I definitely will I've read up on it somewhat, especially how Frank gets shit done.. These casings are the product of two free pre-steralised mushbags.. I don't actually own a pressure cooker yet(next purchase) as soon as I do imma spawn to bulk in a monotub probably coir and verm, seems to be the easiest I spose I couldn't be assed making a whole monotub set up and buying coir and a jam thermometer just for one grow :S

spring for the pc if u got the cash, otherwise if u need to wait a month or so till u have it, do up some 1/2 pints steam sterilized, and then by the time u got the cash for the PC, u will b able to (hopefully) birth ur initial batch. or...... take a look at chronicr's $50 thread, he had great success steam sterilizing grains if u wanna take that route

50/50. maybe try the brf thing first. i still do cakes, and i have a pc. u can still spawn to bulk with cakes, just follow any bulk tek and substitute the grains for brf. just double ur spawn cause they are just 1/2 pints (and make sure u get the shirt one, but that is all gone over in the brf tek i linked u to.)

Updates

Couple of quick questions; How worried should I be about the side pinning..? What's that blotchy patch on the stem of the mushroom in the second picture? Is that slug looking thing on my cake a mutant ? When abouts should I harvest the biggest mofo... The veil appears to have torn :P

lookin good
I wouldn't worry too much about side pinning. It just makes it a little more difficult come harvesting.
As for the blotchy patch, are you referring the the brown or the white at the base of the stem?
Yes that is a mutant, if were looking at the same thing. Also I'd say the bigger one would be ready to harvest in a day 1 to and 1/2 days give or take a little. You'll just have to play it by ear.

Just keep an eye on it, it might even need to be harvested by partway through tomorrow tho. They can grow quite fast when they're nearing maturity.
As for the brown I'm not quite positive but it looks like it just might be some discoloration on the stem, sometimes it happens.

I think this might be the mast update before the first harvest 
 I'm really happy with the mushrooms on the first casing as it's a MS innoc..I think I'm going to clone some myc from the fluffy bit at the base of the main mushroom mass or maybe some from the biggest fruit... I'm not 100% how it works :') I'll have to do some reading

I'd say the biggest one is ready to harvest and even possibly the second biggest one. The rest definitely aren't far behind.

Should I cut them off? Or give it awhile longer and harvest together... I've never picked one of these and I don't want to end up pulling the whole clump off!! D:

It's preference whether you want to harvest them as they're ready or all at the same time. I personally harvest as they're ready. Yes just cut as close to the base as possible (I use a scalpel for this and even tweezers if it's difficult to reach. Sometimes it's impossible not to uproot nearby fruits so don't worry too much just be careful.
