Hells yeah these bad boys are pretty deep. You can fit a shitload of spawn and sub in these and they take up barely any space at all

The tape is a good idea. I've knocked the top off unintentionally many times.

FAE just means how much fresh air they are receiving. Maximum FAE would be no lid or anything. It would require a lot more attention. "Dub" refers to flipping an empty shoebox upside-down on top of your shoebox while fruiting, as seen on the top shelf of Steevo's picture above.

Definitely wanna do this after my first tampenensis grow. I used one of these as a mini mono by mistake my first grow, grew a QP. Now that I know I'll get enough FAE unmodified, I'm gonna get the 6 pack from home depot. One of my 6 quart oat bags could make 12 shoeboxes...at 2-3qts total yield, that's 24-36 oz per spawn bag...holy crap. Prolly would be heavily boosted if I used dung-based. Good shit, mushboy. Good shit

I'd check target if you have one nearby. I got 8 for $5.50 the other day. They were on sale but way cleaner than the dusty ass ones at hd

THANKS DOOOD!!
but focus on your conditions. it will have much more of an impact on yields than playing with shit. coco coir can handle it all.

Great info in this thread! I'm about to buy some shoeboxes and get this tek rolling. One question. I purchased this http://www.ebay.com/itm/All-in-one-mushroom-growing-kit-compost-rye-grain-5lbs-substrate-just-add-spores/302198915410?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 and want to use it in a shoebox. After it is completely colonized and I mix it up can I just dump it in the shoebox like that or do I have to add a casing layer on top? Thanks!

you could just mix it up and dump. it doesnt need a casing. next time make the stuff yourself. its super easy once you get the hang of it.

Yea there is NO guarantee that what you bought is sterile. Trusting someone else's work is risky. They could have done a shit job.

I know buying mycobags like these premade is a risky venture. I just don't have a PC at the moment and decided to take the chance. Let's say everything works out good. Would the 5lb bag be enough for multiple shoeboxes or just one?

So these jars are filled up about three force of the way full. I plan on using one of the jars as a master spawn. will the rest be enough to make three shoeboxes with. They. Are all different varieties so I cant combine them

Unfortunately I'm getting side pins 
Not to mention that what I thought was going to be an AA+ tub is a Cambodian tub.
