Dry mycelium
    #21674630 - 05/13/15 01:22 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I had some oyster cultures sent to me via the mail.  By the time it cleared customs and jumped through all the hoops a good two weeks had passed.  I transferred the culture to two Petri dishes, 4 wbs jars, and used the extra for a LC.  The culture felt very dry when I cut into it, almost like a tough skin in parts.  My question is;  Do you guys think a culture that sketchy will survive?

It sounds like your agar dried up but the mycelium should still be alive.

Even if the mycelium is completly dry, it will recover

drying mycelium is one method to store it for a long time

no worries here

Sweet, I just dropped it on top of the wbs...  Should I shake it a little so it gets access to a little more moisture?

I always shake it in. Will rub mycelium all over the grains too.
