Putting cakes on wet verm.

Ok I have this friend in Norway right and it's legal to grow shrooms over there. He just started his first batch and the cakes have fully colonized and he's put em into his Fc's on alfoil so not to touch the perlite. Well, one of them just got their first pin and he was told to put wet verm on the alfoil, then stand the cakes on the wet verm and it should increase the pins and make bigger fruits. Is he right to follow this peice on informatrion, any thoughts? how would he do it? just dup a pile of wet verm on the foil then put the cake ontop? so its OK for the cake to directly touch wet verm? then why not perlite/
ill pass the comments onto my friend in norwaty.

hmmm never really heard of this practice but what people here do is after they take em out of the jar they do a dunk then after that wash with water then roll the entire cake in verm let dry a bit then lightly mist the hydrate the cakes and do it that way imo that would work alot better then just having it at the bottom of the cake.

Yeah, unfortunately my friend in norway just dunked them and didnt roll them. So assuming its OK to let the verm directly touch the cake, putting it intop of verm is better than nothing, yeah?

cheers mate. my norweigan friend made a lil stand out of alfoil (sort of like an upside down lid) which fit the verm inside it and stood the cake ontop.

hey retro you're buddy is on the right track! The wet verm on the bottom of the cake is actually made for double ended casing. It's where you make a vermiculite rezevoir in the middle and put wet verm on both top and bottom of the cake so that water drips through the verm rezevoir all the way through the cake. Without the verm rez though it's not even worth it to double end case.
tell your buddy that I told him he doesn't need to roll the cake. Dunking is a must but in my experience rolling isn't needed.
I wouldn't want to grow on perlite because it's makeup is of like crystal/glass. If a shroom grew on perlite it would likely colonize the perlite and then you would have all kinds of perlite stuck on your shrooms. I wouldn't want to eat perlite.
