it can, but not for as long . eventually the mycelium will run out of food . seal the jar air tight, put it in the refer., and it will last 2 mos. or more .

So I basically tried this tek and have a little question. I used 1 cup of water and 1 TBLS golden corn syrup and added some spores from a print. I just took a look at them 1 day later and noticed tiny white fibers on the bottom of the jar. I take it this is a good sign? BTW the fibers seem to be heavy and like to settle to the bottom. Assuming this is a desired event, how long (apx of course) until I can inoculate? Is there a sign I should look for?

i have seen spores germinate in k/w in as little as 12 hr .
little white specks that settle to the bottom tells me you have soft water .
in a day or so it will begin to clump . when it gets the size of a quarter, it's ready .(usually about 5 days}
