Culture fridge froze
    #24020977 - 01/18/17 06:47 PM (7 years, 12 days ago)

Went to my spawn/culture fridge and the thermostat got knocked, so it froze everything. :mad2: Is there any way to check if all my grain spawn is still viable other than inoculating bags?

That, or take a single grain and put it on agar.

What would be the reasoning for that?

If the grain spawn recovers no need to spawn heavy.
I put some Nameko spawn in the freezer for over 6 month and it recovered quickly. So, some types won't have any problem with a brief freeze.

It does depend a lot on species.

Cut up colonized agar and put in sterilized distilled water. Cover air tight and put it on the shelf. I couldn't link you to any, but there are documented cases of this lasting for 10 years.
