Don't freeze.....you can do many things but the easiest is put it in a zip lock bag and put it in the refrigerator or any cool dark place the cooler the better it can last months.
Or you can make slants or transfer it to vacutainers

I'm making mine right as well. I was also wondering if you could just stick it in the fridge. Good to know.

As said before, simply chuck the whole jar in a ziplock bag in the fridge - and draw up myc from it as it is needed. It will last for many months. Never freeze! It will kill the mycelium.

NOT the best idea at all. You want to stall growth to prolong the life of the mycelium in the LC - by keeping it in the fridge.

If its in the fridge it will be in the dark most of the time anyway. The only light it will see is when you open the fridge.
