An Interesting Way To Recycle Old Cakes
    #5131740 - 01/02/06 03:50 PM (18 years, 29 days ago)

Ok,

So i found an intersting way to recycle old cakes. I had about 15 spent PF Cakes. They were small and hard. Each cake had been dunked and produced 3 flushes a piece. When it was time to get rid of them, i decided to try something.

I took a big bucket and put all the cakes in it. I then dunked in cold water for 24 hours. After the 24 hour dunk period, i broke the cakes apart with my hands into an aluminum tray. All of this was done in very non-sterile conditions. No cleaning of any sort was done. I didn't really expect anything to happen.

Anyway, once i broke them up into the tray, i just smoothed it out real good and threw it right into my fruiting chamber. I misted daily and nothing happened for a good week. After two weeks i had quite a few big ass pins. They grew very slowly, but got pretty big.







The biggest fruit there in my hand was 58.5 grams!



This obviously didn't produce a huge flush, but i'm more than happy considering i was going to throw the cakes away. I'm still drying the flush, so i don't know the final weight. But i'm expecting to get pretty close to a full ounce.

BTW, for those who may be wondering, the strain was Stropharia. Try it out and have fun!

Before i first birthed the cakes i dunked them for 24 hours. After that i did not dunk between flushes. The next dunk was before i broke them up.
