Do I need to warm the fruiting chamber for my birthed PF Tek cakes?

Hey all, dunked and rolled my cakes. They've been in the FC for a day or so now. I've heard that I don't need to keep them warm at this point? Is this true, or not? I'm paranoid about the heating pad somehow catching fire, so if it's unnecessary that would be great.

you dont want to warm your FC with something that can drastically change the temperature inside your FC. if there is a great temperature fluctuation your RH will also fluctuate accordingly which will be a mess when trying to control your RH. for heating to work you would either need a heater for the room it is being housed in, or a PMP set inside a tub with a water heater.
your FC does not need anything if it is 65+ degrees. your mushrooms will grow regardless of the temperature at that point.
what is the temperature in your FC?
cheers,

From my limited knowledge, there's more than enough moisture. I've got a good layer of Perlite in there. I can see the accumulated moisture on the walls of the container, and it's on the lid as well.
Room temp in my house right now is 64, and the closet is a little lower. The fruiting chamber itself I would estimate to be mid-upper 60s. I got out my digital thermometer, but it's broken somehow. Telling me 29.3 degrees, lol.
