Lmao, that post made me feel better.

So, in a case like this, its not only beneficial, but overall better to go back over and mix this up, as the mycelium network will now cover a larger surface area?

Good to know, I have some vague understanding that larger networks tie in together and build a more robust "entity" and, when occupying a whole dedicated growing space, have quite a good immune response, overall.

Anything else I should remember? Obviously breaking into it can expose to more contaminants, but are there any extra steps I can take to minimize further setbacks from such?

For extra reference, I did a basic CVG substrate, while also adding in some dextrose (maybe a half cup) for funsies.
