If dried in the oven or at room temp, the mycelium will solidify- it'll turn quite solid. If unmolded and put into fruiting, i would imagine it would grow some reishis. And it can definitely hold soil for flowers. I've got a large one colonizing right now, and planning to use it as a flower pot, or a lamp shade.

Funny and yet very serious, nice use of Reishi. Bet those would sell nice. Myco rubbish bin sounds eco friendly to me, free fruits maybe.

Nice job, that's awesome Casual!
If you used two different sized tubs and made a reishi tub to fruit reishi... that'd be meta AF

I made a larger tub also, it looks like this
 the walls are 4cm thick, there's a smaller tub inside to create the void. Can't wait to take it out- that's 5 days of growth.

I bet if you make 20 of em and drill drain holes in the bottoms sell as green pots they will sell out on ebay. Maybe even sell with a bag of soil and seeds?

you have to bake them if you want to put plants in them. other wise they will start to grow again and lose structure. baking it will maintain the shape, texture, and strength

Online marketplaces could bring in a little fast cash, but if you tapped into your local artisan markets you could price/value it at a higher premium.

I have some old reishi bags, might give this a shot too. I wonder if reishi will colonize busted up spent oyster myshroom sawdust blocks. Maybe let the sawdust dry out for a few weeks to weaken the oyster mushrooms before introducing the reishi growth. Turn my waste into revenue!
