Lessons learned "trick the woodlovers" experiment

I wanted to give everyone an update on the little shroom in the Shoe. First a summary of what happened. I took a known Ps Cyanescens culture and moved it from the hot dry pnw to cooler full of ice. I dropped the temperature of the mycelium to about 38 degrees nite time temp average. 50 degrees daytime temp average. i also cut the amount of light down to under ten hours a day. this went on for 3 almost 4 days... Family emergency happens and I abort the experiment. I return the shoe back to its hot arid spot under a rhododendron bush. I return three days later from the family emergency check on the shoe to see if anything happened. I had a couple very small pins. The pictures below are 8 days later.
    Not much has happened ... I guess what I am looking for here is a guess as to what I should expect out of this "little shoe that could" Normally pin set to fully matured fruits does not take this long. I am sure the myco is ...for lack of a better word confused. Did it go into a fruiting remission? could I cold shock and initiate pinning again? Thoughts and comments are appreciated. Thanks IHS

That's funny, did a similiar experiment.
About a year and a half ago, I put known Ps. cyanescens mycliea into jars with alder woodchips, soil, and debris. About two weeks ago, I found the jars that had been stored in a shed (I pretty much forgot about them; I had been planning on using them to start a new patch), and I cold shocked them in a fridgerator for 24 hours.
Lord behold, I got multiple pins, and I actually have cyanescens growing off "cakes," or the subrstrate I had slid out of jars. I placed them on plates with wet potting soil and put a bucket over each to make a makeshift terrarium.
Right now, the oldest are just begining to open up. I've been planning on posting pics, just I haven't really gotten around to it.

Hey SweetLeaf, were your jars with mycelia sealed or was there some air exchange? Just curious...

Really, there was a bout a half inch hole in one, and the other had had 3 holes in the lid; it was an old jar from a cubensis grow.
There were no preventive measures taken. I layed the jars on their sides so that gas could freely transfer. I'd suggest two holes at opposite ends; the jar with three holes had more even growth.
