I'll be back in the saddle soon enough as well.

Using shoeboxes, I get pretty close to the same yield per quart regardless of how many quarts go into the substrate.  As long as the spawn is clean of course. 

For the 6qt containers I’ve used single pints all the way up to 2 quarts and everything in between.  Slight differences in time to pin or number or vigor of subsequent flushes were observed, but not large enough sample sizes for meaningful correlation.

In the end, it all averaged out to about the same for me so far.

Looks pretty good to me buddy

I really need to do something with this plate before it gets overgrown.

My two cents: mix it with clean, nutricious grains & plant it up somehow, then- late at night by the pale lavender glow of a waxing moon, you could trip off the resultant ephemeral life forms.

If that's too spicy, you could:

• use it as a coaster
  
• tie a ribbon around the outer edge and hang it from you window as a suncatcher
  
• skim it like a rock across a small body of water and record the mycelial response
  

really mate if you are struggling to use that thing then it's on you I'm afraid.
It's worth its weight in gold!
