My job is about to get real crazy so I probably won't be able to post for a bit, but I will try. My guess about the two jars is that neither will contam lol, but who knows? Will try to keep all informed.  I hope I didn't ramble but by this time of day I'm usually very bleary-eyed and fogged out because I work weird hours. Good luck with your endeavors, especially the pans.

I have lost lots of agar slants but glass vials filled with cardbard disks (made with a hole punch) seems to last longer -I don't know why. Didn't mean to get off topic.

Figure I’d ask this here. Using an unmodified tub w lid upside down. On my first flush, noticed that some of my mushrooms now have fuzzy feet. I know that means I need more FAE so I put the lid perpendicular. Will this make the fuzzy feet go away or am I stuck w them?

A little fuzzy isn't bad. When it starts to look like your mushrooms are going to a punk concert, that's when you need to worry. Just move the lids off a little bit, like rotate and angle the lid 5 degrees. You won't need a lot more FAE, and too much will dry it out and give you even more problems. good luck!

Probably fuzzy feet from too much water. Also hence the lack of mushrooms. Good luck getting too little fae with a shoebox

A unmoded tub should get plenty of FAE, you probably have the same problem this guy had
