getting cakes out of jar
    #7444068 - 09/23/07 01:12 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

i birthed a cake today, one that had already started growing mushrooms while still in the jar, and it was hard as HELL to get out. a quarter of it just broke off and all the mushrooms on it looked severely bruised. is it always this difficult to slide out? it wouldnt slide out!

Did you make sure to buy wide-mouthed jars? If you don't get the wide-mouthed kind, the cake will usually be too big to get out in one piece. Why the hell did you wait for invitro pins before birthing? It would have been better to birth the cake earlier and let it fruit in a fruiting chamber.

the jar wasnt dont colonizing. there was still a small portion on the bottom left uncolonized, which is where i think the trouble started. the top half of the cake had shrunk yet the bottom which was less colonized and for a lesser time had not shrunk at all.

i've had that shit. i think it started with when i sterilized the jars in a pot, the heat from the bottom dried the bottom of the jars, so that part was difficult to colonize for the mycelium.

Hmm... yea, wide mouth jars are a must. They should slide out pretty easy with one good slam on a countertop.

Do you shake up your jars? You didn't mention the substrate, but with grain jars its worth shaking now and then to make sure the whole thing gets colonized evenly.

I like to shake them:
- NOT right after I inoculate them. I want to see the growth along the sides of the jar so I know what's going on before I do anything.
- After a nickel-to-quarter sized spot appears in the jar
- After the mycelium's grown back after the first shake
- No more after the mycelium has spread pretty evenly throughout the jar (there is no need to spread it anymore.)

I'd try to pick those pinners cleanly to stop them from dying and infecting (eat them if they're clean!) and use the rest of the cake (in chunks or otherwise) to inoculate some pasteurized straw or something... Good luck!

follow the move that leads off the chessboard...

Don't know if the pins could have caused it to stick in but i wouldn't fruit invitro if i were you...

pins never hinder a cake coming out of the jar. even with wide mouths some cakes refuse to pop out. somehow a few have managed to stick to the bottom because when finally popping out there are pieces of myc stuck to the bottom. some grip that is.

so the mushrooms that got bruised are going to rot? one of them was ripped in half but the base is still attached to the cake, will it still grow? will the bruised ones grow?

Just rip em off, dunk, and roll. You'll be fine.
