They are likely fine. If anything, their growth just stalled a little.

Jars dont need oxygen. They Need C02.

Bingo.

Mycelium needs G/E while colonizing. Too high of CO2 and they stall.

Elevated CO2 will quicken colonization. Myc breathes oxygen so jars need a constant supply to stay alive and healthy.

OP, your jars are going to be fine. The cooler isn't small enough or sealed tight enough to kill them in five days.
