g2g - break up mycelium in bag
    #5892490 - 07/23/06 09:27 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I have some colonized jars ready for g2g. The last 2 I used I broke up by slamming them on a phone book which was on concrete. I could not completely break them up. There were still a few large chunks about 1

A fully inflated tire works much better than a phone book. If your grains won't break up by beating five or six times against a tire, they're contaminated with bacteria which tends to glue them all together.

Hopefully, you're not trying to break up a brf jar that way. Those have to be spooned out, or if you're using one to g2g into a substrate bag, just dump it in whole and knead with your hands after sealing the bag.

They are quart jars of colonized millet. They will be transferred to quart jars of millet. They were incubated for too long probably. That is why I think they stick together. When mycelium grows over bacterially contaminated substrate does it kill the bacteria? If the tire doesn't work, are you saying I just shouldn't use the jar?

Correct. If it won't break up by banging against a tire, they're hosed. You also don't use old spawn for grain to grain transfers. You want young, rapidly growing mycelium that has just colonized the grain master.

I know it isn't optimal, but if it show decent growth when transferred shouldnt it be ok?

Also, does mycelium kill bacteria?
