Damn. I just cased(coir/verm) two trays of fully colonized hpoo, and then put them back into the incubator. When I checked on them 24 hours later I noticed the temperature was at 90 degrees! I had accidentally bumped my heater thermostat and knocked it up to the max.
I placed the trays in the fruiting chamber at 74 degrees and removed the tray covers. There is a very mild strange smell but this is my first time casing so maybe that is just how coir smells. Could I have messed things up with 24 hours of 90 degree incubation? The casings were sterilized in a PC for an hour. Are the trays doomed? I was thinking of misting with H2O2. The myc hasn't reached the top of the casing as far as I can tell.
I really don't want to waste all this effort and patience, oh the humanity!

From my understanding terminal temperatures of mycelium are in the 105 F range. 85 is optimal and anything above or below that just slows down. So I would assume that they are alright. Also if you are just taking an ambient air temperature then the casing may not have actually hit 90 degrees. Again no expert but I don't think you should have any problems.

OK so I guess I'm just freaking out. I found this post: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4429524#Post4429524
People are probably seeing my post and saying, "neewwwb." This hobby can be so damn stressful. I love it! I just wanted someone to say, "chill, it's all good".
