According to RR, difficulty separating full colonized myc is due to filling the jars with too much grain.. So.. Wise people of Shroomery, how can I break the mass up to spawn to bulk?

I tried hitting it against a phone book, as I don't have a bike tire handy at the moment.. But I'll go with the spoon idea. I thought about doing that initially, but I'm still in the amateur phase so I had fears it would damage the mycelium in some way, lol.

Why not separate before soaking? Seems like you would get more surface area and absorption

I just smash mine on the carpet. Holding my bike in place while trying that method got frustrating.

I used to use a small tire but I find the heel of one of my rubber boots works better.
I have over filled my jars many many times and the only time I was unable to break them up was when they were badly infected with bacteria.
