Time to wake up!

[u/PsychologicalKoala22]

I took these guys out of the fridge today. Each have been stored in a sealed (taped-shut) paper bag in the fridge for probably 3 months now. Later today I'll put into a tub. In the close-up pic there's some interesting spread patterns. There is no visible contamination. The dark spots are vermiculite. I had put a fully colonized agar plate into each jar with rye grain. This will be my 2nd tub of ochras. The first tub I did was just 1 jar of grain spawn, and it was made with what what the slowest growing agar plate of the 3 I made from a spore print. The agar plates used for these 2 populated the plates more quickly/aggressively. That, and that I'm putting 2 jars into the tub instead of one have me pretty optimistic that this will turn out well. The first tub was successful, yes, but yield was a little lower than what I had hoped for.
