Storing Fruiting BRF Cakes
    #25091292 - 03/26/18 07:29 AM (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hey all.  I have some cakes in the FC, some are on their first flush, some on their third.  Have to leave town for a couple of weeks and want to know the best way to store/suspend my cakes.  Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

For a couple weeks? Unfortunately you don't have a lot of options here. Have all the cakes already fully flushed?

The ones that are on their third flusn don't bother with, they'll be contaminated by the time you get back.

You could try turning off the heat in your house and giving the first flush ones a good dunk and put them back in the fc before you leave. The lower temps will slow them down but they might dry out before you get back. Hopefully they will have flushed again and given you a cake full of overgrown mushies covered in spores. :awesome:

I would not recomend the refridgerator, that's just going to fuck things up. If you seal them up you'll suffocate them and if they are exposed to open air in the fridge they will mold.

Best thing you can do is start more cakes! They will be almost fully colonized when you get back. Be happy with the shrooms you've already got and get that next project going!

Just want to give an update in case someone else needs the info.  Stored several cakes in jars with holes in lid inside fridge after dunking.  They are just fine.  Stored the rest in FC in room about 50 degrees.  Put blanket over to block sunlight.  Those continued to grow and have one cake with some good shrooms ready to pick.  Zero loss of cakes storing for 14 days.  Hope this helps someone!
