It really depends on the species. If you mixed cubes with a fast agresive wood loving edible like oysters. The cubs would likely be completely over run.

Allow me to clarify. I had my jars completely covered in tin foil with no gas exchange. I then loosened the tin foil lids on 3 jars so that air could get in through the 5 holes I made in the top of the metal Mason jar lid.
I did the same with 7 other jars, except instead of loosening the tin foil, I removed the tin foil and quickly put on a coffee filter as a lid.
Then a day or two later white fuzzy growth started forming about 1-2 inches down in the jars, near each side of the container where I injected spores. It's possible they are contaminants, but I find it unlikely when it coincides so specifically with where I inoculated the jars.

If germination started in 5h3 middle of the jar you are probably OK. FYI coffee filters do next to nothing to protect your jars frome mold and bacteria. The pours are much to large to be used as a filter.

Still, the fact that a few days after I lifted the lid off lead to germination, while other jars didn't germinate until I did the same several days later makes me think it was GE that did it.

But how are you supposed to know if it's growing in the middle when you can't see it, eh? I'm just going to have to hope my still air box keeps things sterile and that I don't lose any more jars.

That's just luck. I've had spores germinate on agar with zero ge.
You should only have the jar filled 2/3rds the way. You should be able to see the top

When I said middle I was referring to the inoculation site on the side. Not the center. If your growth started on top after opening them you can be pretty sure it's contam.

I see what you mean. With one of them it's hard to tell. Something that is white and fuzzy and looks like mycelium growth is growing on the top of the rice, but it's isolated in the center of the jar where I injected. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if it's a contam or not.
