It would seem that mushroom spawn is pretty tough. Here's a conversation I had with the mushroom mountain on innoculating my first batch of logs

Tradd,
I did get the order. Thanks for taking care of it and getting things corrected. I have a few questions though.
1. When the order arrived, we were out of town for the day and the mailman left it on the front porch in the sun. As soon as we got home, I stuck it in the fridge and noticed the keep away from heat message on the box. Do you think the spawn was able to survive sitting in the afternoon sun?
Absolutely, should be fine. I just don’t want mailmen to leave it in metal mailboxes to “cook” in broad daylight.
2. I took everything out of the fridge Friday night and let it go to room temp all night. I put the oyster plugs in some fresh cut oaks Saturday morning but ran out of time before I could get to the blewit. Not knowing what to do, I stuck them back in the fridge. Do you think they'll still be ok to layout in some sawdust this Saturday?
You can open/close the spawn as long as you refrigerate it. Great move! No problem, just use it as you need it over the next few weeks. Just roll it up tight and refrigerate between uses. Good luck and thank you again, Tradd
