Jar Lids On/ Off during Incubation
    #7744031 - 12/11/07 07:52 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I am using 1 pint jars to initiate psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. I used very small sized vermiculite to put on top of the cake in and below the jar lid. There is a layer over 1/2 inch of this vermiculite. My cakes are colonized to the point where just the bottom of the jars is uncolonized. Does anyone know if it is safe to completely remove the jar lids so that the mycelium can breathe better and to increase the growth rate? Is it possible to get a contamination if I do this?

Correct. If the bottoms simply won't colonize, you can try flipping them upside down.

You never want to expose non-colonized substrate in jars to open air.

Please don't open three posts at a time. Open a single post and ask all the questions there.

Opening numerous posts at the same time is seen as bad form (and is probably against the forum rules)
