How many times do cakes REALLY flush?

Since mushrooms are 90% water by weight, and those rice cakes hold some big weight. You'de think each cake would be able to make more than they do.

I think if you let it sit for a year, then it'll start fruiting again, just like in the wild. I don't think 20 or so mushrooms expend the cakes nutrients.

I have had a malabar cake flush 8 times.

After the 4th one its usually 1-2 mushrooms a flush. After a while the cake shrinks up sooo much. I have once grown a mushrooms off a cake that weighed almost the same weight as the cake??? pretty wild.

If they dont contam, you can keep em goin for a while. Some strains just seem to die after a few flushes. I really like EQ, but for some reason they would always contam before all others. Even fruiting in the same container??

This is pure speculation, but I'd imagine that some of the subtrate is given off as moisture/oxygen/etc. when being transformed into mushrooms. I doubt that 100% of the substrate matter makes it as a mushroom.

With oyster mushrooms around 50% of the substrate is transformed to CO2(carbon dioxide).

I averaged 2-3 flushes per cake then they go OD (outdoor). This just keeps things nice and clean. :wink:

I would say the average is 3 flushes. But many people can push it to 4 or 5. 6 isn't unheard of, but don't count on it.
