My last surviving plastic Yeti LC cake. I think the contamination came from handling it and creating airflow on the plastic lid. Jam jar ones are A-ok.





Got a KSSS print from a user here, and I gotta say that thing slaps. Very fast growth, incredibly clean print. I had even shot some spore solution straight on millet, it colonized well and while I could have g2g'd it I didn't tempt fate. Should be a nice lil shoebox though.



I also got Columbian Rust Spore (does anyone know the actual origin? apparently was on a vendor sitre under B+ for a while, the Columbian aspect seems to be bs). I inoculated 8 cakes, which was absurd. I guess I will have a bunch of CRS for crossing, which is a interesting candidate. Any experience with these? Taking off!



Anyone doing straw cakes yet?

^ I know that, I meant for this competition.

Gonna noc up some WBSF coir cakes with Great White Monsters and Wild Australian Murbah. I think next cakes will be straw ones.

Did you ever pre-cook the stuff on the stove like Muda? I haven't tried that. In the past I failed with you tek but it was with oat flour and that simply does not create a good flour alternative in my limited experience compared to oatmeal, brf or wbsf.

Has anyone tried placing the rolled cake in a painters bag that is lined with additional substrate, and then hanging it in a dreamer tub?

I might try it, but if there's good reason please let me know! 🍄🧚❤️

Interesting...
Why would you line the bag with extra sub?

I am just assuming my first few cakes aren't going to go well, so adding a bit more would correct that?

I would love to hear ideas on this!

If they aren't going well, adding more substrate wont do anything but make it worse. What makes you think they arent going well?

Sorry I should have specified, I meant sticking the coir on the outsides would not go well.

KSSS BRF+coir cakes in bonne maman jars (which use the same lid size as common 24-32 oz. pickle jars). I forgot to skewer the cakes before PC-ing, so the myc is working downward but didn't get a head start upward from the center column & bottom. They're probably going to finish in a week or so, either way. These are from four different cleaned up agar transfers from a KSSS germ plate.


Hillbilly Pumpkin clone, BRF+coir cake in a pp5 quart. I remembered to skewer that one.

All were inoculated with "quick LI", meaning, I cut partway through agar so it'd break apart easily (like partially-attached ice from an ice cube tray), then transferred the whole wedge into a 5ml cryovial with sterile water, shook the absolute crap out of it outside my SAB, and poured it into a cake jar. Even if the liquid didn't spread around some myc, the little pieces from the agar wedge also give a couple inoc points.

I was going to do ochras too, but got too busy. I might still make quick LI with my low-spore black cap culture, but at this point if I start cakes from spore they may not fruit in time. Haven't decided yet.

Testing out an old school muda recipe for straw bottles/cakes.



I guess since I added coffee grounds I better only inoculate with a very clean LI right?

Well... Two days late, but there they are. We'll see if the magic happens.

There's still time, and since some jars freed up—gotta make more cakes. Make more PF-Tek, or else Mr. Cakewonder is gonna unleash all his rage on me... :lol:

5 out of 6... The sixth one was disqualified from the contest and switched sides:
