Dunked too cold?
    #7868105 - 01/12/08 04:02 AM (16 years, 20 days ago)

Last night I dunked 2 cakes in the fridge for about 24 hours. When I took them out of the water I noticed some ice in the water. I estimate about 25 percent of the water was frozen. The water surrounding the cakes wasn't frozen yet and I had no trouble getting them out of them water.
I wonder if this low temperature could have damaged the cake? And is the mycelium able to survive such a low temperature?

IOW, my cakes should not have been hurt.

Cubes are pretty darn hard to hurt, especially for a tropical species. If that had happened with a Shiitake block, which needs to be cold shocked to fruit, it would be ruined.

Here's my report: one cake flushed after about one week. IOW, the myc of this cake was not killed by the near freezing temperature.
The other cake turned green :smirk:. This contamination has (probably) nothing to do with the cold dunk imho, the cake already flushed several times and was at the end of its shroom producing life.
