Just room temperature, and it fluctuates a bit but between 19-23 c

Sorry, not a scientist, didn’t understand your lingo 😝 I’m really trying though!

I'm sorry, my language skills are mainly from "google translate"

I think I will also try to cultivate morels, but because of my girlfriend, we have a minimum temperature of about 22,5°C rather warmer ... yesterday when I undressed all long clothes at 22,2°C, she put on a fleece jacket ... so I think my morels should also like warm temperatures :-)

Thought this video was cool showing a step by step how this guy made a morel garden: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWx0Upf4IqFfgUZzS-e03Tw

Very cool Xerbia, it's encouraging.

Here's an update on one of the projects I did last fall. As I mentioned before I made 4 different substrates in an attempt to fruit them indoors. 3 of them contaminated so I put them outside with little hopes they would do something because of the contamination. As they slowly grew outside over the fall, I noticed a white layer of mycelium on top, which I thought was trichoderma but also looked similar to the "powdery mildew"\conidia layer mentioned in the Chinese papers. I didn't expect them to survive at all because they were left completely exposed to the elements, above ground under a spruce tree and would have likely completely froze over, as our winters can get down to -30c and was in fact -30c to -40c for almost a month straight. Looking at it today I noticed the surface of a couple of them had a lot of scelortia formation on the top. This really goes to show the robustness and ability for this mushroom to survive the elements.

Here is two pictures of one substrate that shows the most surface scelrotia. I plan to case these with a 50/50 verm/peat layer tomorrow in a hope for them to fruit.

Looks just like some guy in EU that grows morels indoors in tubs successfully.

Looks just like some guy in EU that grows morels indoors in tubs successfully, the surface mycelium and sclerotia.
This looks very good!!! Keep us updated!

      That guy is not able to grow morels indoors.  He's keeping his tubs outdoors during fall, winter and spring 
      and when the cultures start to fruit in spring he takes the tubs indoors claiming that he is able to cultivate morels indoors, but in fact
      it's an ordinary  morel bed  kept in a tub outdoors from fall to spring.  Not an indoor culture at all. Bogus!
