Well the reason that the tote requires holes everywhere is for fresh air exchange. Without it the mushrooms with suffocate and won't fruit. Mushrooms breathe oxygen, so it needs quite a bit of FAE.
It's really up to you if you want to do bulk or not, you'll probably get more in bulk, but many people on here like cakes better. Crumble and casing isn't super beneficial IMO.
You should put the cakes on foil or the jar lids, and fruit like that in a SGFC.
Search up a shot gun fruiting chamber tek, and you'll be able to make a good terrarium.

THank you for your response, I am very much a noob still. So it has to have holes in tote or they wont fruit? I cant just open up the lid say 3 or 4 times a day and fan for a minute to replace oxygen? and would it possibly be easier to plant the cakes outside in a warmer northern spot and use something like moes tek? The strain is b+ and i read that they would be fairly forgiving in when it comes to temperature but it has been very humid in my region as of lately.

If I were you I'd build the sgfc, you may get fruits the way you described but these guys wont steer you wrong (well most of them) spend the 8 bucks and 30 min it takes you will be happy you did

It could work, but you'd be missing out on a lot of the FAE that fruits need. It'd be better to just make a SGFC if you're doing cakes or trays.

would the tupperware container work to put a little bit of casing substrate in the bottom and then a entire cake, and then cover it with another inch of casing? And okay thank you, I will research more about the Shotgun style terrarium.

Thank you very much, I am going to go ahead and try to poke holes in all sides of the tote. What is something that is generally 1/4 inch that is used to make the holes?

Do you have a drill or know someone that does? Easiest way imo

No I am actually not good with power tools at all and don't want to involve anyone else with my task at hand. Would a bigger nail work if I got it super hot? Although this will be strenuous...

spend the 15$ bucks on a drill or 15$ on a propane torch and a fat nail. both items should be use to you again in either this hobby or other applications.

A drill bit and drill works best however if thats unavailable use a soldering iron or maybe an awe (like a screw driver but the tip comes to a sharp point) shit a bic pen is about a 1/4 in diameter but i doubt thatd work id say ask the fine folks at home depot or wherever you get your tote from by the way size matters (kinda) you wanna be able to fit at least 5in of feild capacity (wet strained perlite) which is not that hard to make (i used my sgfc as the strainer) but i recomend 66qt storage tote. =)

Waiting for perlite to dry? WTF no, just use it.
Also, the purpose of a fruiting chamber isn't to keep humid air in, its to make air move around and promote fresh air exchange. That's why there are so many holes in an SGFC. The air needs to be able to flow THROUGH the perlite.

Hmm might work your holes arnt really spaced in a 2in x 2in grid but they look like the right size also you can upload by clicking pics right under the welcome (insert username here) then click upload in the top left choose your file (and a folder if you want) then click upload and boom copy and paste the code it gave you in your post =D also you can check my thread here if you wanna reference http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21693269/page/1

I dont know how to make a new thread and I thought of this the other day... How do people in other countries such as india and jamaica grow mushrooms so successfully if the #1 rule of growing mushrooms is being sterile? Is it because most of there growing is done outdoors?

Lol what? Does being in another country make it impossible to be sterile? I'm sure they have pressure cookers, glass jars and flames just like the rest of the world.
