Im currently going through my second grow, first was a wonderful success.

I have a space heater in a small room that I keep my jars which were innoculated about 6 days ago. They started showing mycelium about 3 days ago and it has been progressing nice and evenly since then.

The batteries for my little weather station were dead and I didnt really have any idea just HOW hot my room was, I just got new batteries and it was about 79 degrees F in the room and the temperature by the jars was about 86, which I know is a little high for mycelium.

My worry is that my mycelium got too hot Sad A few of the mycelium spots look very very damp, where as some others look dry whispy and normal. Even the damp mycelium is nice and white, each jars myc spots are about 20-40mm in diameter currently. They look healthy white, no tan or brown or green at all despite the high temps.

If the mycelium growth ceases, then its safe to say that everything did indeed get way too hot? Is a few days of a little too warm of a temperature enough to bonk everything out?

Patience . Dont panic . Wait and see what happens . Stamets said thermal death is at 106 F . 84 - 86 f for a spawn run .

Like the prev. poster... WAIT. It may have wiped some of the colony out, but some of the more heat tolerant may still be growing. Let it set for a while somewhere where you won't be tempted to screw with it... out of sight in the back of a drawer or something. You never know, and if it's suspect just spawn it in a separate group.
All these posts are on behalf of Stimpy, my yellow bullhead. He is an adventurous fish, and I feel his exploits are worth sharing...so much so, I occasionally forget that HE is the one who does these things. Sometimes I get caught in the moment and write of his experiences in the first person; this is a mistake, for I am an upstanding citizen who never does wrong. Stimpy is the degenerate.

How did it turn out?

It was quite difficult coaxing the mycelium to colonize the cake fully. They were ok, one never fully colonized though and the mycelium did end up bruising and drying out and ultimately getting all crackled looking, so that one bit the dust.

hi there

if your cakes stall, its usually because the sub was / is too dry.

Cold temps and lack of gas exchange can cause stalling, but more often than not its down to them being a bit dry... i have in the past, after waiting weeks for it to finish, injected sterile water into the bottom of a stalled jar, ... it was fully colonised a few days later

this tek is not recommended but it works.

Peace
I am certifiably insane, as such all posts written by me should be regarded as utter nonsense or attempts to get attention in fact everything I write here is a lie !

I hope in some way, my posts and replies may of helped you, I hope you like what I have said here if not feel free to send me a none flame PM
