72-75 is optimal, it should at least stay below 80.

I like to cover the freshly applied casing layer with foil for four or five days to begin colonization, then put in the FC as the myc begins to reach the surface. Patch(optional, but helps) the myc that has already reached the surface and put in the FC. I also don't have AC in my area and sometimes the FC heats into the 90's in the afternoons. They still fruit ok. RR

I fruited at 68-70F (sorry i dont know celsius) my first time and it just took a little longer to see pins and for them to mature.
The temp also hit 60 sometimes at night, no temp is going to kill shit just slow it down and delay progress.

i heard 65F-70F is minimum.
edit: but the point is for them to pin and mature as fast as possible before contams arrive.

I will be doing my first grow in years, starting in about a week. This time I have a fully automated setup with aquarium heaters in dual tubs, humidified air flow, etc. But now I'm living in Arizona high up in the mountains, at about 6500 feet. It gets to about 90 during the day and as low as 40 at night. My heaters will take care of the cold nights, but I don't have an air conditioner so I'm concerned about the day. I was thinking of doing some kind of triple tub setup where the outside tub, or tray rather, has an exposed surface of water around the edge, using evaporation to cool the inner tubs. Do you guys think this will work? Any suggestions? If it doesn't work will I be ok growing at 90 degrees? I'm starting with rye and spawning into hpoo.
