Rhizo Mycelium Receding..

what the hell is my rhizo mycelium doing? In some parts the mycelium is receding from the 1pint jar glass, pulling the brf and verm with it. Like a lot. Because this is my first time ever inoculating jars(BFR/VERM) I'm not to familiar with the habits of mycelium outside of some reading. Input greatly needed.

This is normal. The mycelium is slowly consuming the substrate and this causes it to lose some volume. It will pull away from the sides of the glass and when it's done you may actually be able to wiggle your cake around inside the jar rather easily to get it out.

Ohh goodshit, my mycelium loves me and its trying to make things easier for me :p. It's also trying to colonize my dry verm layer and being kinda successful with it. I'm guessing that's normal to some extent?

Sounds like some aggressive myc. Not a bad thing at all. If it is trying/succeeding in colonizing your verm layer, it sure isn't contaminated! lol

Hmm some good news. Considering I didn't follow the sterile tech. Not one bit besides burning the needle and I only did that after every jar.

We all get lucky. Being consistent can be trickier. I followed as much sterile procedure as I could with PF tek, still with some contam issues. Now I use lids with synthetic filter disks and heal-able injection ports. So I just do open air injections through an alcohol soaked sponged. I have had 1 contamination in the past 100 jars.
How far along are your jars?
Good vibes!
