bulk growing questions

Originally I figured pf tek should be the way to go for a beginner like me. But I recently started looking at bulk grows. I just can't find as much info on them. 1) Do you need to keep a monotub by itself or in a terrarium? 2) Do you need to fan and mist monotubs? 3) Do you increase yeilds with bulk rather than pf tek? Sorry if the questions are dumb Any feedback would be great

1. A monotub is a fruiting chamber and does not need to be put inside anything.
2. Not if they are correctly adjusted (which is pretty easy)
3. Complex question. Simple answer, yes. You increase your yield/fruiting chamber space, however PF cakes are more dense in nutrients than grains in bulk substrate, you just can't get nearly as much as easily.
DW, lot of info to take in.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

I especially noticed an increase in bulks yields when using horse manure
I recommend monotubs because they are eassyyyy

Originally i figured i would not be nice. But i changed my mind.
1)UTFSE 2)FOTTSE 3)Look up the word bulk in a dictionary

bulk means there is a lot of volume substrate wise, doesn't mean bulk mushrooms

I'm just saying thats probably not why it was called that in the first place. unimportant difference I know.
