Weakend mycelium due to shaking too much
    #18720665 - 08/17/13 09:40 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I did a little experiment with a few jars of wbs.  Out of 7 jars, I shook 3 of them whenever I first saw signs of growth and about every three days after that. 

The other 4 jars were shaken at about 25 percent and haven't been shaken since.

The one's that were shaken every three days actually have colonized faster, but the mycelium looks weaker, kinda thin and wispy.  ~95%

The ones that were left alone look much better but are colonizing slower.  ~80%

My last shake on the jars that were shook often was 3 days ago.  Before my last shake the mycelium was very healthy looking (snow white and rhizomorphic) and not as whispy.  I wonder if I wore it out?  Should the mycelium have recoverd after three days at around room temperature?

If its healthy 24-48 hours after the shake.  Just like a baby you shouldnt shake your mycelium too much!

Haha.  Yea I figured so.  Curiosity will indeed kill the cat sometimes.  It's cool.  More jars on the way.
