Fresh Air?
    #6817431 - 04/21/07 11:33 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I have some jars colonizing and i was wondering if i needed to cut holes in the lid of the mason jars so the myc can breath or can i just take the lids off and use tin foil?

Do not remove the lid during colonization. This is a sure way for them to get contaminated. The mycelium does need to "breathe," or in other words, it needs gas exchange.

If there are no holes, then just unscrew the jar lid a half a turn, and it should do fine.
