How does my myc look? I've noticed yellow areas in some of the jars, as seen in picture, but not sure if it's just seeds. Also a black line as seen in picture. This is week two I believe. Used franks tek

That one with the line (which is a thin uncolonized strip) might have a contam but the others look good. Could probably could finish in a week if you shook them today Just note the one with the uncolonized strip and keep an eye on it.

How should I shake them? Rough till it's completely broke apart?

Bang em on a phone book until everything is busted up, then shake to evenly disperse the nock points. Don't form bad habits like me and start smacking them in the palm of your hand, broken glass in your palm sux

Looks good! I don't think you have any contams; not with myc that good looking. The yellow spots look like waste and that line is in the middle of healthy myc, which would is not be likely to have a contam in the center of growth.

How do you know that there isn't a thin ribbon of bacteria preventing it from colonizing? Not saying that's what it is, but in a situation like that I would mark the jar and keep an eye on it.

In the light of overwhelming evidence to support the notion I remember previously posting that I think you guys out west have very different jars to what I have. This provides more compelling evidence.

I totally agree, but in the pic it looks like the substrate is pushed against the jar preventing growth. shaking that jar will spread the contamination throughout if it is.

Alright, so I'm going to shake these bitches up till it's all broken up and spread around I assume.
Are small clumps ok or should it all be broken up
