Okay to refrigerate Spawn Jars like LC jars?
    #5445721 - 03/26/06 11:56 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Can I stick rye grain spawn jars in the refrigerator once they're colonized, if I wont be using them for 3 or 4 days?

It's best to let the jars continue to colonize for a couple of days after they appear to be 100%. This is more true with PF jars to make sure the center is fully colonized, but IME/IMHO it helps the myc form a tighter, stronger network in grains, too. A cool, dark room will work fine. No need for a fridge.

If you are only going to wait for a few days, than a refrigerator is not needed. I have stored colonized WBS in the fridge for well over 4 months and had no problem spawning them. The refrigerator should only be used for short term storage whenever possible. This recommendation obviously does not include syringes or liquid cultures.

I'll bet there are some people out here who have stored for longer periods of time though.

Wow, four months, damn. So they are fully colonized throughout, should I just pull them out of the TiT and stick them on a shelf? Oh, and should I be storing my syringes in the fridge too?

Syringes in the fridge is a good idea, but not necessary. I had a syringe sitting in a drawer for a year and a half, it worked fine. Just take them out the incubator and put them in a dark place. 4 days is not long enough to worry.

I wouldn't leave colonized jars out at room temp too long though.

I found out the hard way about leaving colonized jars out.


a couple days to a week is fine...

longer than that...better store in the frig.
