how long will colonized grain last?

Say I had 12 jars or so left over of fully colonized grain in quarts but i didn't want to spawn it or fruit it just yet. How long will they be usable for if I just don't do anything with them for a couple weeks? Will the mycelium die?

putting them in the frig or a nice cool place is ideal.

I think you may be able to stick em in your fridge and slow down the mycelium... and use em' up to a month later.
I'd also like to know... I've heard too many different answers on this one..

i know putting them in the fridge would slow it down and spawning it to straw and incubating it later would give it a nice warm kick to get started again. But just out of curiousity, what would happen if i just left them in the incubator?

the mycelium would keep eating away at the grain...
and the substrate would start shrinking away.
looks pretty sad!~
and contams might take over.
I did this once...when I had my heart attack.
left everything in the incubators...for several months.

gross. I would have thought that eventually, it'd grow shroomies. Well.. if you can't use em for a few weeks.. then at least you can grow invitro right?? Or even do some solo cup casings??
