One big shroom ?

Okay so i bought a cake and it only produced one very big shroom in about 2 or 3 weeks. how can i encourage it to grow more shrooms? also, does this one big shroom count as the first flush? should i put the cake in water for an hour like i normally do after harvesting a flush?
thanks

So much wrong here. Why/where did you buy a cake? Dunk for 24 hours after flush

Ahh i see. If money is of no consequence keep buying cakes/shrooms till you're happy with your supply. If the goal is to get better at growing, step one is to make your own cakes.

Home improvement stores like menards and home depot carry both vermiculite and perlite....look in the garden department.

Do those stores exist in places where you can buy cakes legally?

Vermiculite is not required for mushroom production...
Do some research man, its quite simple after some research, trials, failures....and once you figure all that out, you can supply yourself with endless.

Why... would it need to be dark to dunk? Sounds like you have some idea about something that complicates things unnecessarily.
Also vermiculite isn't NEEDED but it's VERY useful and I wouldn't let myself go without it.

Don't put it in the fridge... Too many possible contaminants... No matter how "clean" your fridge is... Put it in a plastic container with a lid with something to weight it down a little...cakes tend to float...If you are worried about someone seeing it.. Wrap the container with foil... If you can't find the supplies you need locally... Order them from the internet... Most of the supplies don't raise any suspicion

Who cares.....it's a fully colonized, contam resistant cake that has already been covered in contams from open air, and then dunked in contaminated tap water.....what on earth do you think the fridge can possibly contribute to this contam tornado? lol

You have a very good point... Pussyfart...guess I'm just OCD. I guess after seeing some of my friends' dirty fridges...(growing unknown cultures) lol...makes me paranoid
