Thin layer of BRF mixture in a shallow Pyrex dish w/ dry verm layer on top. Mostly did it to watch the growth of the myc. Grows pretty fast like this.

Wow in a square Pyrex dish, thats interesting. How do you plan of fruiting it? Will you use the standard SGFC method for normal BRF cakes? I wonder how well it would perform if you used it as a bass for a mini monotub with a casing layer?

The sub usually shrink up a bunch, but I suppose I could case it just like anything else in the glass... In the past I have cut them like a cake into rectangles and then put them into meat-loaf aluminum trays and case them. It was mainly to see the rate of growth. I'll update here again once it gets a little further along (couple of days).

Shit I'd just fruit that sucker as one big ass cake, just elevate it off the perlite with a couple little 1/4 pint size jars or a rack. Should fruit pretty good like that.

I will probably just end up dunking and rolling it in dry verm. I have a wire rack that I could to use to elevate it up in my FC.

So I totally forgot about this guy. I ended up crumbling it up, spawning to bulk, then I broke up the consolidated bulk into smaller containers with holes and about 2" of perlite on the bottom. so that I could give them away for presents and they could make a road trip. They just started pinning. Take a look:

That's very interesting. I've tried just about every size and shape of jar or glass. Never considered trying a pyrex dish. What do you think the dimensions of that were 12" x 12" kinda thing?
How many inoculation points did you do? Using spore syringe, LC, Agar? About how long did it take to fully colonize?
Sorry for so many questions. Just might try this. You could do about a dozen inoculation points in such a shallow wide dish.
Very cool bro

I think it's 10x7. I made about 6 inoc points. Some Pyrex comes with plasic lids that you can use, but I don't want to make holes in them. Took about 2 weeks to colonize. I didn't wait for consolidation, just crumbled and spawned to bulk, then let that sit for about another 15 days.
If you are considering wanting to use a flat cake, I suggest these:

You can get a 4 pack from Wal-mart for $2 a 4pk.
I typically use LC or MS. Don't use agar if I don't have to. Too much work, but people around these parts frown on using LC.
