Refrigerating colonised jars?
    #18856700 - 09/18/13 04:08 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Sorry if this has been asked before but i cant find any comprehensive info.

Is it possible to refrigerate colonised jars to stall growth? E.g. if you are going on holiday, you get an unexpected flush from a previous crop etc.

What possible time frames would be involved with this and would it be as easy as taking from the fridge and putting back to the correct temperature when finished?

Thanks any about this process would be great:mushroom2:

AFAIK, it's doable, for six months or so. It will just stall the growth. Make sure that the fridge doesn't dip below freezing, and you might as well clean your fridge, too.

You can put colonised jars of grain in the fridge for months on end. I do this to save on time. I prepare lots of jars at once and the jars I'm not ready to use straight away go in the fridge. Keep in mind that if you do it for too long then the mycelium will eventually lose it's vigour.

Yes.  This is how it's done.  Remove and use when you're ready.  They'll recover and begin growing again when they warm up.
