Bulk Cakes \ Super Cakes log
    #18760349 - 08/26/13 04:27 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

This is my first bulk cake project. I figured might as well post a log of this grow whether its successful or not. But things seem to be progressing.

Simple breakdown

Large Glass Cups, not sure the exact size.

Spawn: 3 brf cakes(1/2 pint). Used approx 3/4 from each cake, broke it up, sprayed with 1.5% h202\water. For hydrating spawn and hopefully delay the nasties from growing.

Substrate: Coir\Verm\Straw\Gypsum\Calcium Carbonate 30%\30%\40% Approx 3.25qt split between the large glass cups

Lid: Tinfoil with four holes on the top covered with micropore tape

This should work out well.  There is no need for H202.  It does kill some nasties, but if you PC'd these right you should have no problem.  Did you use a verm layer as a filter?  Are you going to lay them on there sides when fruiting for more surface area?

These are BRF cakes broken up and spawned to larger coir cakes.  They don't need to be PCed, and they don't need a dry verm barrier.

Bulk substrate should never be sterilized.  It was probably pasteurized, and I'm willing to bet OP used a proper pasteurization tek.

Yea.. I broke up my shitty colonized brf cakes, which had a verm layer.
The big cups only have sub and spawn. I will probably stand them up, I just may need horizontal space in my SGFC.

van der griegen pretty much summed it up :thumbup:

Not really, a small mushroom has the ability to split asphalt

Serious question: do you sterlize your substrate?

No idea if a cube can, but I thought it was common knowledge that some mushrooms and plants can push through asphalt under the right circumstances...

I know plants/roots can but I'm keen to learn more about mushrooms doing it. I'm not denying it's possible, I just want to see it

Dude, do a google search for "mushroom through asphalt". It's not that hard. :wink:

My internet plan has been capped at 256kbps until the end of the month, otherwise I would have already done this by now. Curiosity got the better of me though and I persisted with the frustration... HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! It's totally legit.

I've seen wire grass do it but never a mushroom. I'd pay to see that!

Yet so many homeowners with newly paved driveways would pay not to.. =P

In all seriousness though, this hardly relates to OP; maybe we should get back on track?

Did you put a layer of dry verm at the top to act as a filter? Those things look huge!

Awesome!




I didn't put any dry verm for the big glass cups. Im hoping it will colonize fast enough so contam is evaded.

Those pics of mush growing through concrete.. wow. Those are some determined mushrooms.
This is also going off track with the thread, but i found this link through one of the google pics. Now this is frickin cool :strokebeard:... http://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/tiny-house-mostly-made-mushrooms.html
