Well, surface area plays a major role in overall yeild. When you break apart you cakes, your increasing the surface area of mycelium(spawn) meaning more places for fruits to pop up. Unlike a cake that can only pin on the outter surface. Casings also provide more moisture for fruit developement, thus yeilding bigger and more fruit.

More surface area=more pins
more moisture=larger yield in #s and weight
micro climate more stimulative to pins=more pins
Unsterlized casing=beneficial microorganisms
beneficial microorganisms=more pins
more pins=more fruit
more fruit=more yield

PM me with any cultivation questions.

I just looked at my profile and realized I had a website at one point in time on geocities, it's not there anymore and I have no idea what I had on it. Anybody remember my website from several years aga? PM if so please.

also, most of the time people are casing substrates with much more nutrition than the mostly verm formulas that get fruited as cakes. In that case
more nutrients=more yield
also, most people break up whatever substrate they are casing just prior to casing. This is like a mini catastrophe in nature, like disturbed earth. For some reason many mushrooms including cubes like this semi stress and produce more. So in this case,
simulated catastrophe=more yield
Also most people get many flushes out of casings. In this case,
Multiple flushes=much more yield
