If you have a basement, garage, or grow space that stays cool in autumn and winter without supplemental heating, this pack was put together specifically for that situation. All five species have fruiting temperature ranges on the lower end of what we sell, and all five produce well at temperatures that most warm-weather species cannot tolerate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold Weather Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Included Species\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhite Enoki (Flammulina velutipes) Liquid Culture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Enoki is the star of this pack for cold-space cultivators, it fruits at 45 to 60°F and is one of very few cultivated species that actually performs better in cool conditions than at room temperature.
