Experiment , Myceliums ability to digest dead contam

First off i will not be actually using any of these jars to produce edibles.
I have a major curiosity to see how mycelium will interact with dead contaminations.
To test this i will wait till one of my jars gets contaminated let it infect a good portion of the jar then PC it at the same time as PCing a new jar .
I will then inoculate both jars with agar wedges from the same dish.
Then wait
This is entirely useless in terms of actually growing but i would like to see if maybe just maybe something crazy happens like the dead contamination would be easier to process or something.

It's a good experiment, and you can eat the fruits grown However the only thing the mold will do is begin to digest some of the substrate. Since cubes are a primary decomposer, this is results in reduced nutrients available. I don't think it'll do any harm in the end but it definitely won't be beneficial.
Are you using an isolate? You really should.

I think it could be beneficial, as the contaminations releases enzymes and breakdown the substrate they are releasing nutrients. those nutrients will remain in the substrate when the contaminants are destroyed. I can see some potential but it's unlikely. I'll do some testing with you Calypto..

It would be hard to compare results unless you are showing the contrast with a "control" jar using a mono-clone or a very isolated strain, and fruiting in an identical situation.....That is IF there is not an obvious difference in the grain jars. TO make a contaminant jar, search the forum. Plenty of us "new guys" know some tricks...After PC'in the "contam" jar open the lid in the kitchen....Scrape crumbs and stuff off the counter after making dinner.

He mentioned a control jar whippy. Also allow me to ne clear on my above post, even if this doubled colonization speed it would still be impractical unless used to simply rescue spawn. This is a curiosity experiment not a tek in development. Also the species of contam can play huge roles in the results. Especially bacteria since it can swing pH like crazy. Carry on.

Maybe ill have to try different types of contamination as they come along
