Crumbled BRF cakes

Do u think that anything is going to happen if I just crumble several panama BRF cakes and leave them as they are without casing or anything else.

You are going to want to spawn it to something. A crumbled up cake by itself is not going to do you much good, if any.

Why would you crumble them?
Do you mean to case them or just..leave them crumbled.
I think if you crumbled them, they would dry out wayyyyyyyyy fast, all that surface area and what not. But I suppose if your RH is right anythings possible?

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Probably if I leave them crumbled without a casing layer at all the surface is going to dry out fast.

I think if you're going to crumble your cakes you might as well spawn to bulk. Pasteurize some manure or straw or coir and mix in your spawn. Go for a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio of spawn to bulk. If you do what you're talking about, and just crumble the cake, there's really no benefit to that, unless you dislike your mycelium in cake form...No point in just crumbling, really. You won't get more and its just going to take more time for it to fruit.

whats your intention of crumbling them if your not going to spawn them to bulk? The myc would just waste energy trying to repair itself.

As long as you can maintain high humidity a crumbled cake will fruit. Fruit as you would a cake, misting and fanning.
I wouldnt suggest doing it though, theres no benifit and the only thing you will see is longer fruiting times with an increased chance of contamination. When you crumble, you weaken your mycelium. It has to repair the network before it can fruit.
I crumbled several cakes into different tubs and harvested most of my cakes that i fruited as cakes before my crumbled shit did anything. My crumbled cakes put out what a cake would put out left alone.

Well since I had no other ingredients I covered the crumbled cakes with vermiculite. Is that okay?

Yes vermiculite is ok, I have it in 1 of my crumbled tubs and its now starting to pin.
Im not sure if i really needed it though but it will atleast provide some additional moisture

I'm going to be spawning crumbled BRF cakes to horse poo in trays here pretty soon. Very easy...
Just crumble your BRF cakes into small bits. Then mix that in with your pasteurized horse poo in whatever ratio and size tray you want to use (aluminum or plastic). I'm using some aluminum baking trays that are pretty deep. I want a 1:3 ratio so I'm mixing 1 pints worth of BRF cake to 3 pints worth of horse poo. So that's 4 pints total per tray which on these trays gives me a substrate depth a little shy of 3 inches. Then I'm going to cover that in aluminum foil and let it incubate for a week, check it and let it finish. Once that bulk substrate is colonized I'm going to place it in a shotgun FC with spacers under the trays to keep it up off of the perlite. Easy!

well described, your one of the few that I've found who can clearly describe their technique.
bravo
