Rye colonization- New to bulk

I'm new to bulk. This jar has been going ten days, inoculated with an agar wedge, shaken once.
I'm concerned that I don't see the thick fluffy mycelium that I've seen in many other pictures of rye jars colonizing.

Looks pretty damn good for 3 days. It will get whiter.

Isn't it a good idea to shake them at least every three days?

Thanks for the reassurance. I worry about having to start over and stuff.

no shake once at 20-40% and that's it. if you shake every three days your mycelium will spend all it's time recovering and it wont grow.

You only shake grain jars once... that's what.

The reference * top * was shaken at the first noticeable sign of large growth so perhaps 5% colonization.
It was fully colonized before the others reached 30% with only one really thorough shake.
I did this again with another batch of jars and it worked the same.
I cannot guarantee YOU results like this consistently, but all did recover.
