transfer of shiitake CB3 liquid culture via 22G syringe to two supplemented sawdust/wood dowel half pint jars, 3 mL each. next transfer will be same process one week from now.

transferred additional 1 qt jar of pearl oyster CA3 colonized grain to 1 monotub. why? because it had to be used and that tub was lagging the other. will i introduce contamination pointlessly and spoil the batch? we shall see.

composted additional 1qt jar pearl CA3. overhydrated and half colonized, as is most of the batch due to reconstituting and re-sterilizing an old batch of unused grain jars gone dry.
