I too have grown tamps. It grows about 30% slower than most cubies I've grown. Spores took 5 days to indicate germination on MYPG agar at 80 degrees. Mycelium on agar took 14 days to cover a plate at 80 degrees. Quart jars (2/3 full) of rye grain took about 14 days to fully colonize at 82 degrees. Upon casing I kept the temp at 82 degrees for about eight days (till mycelium was halfway up the vallies) and then dropped the temp to 60 degrees for two days (to cold shock) and then brought the temp to 72 degrees and humidity to 92% till the appearance of pinn set (about 16 days). Then I keep the temp at 72 degrees and change the humidity to 87% till harvest (about 8 days).If you cut out the agar step and go spores to grain...it comes out right at 7 weeks...hmm, Ryche have you been looking over my shoulder or something? LOL
Although the strain I was growing would fruit, it would not sporulate often. Still good fruit. It was such a good fruiter that I had numerous fruits on the agar dish itself...looked kewl.
Good Luck
