I prepare a substrate with the correct moisture content, use a foil lid, inoculate with relatively fresh spores and incubate at 80?F.

Anno, I just innoculated my jars, and the lids are on fairly tight with a tinfoil layer over the lids, should I unscrew the lids a tad, and possibly remove the tape from the holes. The reason Im asking is because im not sure if your talking about 1/2 pint jars

No, they are stopped by the vermiculite layer.

Your the best Anno :cool:,  I heard the best way to unscrew the lids is to attach a piece of tape to the top, and the screw ring is this correct.

Thank you Anno for posting this. Seeing how I am new to this hobby this has answered some of my questions. So seeing how this topic has already been started I hope you don't mind if I ask you or anyone else a question or two. I have some pint jars I innoculated with B+. I am using metal lids with the inners turned seal up They are on snug but not tight. There is 4 holes punched in top that were use for innoclulating. I currently have the holes covered with 3M Micropore tape(used for dressing wound and offers breathablilty. I think). They have been incubating for three days and now I see growth. Should I just remove the tape completely?

I?d leave it on for now, since it should provide some air exchange due to it structure, and the lids are inverted.
Should the jars at some point stop growing without apparent reason, take the tape off.
As I said, I had the best results with aluminum foil lids.

Yea, I mean, it's not like we would want anybody thinking for themselves or anything  :tongue:

As far as gas exchange goes during colonization, I've had no problem with slow growth due to the extra layer of foil on top of the lid.

Also, I love the fact that they breath in oxygen and release carbon dioxide....sounds familiar.  Symbiotic relationship indeed.  :smile:

I haven't seen anywhere saying you can. But it sure would even out the gas exchange Not just in the fruiting chamber Why couldn't I put a few heat loving plants in my incubator at night to help with the exchange.. Anno?

I Might get flamed here cos I've just skim read this post cos I'm very tired and want to get some sleep but I've ALWAYS used foil on my drinking glasses/ jars & have never used lids & have found that if you do use foil & stack your glasses/jars ontop of each other the jars ontop are ALWAYS the fastest to colonize.

Just trying to prove Anno's point about air exchange.

Goodnight !

>Why couldn't I put a few heat loving plants in my incubator at night to help with the exchange

Plants convert CO2 and water into oxygen and sugars....when they have light. This process is called photosynthesis.
The incubator shouldn?t have light. So this woudn?t really work well.
Plants need some oxygen for themselves too, btw.

Besides, the point is not that the oxygen isn?t available, it is there , in the normal air, to more than 20%, the problem is that it has to get to the mycelium, and it can?t get there, if the jar is sealed.
