Inspired by Agar Wedge's kramer cake shoebox water tub I decided to try using a shoebox for a couple of my own tiny cakes. Each of these was maybe two tablespoons of brown rice in a 1/2 cup pp5 twist-loc "grain petri", inoculated with a different bit of T1 agar from a swabbed germ plate, then soaked and wrapped with coir. I have several of those tiny twist-loc containers because I used to use them for pre-pour agar, this seems like another good use for them. Each had a pin after about a month, before loosing the lid for GE, and I got very clean clones off those. Clone #4 has potential because it was two pins coming up as a cluster, and both were long and pretty beefy.



Obviously I don't expect much yield off these, but I'm doing it for prints. I'll have some normal-size PF and grain cakes ready soon, those will go in a bootbox instead for more headroom. The cake in the back/left pinned first and is maybe two days ahead of the others. I used a pipette to put water in the lids, the cakes absorbed it overnight.

Does anybody have a good approach for labeling cakes like this? These are all Transkei, but I'll have a mix of varieties soon. Colored lids would work, but I already have these lids. I probably shouldn't poke plastic plant markers into the cakes, and masking tape labels on the sides of the lids would be partially underwater.

That's awesome! I'm glad that something I did proved helpful in your cult work! Love me some tiny grain cakes. Those same cakes pushed another flush for a total of 8-9g dry per cake so far, and they're still at it, starting the 4th flush.

Pic tax: Third flush on this half pint Kramer cake. happy to have flower arrangements from the garden again as well.

Psilocybe mescaleroensis still no fruiting chamber.


The big one took on quite a bit of damage squeezing out from along the glass. It's growing at about an equal rate as the mushroom. Inspected for mites after a few specks of coir on the other one were looking fairly suspicious.


All good on that front though.

Just the name Mescal.....sounds ominous

A little update on my beauties, I only don't have any pictures of Golden Hawk as he seems to be growing quite slowly.


Little Boy Jack Frost! (They have so much pins, I hope that at least half of them will grow up to)


The Jedi have returned more powerful than ever, I believe that the light side of the force will show its true power this time!



Aand a mysterious and beautiful ENIGMA it looks like an alien wanting to take over my mind and soul, it is beautiful.




I believe that everyone will show beautiful harvests this time, after they have settled in their new castles and have good and comfortable conditions for fruiting 

I wonder why almost all of them pin it on the sides of the cake instead of the top, despite the good conditions hmmm.... never mind, I'm glad to see so many beautiful specimens in JEDI and Jack Frost, I just hope that this time Jack Frost will reach adulthood.

*crosses fingers* wish me luck so that they show beautiful fruits
