Where to Store Inoculated Jars?

Put your newly inoculated jars on a shelf at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. There is no need to “incubate” grain at warm temperatures in the dark, since the mycelium will grow happily in normal room temperature conditions.

Can you reuse inoculation jars?

BRF jars are the perfect growing medium for almost any gourmet mushroom strain. ... Once your BRF jar is fully colonized you can then birth the cake to your desired fruiting chamber. After you have birthed your cakes you can wash and reuse the jar and lid as well.

Do inoculated jars need air?

Yes, colonizing grain spawn needs a gas exchange from the jar. The Mycelium will suffocate, stall or die without it. Alongside this, gas exchange will prevent certain forms of bacteria and mold from colonizing inside the jar. Gas exchange should not be mistaken for fresh air exchange as these are two different things.
