but mycelium will grow just fine between 18 degrees and 28 degrees, but.. i find 22-25 the sweet spot. you get fast growth, which will make sure your spawn is faster than any other competetors.. also the ratio from sub to spawn.. if you are a beginner, maybe use a 1:1 ratio of spawn to sub.. this way your tub should be fully colonized within 10 days.
