Mycelium colonizing slowly
    #5825206 - 07/05/06 08:25 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I colonized 8 pint jars (rice flour / vermiculite) and all was going very well (jars colonizing rapidly) until the mycelium basically stopped growing on the very bottom of the jars. I checked out pertinent posts on this forum and followed advice - i.e., turned jars upside down - but still growth has slowed to practically a standstill. I've heard I could cauterize uncolonized areas and then birth the jars - is this relatively safe? thanks for any advice!

try this...

put the jar facing down and slap the jar lid into your hand...
dislodging the cake from touching the jar.

then leave the jar lid side down...

the air pocket(space)between the jar and cake sometime helps the cake finnish colonizing.

Thanks for the advice...though I still wonder whether it's somewhat safe to burn the uncolonized areas with a red hot nail head in order to birth the jars a bit ahead of schedule?

I think your problem is with Co2 in the jar.
