PK Tek - Mason Jars

To begin, I'm new to the forum so if I am not meant to post here, my sincerest apologies, and feel free to delete the thread.
With that said I unfortunately made the mistake of using 1/2 pint mason jars that were not wide mouthed (tapered). How badly will this affect the birthing? Would anyone know of a good method to remove the cake from the jar.
In addition, I am only able to find standard mason jars, would there be another method (besides PF Tek, or at least Mason Jars) that would be just as simple?

You could look up the Irish Man PF Tek, which was written just a few weeks ago using pint glasses, and or whiskey glasses in place of jars.
Your cakes will not birth right, they will break and crumble coming out, so maybe you could use them to inoculate a bulk spawn like hpoo, depending on what you can get and how fast.
Welcome to the Shroomery, and don't let a setback like this deter you from this marvelous hobby, with patience you shall get it in time.

The shoulder on regular jars, will not allow the cake to DROP OUT.
Only choice you will have, is to DIG them out & use as spawn. Study up. There are options.

I will try to find the Irishman's PF Tek which I found very cute, and might be an alternative that works for you.
As Agar has verified by posting, as I thought, you will have no choice left for those cakes than to use them to spawn. They wont birth.

I think I may attempt to break the jars somehow. Although I will most likely research, as some have suggested, a spawning method. Also thank you for the recommendations on the Irish PK Tek (as well as the link).
