I think I killed the kombucha.

It's been about half a week and the fungus kombucha blob is just lying listlessly on the bottom of the sweet tea.  Here's why I think I killed it:  When I was trying to get it out of the bottle to put into the pickle jar I accidentally peeled off the slimy goo that forms a protective membrane around the fungus.  DD assures me that this won't kill it, but my spidey senses were tingling when that happened so I'm not so sure.
