 What is inside a pf cake?

Hello,
Just curious as to whether the mycelium grows thoughout the entire cake or is it just on the surface of the cake?
I noticed after picking my shrooms that they had roots. I am assumeing the mycelium grows on the outside and when the shrooms grow they send roots into the cakes for nourishment?
Has anyone ever cut one of their cakes in half?

I cant believe you bothered asking that before looking on the site, no they dont have roots and of course the mycelium grows through the whole cake.

Wow, with talk like this I would be suprised if anyone helps you out anymore.
There arte alot of posts where the answers are simply, Do a search.
Luckily for you ,you didnt get an answer like, "USE THE FUCKING SEARCH BUTTON".
I have seen that answer many times in these forums.
Chill out a lil bit dude.
And use the search button.
Peace.

I had this same question, on my first batch of jars. You know what I did?
Crumbled a cake.
also if you are already picking fruit, it should be obvious.

Why would i crumble a perfectly good cake after only one flush when i can get 2 or 3 more flushes out of it?
I am not that curious.
It was a simple question and telling me to use the search engine and then rant on about bs took longer than it would to simply answer the question.

I took a look at the threads from your results and none of them mentioned if mycelium grows throughout the cake explicitly.

True. The term 'fully colonized' is usually used. Mushrooms do not have roots. They grow from, and are part of, the mycelium network.

I didn't even wait to fruit them before I crumbled one. Losing one cake was not that much of a concern. I wanted to make sure that the cakes were fully colonized, and that I even knew what fully colonized ment.
As a first timer it was pretty cool seeing and learning about all the different stages of development. Later I learned that I could have cased that cake and not wasted it. Which is what my next project will be.
Always search before you post. Your questions seem very strange of someone who has actually picked fruit&used the search feature. Had you said "My cakes are colonizing and I am curious....?"it would have made more sense. And there are lots of posts about slicing and casing the cakes.

What a waste.

I guess some people are needlessly wasteful when you could have simply asked experienced people who have no doubt cut a cake to get rid of contams and would know the answer. But i guess that wouldnt help much because they would tell you to do a search for the nearly impossible then link irrelevent search results with dancing smilies like a friggin idiot.

I do, but this was one of those cases with tricky search terms and it was like finding a needle in a hay stack. A simple yes no answer would have been sufficient without all this petty bullshit.
Quote:

I agree, but very few of them mention if the mycelium run throughout the cake. It is usually about slicing contams off or slicing them for casing or slicing them for some other reason making those thread completely useless to my question.
Thanks for zero help and wasting my fucking time.
And thanks RR, helpful as always.

I agree with you onemind, I think the answer to your question was obvious but only because I've been doing this for a while, but you're completely correct that as a beginner there's no info out there as to what 100% colonized really means.
I would normally be one of the assholes to say do a search, but I think your point here is well defended, and maybe the rest of us should not always be dicks, as I've asked questions that don't always get responses that are more complicated than this, but don't get answers.
What does it matter when someone could simply tell you that yes, cakes colonize 100% throughout the entire cake, which is the reason that we let them colonize a week after 100% visible colonization just to be sure.

Kwitcherbitchin... seriously guys, there is no problem here.
Though, I believe this might have been mentioned above, it does take a little while to get the hang of this search engine and the best wording for finding a specific item.
Onemind, for these sorts of questions you might find it more useful to consult the assorted sections of the 'Cultivation FAQ'. They tend to be a little more streamlined than the search engine for these sorts of things, glossary related inquiries and such. A strait read through the FAQ sections will offer a good exposure to all common terminology you may need to ask about.

yeah, the boards can be helpful but honestly the search feature can be lacking if you can't nail the right keywords.
I think everything under the "Mushroom Info" tab and "Grow Mushrooms" is all you need. Just read everything that pops up under that. even if it's not something you're planning to do to begin, because it really just drives in the process of what is happening from the bottom up.
That was more helpful for me than anything I've read in the forums. . . except for Teks perhaps.
. . . everyone started somewhere so there's really no need for people to flame noobs it just turns people off to the site and the community in general.

I agree that you have a legitimate question, but next time if you cant find soemhting you want to know in a search tne start off by mentioning you did a search and couldnt find what you were looking for .... Im sure you would have gotten better responses, and theres no need to be a dick, it is just a misunderstanding that started because your didnt clarify that you did search .... no harm done, just know for next time

If I came off as condescending I apologize.
The point I was trying to make, in regards to crumbling my first cake was that if you plan on advancing in this hobby the boards are only going to take you so far. Your going to have to do a little hands on experimenting in order to develop a feel for what you are really doing here.
I am very new here, and to this hobby, and I feel like a dick for the tone of my earlier post. Good luck with everything. I am sure I have had, and will continue to have many questions that seem stupid to people with more experience.

Bullshit. Heaps of people ask questions without saying they did a search. It is ludicrous to qualify every question with this search nonsense, hardly anyone does. How am i to know which one of my questions will result in some prick telling me to search, none of my other questions have recived this pathetic crap.

I asked a question about blue cakes just after this one and not one person mentioned anything about searching and searching for blue cakes would have been easier than this question.

Fuck that, next time i ask a question i wont be saying jack shit about searching.

I am not training to be a fucking mycologist and if i want to advance i wont even use cakes. I will use horse shit and ask horse shit questions.
