Mushroom Growing Temperature

Successful growth of mushrooms requires monitoring the temperature for good mycelial growth, which produces the fruiting body. Mycelium are like the roots of the mushroom. They are white and weave throughout the growing media when temperatures are ideal per variety being grown.

  1. Button mushrooms

    • Button mushrooms, the type that are found in grocery stores, are best grown in a cave environment where temperatures are maintained at a constant 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Oyster Mushrooms

    • Oyster mushrooms tolerate a wide range of temperatures between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit and are one of the easier varieties to grow.

    Enoki Mushrooms

    • Enoki mushrooms that look like small white buttons on top of a long slender stem grow in temps ranging between 35 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. They can be grown in the refrigerator.

    Beech Mushrooms

    • Beech mushrooms grow best in a narrow temperature range of 60 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Their mycelium will not develop unless this narrow temperature range is achieved.

    Shiitake Mushrooms

    • Shiitake mushrooms that grow outside on logs endure a wide temperature range. They will be triggered to fruit during the spring or fall after a soaking rain and a temperature drop of 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Shiitake logs can be forced into fruiting by soaking in 60- to 65-degree Fahrenheit water for 24 to 48 hours.
