Question about bulk growing

I have begun my first bulk grow. I have 4 quarts of rye berries colonizing. I want to do a mono, but was wondering if it would make a difference to put the sub in two aluminum baking trays inside a FC and case them. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about https://cdnimg.webstaurantstore.com/images/products/main/13452/461137/durable-packaging-6700-100-14-1-2-x-10-5-8-x-3-foil-roast-pan-10-pack.jpg
The reason I want to do this is because I drilled the end holes way to low for a standard monotub and I am not able to get a new container.

A lot of people have used trays inside a monotubs/FCs with great success, it works fine.  The mycelium will eat some of the aluminum, so the trays won't be able to be used more than a few times before disposal(if they are thin). However I've seen tests that confirm none of the aluminum dissolved by the mycelium makes it's way into the fruit bodies of the mushrooms. (aluminum is really bad for your brain, so it's good to check).

awesome dude, thank you. I didn't think there would be much of a difference.

Cool thanks for the knowledge, what if I lined the trays with some plastic?

Studies? like good old science or like a stoned out of their mind person tearing a fruit body in half and not finding any aluminum? just curious

That would prevent the aluminum erosion.  It's been done with success as well, a lot of people line their monotubs with plastic just to make clean-up easier.

Were you around when RogerRabbit was moderating here? Anyways, he was a pioneer in mushroom cultivation, he noticed the aluminum-eating habit of Psilocybe cubensis and sent off some samples of mushrooms grown in alumnum off to a lab for an analysis, no aluminum was found, I can probably find the report for you if you want.
