That'd be a badass experiment
Like stack them on each other? Sort of like the column method of cultivating Shiitake?
I'd be down to try that sometime.

I actually meant like this:
Currently, your trays are horizontal - growing as so _ My idea is to make them grow vertically - growing as so |
It'd be snazzy to have an FC with walls of sub that grow inwards, and then a floor of it as well. FAE would obviously have to be introduced artificially.
I actually thought of making an igloo out of substrate blocks while trying to fall asleep the other night.

That's pretty out there.
Fruiting them vertically might very well be a great idea, though; you couldn't really get anymore surface area than that!

Plus it would be photogenic as hell! I'm actually seriously considering doing this with oysters now (the tray thing).

Surely I shall let thee know! I just need to get a PC and find some grains, OR a local spawn vendor.
I found a shop that sells 5kg coir bricks for ~2 bucks

It'd smell awesome from the inside, too. I made a cheap igloo out of snow packed into buckets, the walls were legit but we used a tarp for the ceiling and covered it with snow.
I'm going to have to hire someone with experience to help me out

I actually found one in my neighbor's cabinet last night while finding a pot to make dinner in
It's a Futura, sadly it only holds about 1 ~1 quart jar
Better than nothing, though, and good for agar.

Well, the 2nd flush has started. There were some annoying problems, such as needing to disassemble the greenhouses and place the trays back into the boxes with lids to hide from an inspection. Took a lot of work, for no reason, really. Just safety. They're back in the greenhouse now.
There are pins here and there, not really sure what to expect being as the conditions have been far from ideal at the important time in pin formation. I'll post photos when they're mature.

UPDATE:
Well, I'm ambivalent about the casing replacement. On one hand, I lost a bunch of trays due to contams during the second casing run. I'm not really sure how to work around that. Many contaminated during the casing run, (AKA casing incubation) and then another 5 or 6 contaminated in the greenhouse before producing fruits. I'm thinking it's due to dunking before the casing run. Next time, which is tomorrow, I'm gonna scrape off the casing layer, re-apply another casing layer, do a casing run/ casing incubation, and THEN do a dunking on some of them before placing into a greenhouse. Some will not be dunked. Also, some of the trays I'm going to re-crumble, hopefully to encourage some aggressive mycelial growth, maybe to give better results. We'll see. I only plan on doing this to one or two of them.
I think most of them will simply get another application of casing, go through a casing run, and then be placed back into the greenhouse. Casings are an ideal way to feed moisture to the substrate blocks, as I'll be fruiting them for the third flush, so I'm not exactly sure a dunking is necessary here. We'll find out. I'm just concerned about the fucking fruit flies. I'll probably place some strips of fly paper into the containers, that way if there are any left after scraping the casing layer off, they'll die.
Anyway, the results were FANTASTIC from the ones with a second casing layer applied!
...as good as many get on a first flush.
There was a miscommunication somehow about how to fruit the blocks, and my wife ended up just setting them into the greenhouse in the trays. Ended up working for the best, though, as we had an inspection at the apartment, and boxed everything up for it. Wasn't necessary. They didn't look in any of the closets or anything. Still better to be safe.
...anyway, resulted in some interesting bottom fruits, almost invitro-like. Still large an weighty.
Since I lost almost all of the trays this time around - well, about half, anyway - I'm not going to bother posting dry weight, I don't think. Anyway, I'm gonna be making up some bulk substrate soon to fruit in my greenhouse, so I should get going on making up the coir now, so that it can get pasteurized later, and I'll spawn to it tomorrow night.
