Using mycelium to colonize jars.

just a quick question. would it be possible to crack up a brf cake into small pieces and then put each piece in a separate jar with wbs? just trying to think of ways to cut down the time from spore to mycelium and just have active mycelium colonize a substrate.

Isn't that just the same concept as a grain to grain transfer? Except it's cake to grain? Seems pretty fool proof to me as long as the cake is sterile, as well as the WBS.

I would think that this would work. Actually a few days ago i set up an experiment involving taking a piece of mycelium and dropping it in a BRF/Verm mix, Only thing i have to worry about is contams (and i think there's to much water in the jar). Other than that there is no reason it wouldnt work i dont think.

Of course but contam risk is high especially with WBS.

You would have less chance of contamination if you injected some water deep into a fully colonized cake, and then drew it back out again. Use this as your inoculant for the wbs. RR

That is excellent advice I think I will do that instead of G2G.
