hey, fellas. just curious...summer has just ended in my area....winter is creeping closer and closer. i am wondering if i would still be able to succesfully grow my mushrooms as i would when the climate is just naturally warmer? can you grow them year 'round just the same? hope its not a lame question, just gathering info and this place is awesome for that for sure. peace.

As long as it's an indoor grow and you don't mind waiting a little longer than usual for the substrate to colonise, then all's fine. Once you fruit the cakes the lower temps shouldn't matter.

thanks for the reply. just curious...why would it take longer to colonize? for instance, if the room temperature stays warm in my house, would that help it? or will it obviously still not be the exact same as growing during warmer conditions? thanks.

If you can keep them warm then great. Just think like when you put something in the fridge it doesn't mould as quickly if you left it in the warm. sp the warmth accelerates the colonizing process. Then put them somewhere slightly cooler to trigger fruiting once they fully colonize.
