Alright thanks for the info dude.
Update:
So my cakes have been dunking for about 22 hours now, and I will be putting them in the SGFC tonight .
I've been drying yesterday's harvest for a total of 18 hours on 120F so they seem to be pretty damn dry now. They were cracking upon bending about 8 hours on, so they have gotta be dry now. The weight actually shocked me.
I harvested two cakes. One of the cakes only had one mushroom which I'm guessing was about 1.5G dry max, since it was huge .
And my total dry weight is 6.6 which would mean my other cake produced over 5G . Pretty excited about that, so far ever harvest I've been beating my precious weights , first cake was 3.2, next was 3.5, and now roughly 5.1G . I think letting them go until they released spores made them grow quite a lot more , because the caps had gotten about 50% bigger than they were at the point when the veils had broken.
Either way I'm pretty happy with the outcome . If I take the average from the two cakes harvested it's still over 3G so all in all pretty good.. Some of the fruits are blackened from some spores dropping on them, so I feel bad for whoever has to taste them since I've Been told they taste bad lol.
I've been looking at photos of other BRF pf tek cakes, and I notice some people end up with like 20+'fruits on they're cakes . How the hell do they pull that off ? Do they add something to the substrate mix or do some BRF cakes just explode with fruits every now and then? I wouldn't mind a cake like that. But hey I can't complain , mine could of gone a lot worse so far.
Will continue to keep the thread updated as my new fruits begin to sprout in about a week from now. Thanks for following this thread guys, and happy new year.

Well I got all my cakes in the SGFC now I'm up to 4 cakes in total now. If I count each cake having four flushes , then I have 12 flushes remaining . Here is a picture of my cakes sitting in the SGFC . Wish me mush luck mates.

Ye I hear ya, I'll pick some up tomorrow since I'll be in the city . I've made due with this so far , but humidity levels have not been very high so I'm going to buy anothe bag of it, should help bring the humidity up In the SGFC I would think , right ? FAE seems to be quite low too as all my fruits end up with a lottt of fuzzy feet

Sometimes a little fuzzy feet is genetics, nothing to really worry about with a good sgfc. Congrats on the harvest! For storage ziplocks work for short term but seems like they eventually get bendy. I like smashing all the air out of a ziplock then sticking it in mason jars or other air tight container.

Alright thanks for the heads up . I've been storing mine in a ziploc, with the bag open for the first couple weeks incase I close it and they have a tiny bit of moisture still in them. But I think I'll try what you just mentioned .

Your method raises the moisture content of cracker dry mushrooms. As NDStepp already said: Dry until you can break the fruits and store them airtight.

Just here writing you guys an update on how my fruits have been.
I think I already mentioned my two mates each eating 2G and them both tripping balls, and me being told by my best bud that they're the best/his favourite fruits he's ever eaten (he's eaten over a dozen batches in his lifetime)
But i also recently another test subject. All he ate was a half (0.5G) and I heard he flipped right out and was tripping hard. I didn't think such a low dose would of gotten him so messed up but he's only eaten them a few times in his lifetime so I guess it doesn't take much at that point lol.
Hearing my fruits are potent is making me feel like I did a good job/makes me happy. I heard that everyone around is scared to eat any of the shrooms around because of what they've heard , stories of people tripping hard haha..
Still currently have my four cakes sitting in the SGFC , my one cake that's been fruiting this week looks like it will have a low yield I'm estimating it at around 1.5-2G, has one medium sized fruit on which the veil broke late last night plus a few small ones beside it. Oh well I guess all my yields can't be big like they previously were lol. Really hoping my other cakes grow me some nice big beautiful fruits .
Really grateful for everybody's help and they're continue support on this venture . I hope all of your current grows are going well, if you guys have any current grows please let me know as I would like to follow them myself/learn from what you guys are doing. Thanks

Awesome amido, sounds like you've been keeping yourself pretty busy haha. I wish I knew how to do all the types of grows you just mentioned . Actually I wish my wife was cool with my continuing this hobby , since she said it was only cool for me to experiment with it/ try it this one time . She said I couldn't fruit in the "house" so I'll have to move my work outdoors lol . Have you any experience at all with outdoors , or do you by any chance know any good outdoor teks?
As for what you mentioned about cleaning up an old b+ print , what did you mean by clean it up? Wait never mind I'm an idiot you mean on agar right ? Myself I've taken 3 prints so far, and I'm currently printing this one Giant cap from the cake I just harvested ( you'll see it in the pics I have just provided , it looks big to me anyways ! ) I think I will try B+ next if it is a strain that will/can grow nicely outside .
I currently still have four cakes going , just harvested one, dunked two of them about 7 days ago and they seem to be starting to pin decent (one has about 8 noticeable pins, another about 4 ) and my other / last cake was dunked 3 days ago so no pins yet .
Sadly my last batch of fruits was not so potent 3 people consumed / split 6G , they were buzzed but I was told it came in waves and was nothing crazy . Couple weeks back my mates were floored off the same amount. These last fruits finished late / I was late pulling them due to being in the hospital and they had dropped spores everywhere , I was told it doesn't affect potency at all but I'm wondering if maybe it could of? Or if pulling them much too late caused the potency to degrade?
Anyways I didn't take pictures of the current cakes pinning since they're nothing special this far, but here was my last cake / last harvest I've gotten from it. So far it weighs 1.5 but that's without the big cap which I'm sure weighs atleast 1-1.1(2.5g harvest roughly, nothing special ) They were a little funny looking / caps looked funny with spots close up, low humidity , or mutated or something ? Maybe over drying them in the dehydrator at 120F? I'm just speciulating here but if it's something I did wrong and can avoid that's what I'd like to try and do. Anyways here's the pics :



Sorry for not posting any sooner as I've been pretty busy with life lately . Will continue posting as much as I can , will post photos when the fruits are getting to a nice size . Thanks for continuing to Support my thread

Guys in having an issue.. I stumbled upon a random thread the other night of a guys mushrooms that has light brown spots all over them. Well my mushroom caps all look like that now.. I think they called it verticulum? Is that what's going on with these mushrooms? Here are some pics


Also I finished dunking one of my cakes 4 days ago and it's suppose to be on its second flush. All seemed well the past few days but today when I checked on it, the entire cake looks white like it's been frosted like a cake. See the difference on colour compared to the cake beside it? None of my other cakes have ever looked like that so I'm thinking this is not good I'll also post these pics in the contam forum if you guys think I should

Hope someone out there can help me. I never had any issues like this before , maybe leaving those spores all over the perlite could of caused a contam(I know i might be jumping the gun but it doesn't look normal to me )
Also I've handled the cake a few times on the last week cause the shrooms were growing against the sides of the sgfc, maybe my hands weren't clean enough .
Like I said I'm a noob so I may be freakin out for nothing , it's just that the spots on my shrooms 100% to me look like the pics I saw of a verticulum spore contam . If it is are these safe to eat? It seems to only be the caps that look like that, maybe just discard the caps if it is vert? Okay I'll stop talking now and wait for a response haha please ad thanks mates .

I see what your saying hard to tell whether its just myc or mold. Did it happen really fast like hours rather than days?

yeah man id say it was fast.. because yesterdsay i didnt find it looked that white at all.. seemed a little white i guess but not even close to what it looks like now. wondering if i should discard it? do you think it coulda spread to my other cakes already? looks like my grow might be fucked lol. Also the white on the cake almost seems like a fuzz
do you have any clue as to what the brown spots on the caps may be mazdar?
thanks

Yeah I was told by someone in the contamination forum that the mushrooms were fine , and that one of them was a mutation . Still don't know about that white cake though, I'll be sad if it is a contam and I don't get rid of it in time and all my cakes turn up fucked lol hope that's not the case anyways...
Thanks mazdar appreciate the input/info

I reckon itll be ok usually the myc does that when its got low fae, you could isolate it but if it was mold it will already most likely be too late. Fully colonised cakes are normally resistant but with each flush they get weaker, I had one cake get trich on second flush. I spotted it when it was white before it turned green and removed it, but within a few day the rest was toast. They were shit cakes though only a few fruits that took over a month to produce and I wasnt hopeful id get a second flush anyway, they were APE cakes so I was never expecting much.
