I think around 1 week ill have to check my calendar. I believe its all post here. I noticed myc in the uncleben in 3 days . Incubation around 78-80 i heard higher than 80 and its perfect temperatures for contam . It did go to 85 when my heat pad accidentally got cranked up i used the oven door method lost 2 jars had funny color so i put them in the trash i was honestly expecting 50-75. Contamination my appartment is old as hell with carpets that probably are not the most hypoallergenic
Ok, let's apply some critical thinking with temperature and contamination.
You cant really find a temperature where your selection of species grows but "weed" molds will not. All of their metabolisms work faster the higher the temperature until they reach a critical high temperature and then reach thermal death.
Some species will create various exudates in reaction to critical temperatures and these exudates are susceptible to contamination. A weakened mycelium may have more trouble fending off wandering spores.
However.
If you have a sterile environment then there are no offending spores in there.
If there are no offending spores, then no temperature will invite contamination.
If you aren't in a sterile environment then your mycelium will grow faster as the temperature goes up so you dont really invite contamination so long as you are within the right range for this mushroom.
I think I recall that to be...84 degrees f.?
Maybe 86.
