Spawn been sitting...

BigAlBlack · 11-02-09, 05:29

i've had some pints of spawn sitting for a 3 to 4 weeks since they've been fully colonized

is it still possible to spawn these to a bulk substrate?

Yeah, they will likely be okay. It is better to use fresher spawn (newer mycelium wil grow more vigorously), or you can refrigerate what you have until you are ready to make your bulk.

That spawn should rip just fine.
MLB gives the best advice - refrigerate until ready for use.

couple weeks, couple months, you will be fine. biggest problem would be not enough spawn
