Cakes to Cases. What should you do?

Hey Guy's, what's up? Getting ready to case a few cakes. Should I dunk before casing, I dunked all the cakes after birth, first go round and results were quite pleasing(Fruiting as cakes). So, was wondering if I should dunk these before casing. If I do, would it be possibly to birth two or three cakes into a 1/2 gallon zip-lock, break them up and then pour in some hydrogen peroxide water , and dunk overnite? Thanks. Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony. Hippie Chick

Thanks Road. You know how many times I've read that? What I'm really asking is, should I dunk the cakes before casing , or just case them. Don't mind dunking them if it will help. I got the use of the plastic bag from that TEK. Thanks. Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony. Hippie Chick

I wouldn't worry about dunking prior to inoculating bulk substrate. I would also suggest using a cheese grater to break the cakes up. You will get more a more even consistency and more inoculation points this way. Make sure to wipe the grater down with alcohol prior to using this method.

Thanks. These aren't going to bulk. They're just the end of some cakes. Just going to case. That's why I was thinking of dunking, to replace any moisture lost to colonization. Have some WBS I was going to go to bulk with, just need to get some good "SHIT" before it's ready. lol. Thanks. Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony. Hippie Chick

I don't dunk cakes when making them into casings...or spawning them into horse poo. I worry about the broken cakes mending the mycelium back together...if they are dunked...and it might take longer.
You don't dunk grains when casing...so why bother with cakes.
You will have a casing layer that will have moisture...anyway.

I'd stick with Road's advice for the cakes--And you know where the good 'SHIT' is.
