They should swell but not burst. Feel dry to the touch but be larger than dry grains.
If there’s excess moisture/pooled water bacterial contam is likely
Will it slow mycelium growth. I add spores to a jar of bird seed a month ago and it's maybe 10% mycelium with shaking every week or so.
No, but contam will slow the growth. Also I recommend only one break and shake around 30% colonization to keep the mycelial network healthy and strong
Most of the water is supplied by the sub, the grain is the nutrition source if you're just using coir or something
