Warm helps, hot does not. The NHB model report, reproducing ICAR-DMR guidance, says temperature above 26 to 27 °C during spawn run and after casing should be avoided. ICAR-DMR adds that false truffle, a competitor that ruins compost, appears above 23 °C and is common in February and early March in the north Indian plains.
The run takes 12 to 14 days under controlled conditions, and the Hindi folder gives 12 to 15 days for a seasonal room. Do not case on a date. Case when the compost has turned light brown right through.
