Making Spawn out of Spent Cakes.
    #1755839 - 07/28/03 11:02 AM (20 years, 7 months ago)

I was just wondering if I coud throw a few of my spent cakes in a nice thing of pasturized manure and straw I made up last night for some birdseed to spawn, but I have some left over. Can I spawn those old cakes?

I thinks it would be useless as a "spwaning " material , but some have mentioned using used SUBS as a casing material . I do not think it would work well with spent PF cakes though .

Could try chemically extracting what little yummy brain juices are left ! :smirk: 
PS try making a small outdoor patch where you dump your old cakes , you never know . myc may have enough energy left to colonize and outdoor patch , but also makes a good compost for veggie garden , if you are into that sort of thing .

i have posted on this subject before. it is possible to use pf cakes as spawn, i have in the past used a cheese grater to break them up. it works well with fresh cakes. there is a rather high contam rate though, probably due to so much handling.

how spent are we talking about? some people toss cakes after the second flush into an outdoor bed with suplimented straw or manure. this is because rent on terrarium space does not justify keeping old cakes when the space is needed to raise fresh ones.

i rarely use pf tek anymore, even for my edibles, as i have gone on to bigger and more advanced proceedures.

Before switching to WBS, my friend routinely grated his BRF cakes after the 2nd flush and used them to spawn straw & dung.

I read that too.But I also Read that if you use a spent cake as spawn the substrate with mycelium(spent cake) is very weak and can contam very very easy even though the mycelium spread to steril substrate the old spent cake will start to rot so it would be a waste of time to sterilize the substrate and a waste of substrate aswell

Have you ever tried it? Or are you simply parroting what you heard somewhere else?

so don't sterilise the substrate. you seldom need to, except for spores (with cubensis). listen to dog, he knows his shit.

and 2nd flush cakes are not "SPENT" dog you should get at least one more flush out of them

spent means no more flushes

SK i'm sorry but I disagree with you on that one
each time I never sterilized my substrate I got contams cobweb,trich .I know the more steril you are in mushrooms the better even if you think it's not needed.Some people take showers, pull hair back,Clean cloths ect...before handling anything to do with mushrooms all it takes is a microscopic contam to trash you batch.I know this from experience and also read it from the top mycologist In the world and also in books and movies ect...

yeah I should chill out it's that I don't like when people saying i'm  "parroting" info when they themself used a friends tek and then have somebody tell me to listen to him.I ran into the same problem on a different post(same people) also today and let that one slide this one I had to say something.

sorry everybody if I got out of hand.

good luck with the tea MycoCakeEater:)

I wasn't trying to sound like an asshole Psilocybin_monkey. It comes naturally. "Parroting" was a poor choice of words on my part.

BTW, my friend and I are very close. So close that we are almost the same person.  :smirk: He's just too paranoid to post about his cultivation for himself.

Peace.

AFOAF once had a bunch of extra sterile popcorn from overestimating the amount he needed. He crushed up five spent cakes (third flush, they could have had a tiny fourth, but he calls that spent) in a big container with the popcorn.

The popcorn actually colonized amazingly quickly, but around the time it would have started to pin, trich took over.

AFOAF thinks that while it's not a bad idea to try, the liklihood of contams makes it not worth putting much effort into.

"A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations...

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed... The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people..."
