1.5 year old mycelium jar. does it still work?

So, one and a half year ago i made some jars with mycelium. i haven't had the perfect moment to birth them, until now. The medium has shrunk by 50% but there is definitely something going on in there. They have been fully colonized and it even seems like the shrooms have tried to grow inside (orange looking spots on mycel, not contam)the jar. I am doing the dunk and roll technique and birthing one of them today. I'm wondering if anyone has tried this before? Will it work? Anyway, i will keep u guys updated

yes, i use brf and verm. Filled it up with some verm on the top. glass jar with plastic lid, sealed off with aluminium foil and electrical tape. air tight. I can take more pics. These arent that informative, but u can at least see the mycel.

how long did you dunk for?
also, cut that foil around the base so there's not so much extra. it'll block the humidity from coming up.
take pics of your fruiting chamber, it looks very unusual.
just want to make sure this thing has the best chances it can possibly get

I dunked it for 24 hours. I thought maybe it should be dunked longer, but the water was getting a bit "mercy" or "fuzzy", whatever you wanna call it.

(Removed some of the foil after picture was taken)

If you get fruits be careful with dosing. There have been reports of very large increases in potency from older grains colonising a long time, so I guess this would be similar.

would cloning carry the increase in potency? or is it increased due to stronger/older myc? ? ps. complete noob here..
