Whe nyou work from spores its ok to shake them, I prefer leaving it so the spores that germinate get to combat each other tight there at the source for dominace rather than have pieces of jar with diffirent genetics combat each other for resources and dominance later on. once they reach about the size of a large coin you can shake it up (but it will disturb your verm layer in the bottom), and then again every time tehen new patches grow out to that size, overall it doesn't seem to make a diffirence in how long it takes to eat the jar up.
Liquid cultres tend to take shakeing up worse than multispore injections.
This was a side by side check for shakeing VS no shakeing, all the jars finished at the same time.
The straight jars are made by Consol.
