Random cultivation question

I was thinking about inoculating some really small jars (about the length of my thumb) as a fun little experiment. does anyone have any exp. on jars smaller than 1/2 pint, and if they fruit well or at all? any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It's likely that you will be able to get something out of it (at least some pins), but not much. I think a microcake like that may have trouble holding and providing enough water to grow mushrooms of a decent size - it will be more prone to drying out. I believe any fruits that do grow will be correspondingly small. IMO you wouldn't want to do this if your goal was to produce a reasonable amount of fruits, but since it's a fun experiment, give it a try and post your results! It should at least be a quick little project, since it will colonize quickly.
You can search on "1/4 pint" and "1/8 pint" in the forum. This has been discussed before.

They will produce just fine(assuming the preparation was proper), but the fruits will be very small, it's been done before. Mushrooms will even grow from agar petris.

I'll be a doing a lot of them coming this spring, I'm working on some strange Panaeolus grows lately, but in spring I will be collecting tons of wild mushrooms of many different species and making cultures from each. Should make for some neat photos.
Once things get going we could make a collective grow log all about novelty grows.

I agree, novelty grows are great, especially when someone posts a badass flush in some weird container. When I look at some of the fun grows RR posted though, I'm like "damn, I can't top that."

RR did some great novelty grows, but I once grew shrooms straight out of a vagina.

I'm just a noob, but I've got a big novelty LC in one of those Bulleit Bourbon bottles just cuz I like lookin at it, and I've got two tiny brandy glasses of BRF colonizing right now in hopes of top fruiting them and getting some cute pictures out of it. Whenever I'm at a thrift store I take a peek at the glassware and see if there's anything that looks interesting and do-able.
