Are my cakes good or trash?
    #22217446 - 09/10/15 03:46 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So this is my first time with cultivating mushrooms. I went with the Mexican Dutch King for my first time using the PF Tek method. Not sure if my cakes if my cakes are good or bad.



Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out. This is a first time experience and even if all of my cakes are trash it'll just be a learning experience.

Are those all of different cakes? I want to say good for at least one, but the third one has a weird patch. Not sure if it's just the picture, though.

Unless you can snap better pictures and all the way around the jar, don't take what I say as fact. Could be just fine.

Sorry it took so long to reply. Two of my cakes got infected so I trashed them. Here are the remaining 4.

Cake 1
Cake 2

Your cakes look good, I'd let them consolidate for another couple of days, then birth them. And for next time, make sure you take that foil off the tops of your jars. Your dry vermiculite layer will protect the brf mix against airborne contams. The foil only hinders the jars growth by reducing the amount of necessary GE and holding moisture on the top of the jar lid (which could lead to some nasty contams).

Not sure if this is good or not. I have cake isolated in a smaller container from the other cakes as well. Toss it?
