I prepared my mushroom jars about 3 weeks ago, and so far mycelium growth has been good.
I had used my roommate's glass cups (he's a strange guy), and yesterday he got extremely angry when he found that I was using them for growing mushrooms. He told me to empty them out so he could wash the glasses out.
I grabbed a cardboard slab and slid out the cakes on it, and put it in my ukelele case. I rushed to the store & bought 3 tupperware bowls, came back and quickly put the cakes in them.
Probably wasn't the best handled situation, but now I'm worried that I ruined them.
I checked for contamination, and saw a tiny bit of blue bruising on a few of the cakes, but overall it doesn't look like there was contamination.
Another concern is that the cakes aren't as sealed up as they were in the jars. There's lots of empty room in the bowls they're currently in, will this affect anything?
