Thanks man! There's still two cakes that haven't pinned, hopefully they are saving their strength to make some giant whoppers. lol. pretty happy with this first grow. I guess the next step is monotub?

Just a hypothetical, has anyone on here tried planting these cakes in a cow field? What would happen? I guess I'm just curious what to do with these when I'm done with them. They've served me well, I feel like they deserve a better fate than the city dump.

probably similar things that would happen when you bury a cake almost anywhere. it will probably fruit, but you will probably get more fruits from giving it the most ideal conditions, inside.
but lots of us bury our spent sub after it's fruited, and even contam'd sub and it will still give us a few more fruits. but we kick nature's ass at yield produced, when given proper conditions and whatnot.

Is it possible for the mycelium to just keep spreading through the whole field though? I mean, given enough time, does it just keep going? when does it stop?

short answer, no.
however, i dont have enough knowledge on the specifics to warrant an explanation for that. someone else here will, though.
EDIT - actually, i guess technically it could be possible, but likely not probable.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Lol. Still fun to think about. I'll probably bury them out there just for the heck of it.

Nice ass cubes bro!(Let'em get a lil bigger though)Yes in an old cow field that has been an area say 5 acres, and has been there 20 years or so then yes it can spread almost everywhere through the grass. Yes I have found Cubensis in some fields coming up almost everywhere(allways after excessive rainfall) In the grass. I even have a couple fields that they come up all in the pine straw almost everywhere here and there, but usually lots of smalls(bigger ones in grass usually). So I am pretty sure there is cube mycelium almost everywhere in some fields anyhow depending the age of the field. Good Luck with everything. Peace & Love

I think I'll go ahead and pick these since some of the veils have opened. The bottom left 2 didn't get the memo and are a little late to the party, but check out that pin on the bottom middle! I guess I was right about it saving up it's energy for a whopper.

This is the mush from the big pin off the original cake. (second flush)I know I'm not breaking any records here on this forum but it made me super happy because I was able to finally make a spore print. It feels good to have a backup plan. I read somewhere on here that second flush usually produces larger fruit than the first. Is this true? and why?

just depends. depends on genetics, depends on how much it put out on the first flush, depends if the second flush is given proper conditions to fruit like the first was... just depends =p

It did seem pretty random. I'm glad I got lucky. spore print turned out pretty good as far as I can tell.

I'm attempting to bump up the production just a little. Nothing too crazy. I have scraped all the verm and reduced the cakes to just colonized mycelium again. I wrapped them in foil and put them in the freezer. I went and got a bigger fruiting chamber tote and a large cake pan that fits inside with a little room around the edges for the humidity to come up through the perlite. My question right now is about substrate. Can I just crumble these cakes into a bunch of sterilized WBS? Or do i absolutely have to have some kind of manure or something similar? I figured bird seed would be best because i don't have a pressure cooker. Can I just boil the bird seed and throw it in the cake pan with the crumbled cakes and incubate that way? Heres the new SGFC tote

spent cakes? no.. bury those and start more. then after 100% colonization, you can crumble them to bulk. the spent cakes are spent though.. nothing else you can do with those.

hmm. I haven't been on here in a while and actually went through with it without checking first. (i know i know) I can see the myc coming up from the top of the sub, but I'll take your advice and start some new jars tonight just in case. Thanks for your help. edit: I went with manure btw. I didn't know what i was talking about with the bird seed, can i use this for the jars? The spent cakes might not have been fully spent. I only flushed them twice. Maybe that is why they are still going. IDK. I'll update in a week or two.
