I was wondering when using canning jars can I keep growing the mushrooms in there from colonisation to fruiting or should I take the cake out of the jar??????????

according to hippie... keeping them in there is called going invitro. theyll grow around and along the inside of the jars.

You will probably get a better yield if you remove the cake from the jar, but going 'in vitro' does have the advantage of not having to really construct a grow chamber - just cover the whole thing with a filter patch bag like you would a potted plant when you leave for a while. If you plan on doing it this way, though, what you want to do it paint the jar black, wrap some construction paper around it, or somehow make it opaque - your shrooms will grow at places where they see light, and if you prevent light from hitting all but the top of the jar it should reduce aborts growing against the inside of the jar and increase your yield.

Take them out of the jar and use a grow chamber. Much more fun than eating twisted, gnarly shrooms.

The only advantage to going invitro thats even slighty worth while is, that you have a better chance of them fruiting when you take them out of the jars. The'll be in that stage so to speak.......don't do it! Having them do that in jars, is just plain dumb....no offence. By the time you want to take them out.... your little half-ass, twisted shrooms, have used up all the water, or some of the water. Thus, your cakes will be that much dryier, so trying to produce a good yeild, is almost out of the ?. Your cake can bruise by letting them do that. Be a man about it, or women..hehe, and build a terr., at some point your going to do it anyway, if you want prints, or want a bigger yeild through casing. I'm not trying to piss you off.....i'd just hate to see you throw it all away(going invitro), when you came this far. Some people think it's not a problem to do this. Well I ask you to just think about what seems alittle more natral. Like I said going invitro doesn't have many advantage's....afew, but not worth it. Good Luck!
