What's Better: Wafering or Crumbling?
    #7210339 - 07/22/07 02:57 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

I am going to case some of my cakes by putting them on top of a layer of verm and then a layer of verm/peat/lime on top of that. I can't decide whether I should crumble my cakes or just slice them into wafers. Any suggestions?

whats the difference they will still colonize to make one giant block of mycelium.

Just wondering if you could get a bigger block by having empty holes (wafers) or if that would take too long so it would just be better to have a whole layer with no emptiness (crumble)

Might as well just fruit like a cake rolled in verm it's going to yield the same.Or better yet spawn it to straw or horse manure.

No doubt. slicing them works better for just fruiting a cake considering surface area. But for a casing def. crumble

when using cakes as a spawn the same rule of thumb works with the cakes or with the grains. The more surface area, the faster the mycelium will spread out and colonize the new substrate.

Crumbling gives much more surface area over sliced wafers.
