look good. Anyways, the temp was 106.4 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. My temp reader said the highest it got was 110.2 but I dont know for how long. I cased the bins yesterday at about 2 pm and turned my heater back on after I was done, but I forgot set the automatic temp. I just turned it on high. So for roughly 34 hours my mycelium was subjected to very high temps. I would say about 14 of the hours it was at about 95 degrees due to ambient temperature outside my house.
So is there any hope of salvaging anything?

Yes, but cool them off now. And keep them in 75 degrees for colonization, or at least the next 3-5 days, but dont go above 80..large casings shouldnt go above 75-80 degrees anyway, if they get any heat. Additional heat is generally unneeded since mycelium will generate heat they need, as long as they are in a temperature that you are comfortable in. Some may make it some may not.
You inoculated wooden dowels with cubensis? If so, have you tired it before? They arent really "wood lovers", though they will eat just about anything..including wood sometimes. Though perhaps your talking another species..

Thanks for the help
And yes its cubensis, I figured if I tried to start a patch outside this summer dowels would be far better than grain (insects and birds are attracted to the grain). The mycelium is from a single dikaryotic organism and is colonizing just as fast as my grain jars and with by far the best rhizomorphic growth I have seen in a jar.

Yes, if injected with mycelium, just about anything would work as spawn, it is generally the spore germination, and fruiting off of such materials that is an issue.
Well, good luck, they may or may not survive, at least the jars..casings I'd be more worried about..but keeping them cool is all you can do, and wait. Good luck.
