How Do I Take a Break from Growing? 1

I have started with some TEK on growing my first batch and I have a question I haven't seen answered anywhere.
The whole process from spores to fruiting body seems like it can't be halted to take a break. What do you do if you need to take a break?
For 3 months? For 6 months? For 1 year?
What stage of the process do you take a break?

You guys are crazy muthas, but my ADHD would beg to differ and will force me to hyper focus on something else at some point.
I know it's coming

Man fo real. What is the point of a break? If anything, do 1 1/2 pint jar at a time, that requires like 10 mins of work within a month.
But if it's required, many points in a mushroom's life can be stalled. As SpaceCube said, spores are the longest storage, but I don't see the need for vacuum sealing. Never even heard of that. You can store a LC syringe for quite some time. You can store a master slant for a couple of years if you've got a good clone you wanna keep. You can even store a plate for months at a time even at room temp. Fridge will always increase storage life (for live cultures, not spores)

Someone gets it, almost afraid to start something new because I know at some point I will lose interest and it is probably when I am barreling down the highway at 90mph.
Most interests cycle back around, but there will be a solid 6-12 months where I won't touch it.

Iβm fresh off a 15 month break. I suggest doing an expansion with whatever cultures you want to keep and placing them in the fridge in a small cooler/lunchbox. Take fresh prints from you ast grow as well and vacuum seal the prints if have a sealer. Or just keep them in a ziplock some place dry and climate controlled. It also helps to have friends that donβt take a break so worst comes to worst you can bum a good culture and get back at it.

The whole process from spores to cakes, etc., and then back to spores is around two to three months. If one's ADHD is too severe for that, learn patience or take up BINGO at the senior center.  RR
