New sandcastle tub

Just g2gd a bunch of thais a couple days ago so the tub will be mixed and put together in about a week. Using 1/2 pint jars instead of red solo cups this time around and I've got my conditions much better dialed in this time around.

Nah, just 1/2 pint jars this time around. Had an issue with keeping the tall cakes hydrated enough last time. I had wall to wall flush but only the bottom 1/3rd of the cakes did anything worth while

Do you pasteurize at field capacity, or do you squeeze out excess water when finished? I'm just wondering why your bags aren't floating...
I've had half gallon jars float up on me before at field capacity requiring either a weight on top or more water.

You've just gotta stuff the jars tight af and they don't float until way high. Problem is that they're stuffed so tight I usually have to use a spoon to dig it out of the jars xD. But if I stuff tight I can fit 3-4 quarts into 2 qts

Looking good, pins are coming in and on the tops of the cakes also. Last time I couldn't get the top half of the cakes to pin so this is a step in the right direction

LOL In the first and second pics it's hard at first to see the 3D of the cake. I don't think I've ever seen a grow like this. Usually cakes birth on perlite or crumbled into sub.

Yeah he's done this before, hence "sandcastle tub", he makes these coir towers and... we all sit and watch what happens because it's cool.
But yeah if you haven't seen it it's because nobody else really does this.

Yes...
We should have a mushroom sandcastle sculpting contest :P Get a bunch of cakes and stack em up cut them to look like what you want. Or colonize a giant block and cut it like an big ice block.
But very excited to see the results OP

any updates ppp? im following in your footsteps. was this one cased? i didn't take the route of applying a casing layer on this first attempt. thought it would be a pita to put the casing on.

Meh, it's going ok I guess. Still not the results I'm looking for. Still having a moisture issue with the cakes, the sub just want to suck them dry. On top of that I think I may have better luck with a diff variety other than ksss, maybe some cams or b+ next time around and I think some sort of barrier between the cakes and sub would do wonders.

And no, I didn't add any casing or top layer this run either

have you thought about trying something taller in place of the cups? so you get the fruiting surface and maximize vertical growth? something like twice as tall as one of those cups. i think that would increase surface area.

I tried tall solo cups before this and the top half of the cakes didn't pin because of moisture retention issues, that's why I went with half pints this time
