Shroomcano, bunt cake, poo eggs, compost grow

I'm just posting a bunch of stuff together to save me a few minutes and avoid digging for old posts.
First up: I made a bunt cake with WBS. No spawn, just colonized seed. As you can expect, things aren't going swell. Pins have formed, but they aren't exactly shooting up outta the cake. No pic unless something intresting happens.
Second up, Shroomcano! Shroomcano is doing well. I got a pinset a few days ago, and have been dutifully watering the casing pit daily. There are a few pins on the sides, though I expected more to form at the bowls edge. Lottsa good stuff up top though.

Next up, pooeggs. What better way to get ready for Easter than combining eggs with the most fertile of mushroom substrates? These were just birthed, into the FC they go.

Finally, a warning on store bought compost/cow manure. These came from 3 inch subs! And, it was half straw! And, they haven't even dried yet in the pic! Sheesh!

the poo eggs are really cool, did you use the jello egg molds for them? They'd work well for spawning to small containers.
The shroomcano would have benefitted more from being rolled completely in verm. The reason why you're seeing so many pins at the top is because that's where the water is.

>>>>the poo eggs are really cool, did you use the jello egg molds for them? They'd work well for spawning to small containers.
The colonized inside plastic easter eggs, the kind used for an egg hunt. I know the fruits aren't going to be massive, but I think they'll look NEATO when they fruit.
As for Shroomcano, I knew there would be a nice pinset at the top, but also thought there might be a good micro climate right at the bowls edge. Either way, I'm essentially watering a straw log, which will hopefully produce a bigger yield than not watering. I'll get a nice yield either way.

if you were going for that nice little microclimate pins love you needed to have a container that rise above the substrate, this creates a warm, moist, space for the pins to flourish in. Think of peoples containers and when they side pin, the plate wont create that climate because it's flat.

Shroomcano fruits!

RH was too high, which brings up a question: When RH is too high, there are obvious indicators, deformed stems and split caps, but does RH affect mushroom size? Will RH keep a mushroom from reaching it's biggest potential?
Bird seed bunt cake update: Bird seed bunt cake is dead. Using only seed is a BAD idea. I had read this, but wanted to find out for myself. There's no way to provide hydration, it's totally dependent on the myceliums ability to draw moisture into the areas that have none. This stresses the mycelium, and optimal hydration will not be reached no matter how humid the chamber is.
Also, I posted some results on how crappy store bought compost can be. I did several grows using this substrate (50/50 with straw), and this is my largest, and LAST. The largest shrooms in there are currently about 2 inches high... so it's not a total loss, but fairly pathetic compared to what straight straw would have produced. If I had used only the ammount of straw that's in this grow, I would have gotten a better yield.

Thanks for the 5 shrooms man. I wanted to post a few harvest pics.
I tried to pick individual shrooms, but that wasn't going too good. I ended up gathering clumps 

Here's the full monty, wet weight was 530 grams.

I'll have a tek up sometime tomorrow if anyone is intrested.

FYI high RH = fuzzy stems low RH = split caps

Only times my capes split, my RH was around 65% (too low).

Yea, I know *grrr*. I was running a cool mist to the tub they were growing in and let them fruit that way. I should have used polyfil holes, or added them once pins formed, but I was lazy. A little fuzz is OK by me, but I'm curious as to whether high RH will affect the final weight. Is it detrimental?

Oop, just re-read.
Well, this grow included fuzzy shrooms with split caps. Don't ask me how this happened but it did. RH was in the high 90s.

Well, here's the fruits from my BULK store bought compost grow.
LOL! I just spent 1 hour rubbing the verm off these boogers. Last time that will happen.

That was from a large double tub, nothing special except for the crappy results due to using store bought compost.
