Would this growing idea work?

Two out of twelve of my jars have successfully created mycelium due to the fact that i burnt the other 10.
Now I have everything I need to redo the other 10 jars except the spores. So, if I get my BRF/verm substrate, sterilize it, and take a small sample of mycelium from one of the other jars and safely inject into the jars (I have a way, it involves a straw) would it spread and work out? Thanks.

gonna say no on that. id say fruit it. get you a spore print. then you will have enough to do 60 jars. sound good? or maybe even two prints? n

Is there a reason why it wouldn't work? I don't get it. If I have my shit sterilized and cooled off, with instead of holes on the side a big hole in the center where i left a closed straw during sterilisation, take a clean piece of mycelium with some tweezers and put it down the straw while being as sterile as possible, why wouldn't it work?

it absolutely could work. if you avoid contamination... and so far your record with these jars is 8 out of 10 contamed? on the other hand, like above says, one single spore print will do you a whole lot more good... if you really want to avoid getting more spores fruiting and printing your own is by far the smarter choice.

don't know how to explain... it might work. when pigs fly threw my living room. i don't mean to sound like an ass. but it won't. give it a try if you want to.. and screw up the two colonized jars that you have. fruit them out... eat a few ....and take some prints. you won't be sorry. patience is key.... read on printing or get a fresh syringe from a vendor

this guy is a noob... i give him about 10% chance of making this work and thats with every shroom god in this forum meditating and praying for him. common.... its brf maybe if he chunked some into a grain jar and shook now then he might have something

It'd be really tough to do without contaminating the whole pot. It's probably not worth the risk. Who's to say the straw that you're planning on using is sterile? Do you have the means to ensure something like that?

What? None were contaminated. Did you even read my post? Now that i think about it i have to make a change and smash up the mycelium and stir it around with the straw. (Which would be sterile because it'd be in the jars when i sterilized them)
Sterileness should not be that big of an issue if tape up my straws and have everything sealed correctly, i'll just take that mush of mycelium (which was mushed up in utmost sterility) open the straw real fast and dump it in from its sterile container. Than i'd pull out the straw and have someone ready with a piece of tape to cover it.
And it'd all be done in my very sterile, draftless house with sterile things.

I burnt the jars, they hit 110 degrees because of a heating problem.
And this idea seems fail proof to me. If I do do it, I'll post the grow log right here. If this turns out to be fast and easy, I might write a "mycelium straw- no syringe required" Tek.
