How about it?

Tell me if I'm crazy. Which of these do you think aren't true?
Because pins form around edges of pieces of myc. On the bottom or top cylinderical edge of a cake, or around the edges of a casing. The sharper the edge of the polyhedron the more prone for pinning. A semi-sphere cake would pin and fruit dominantly around the base (though it would certainly fruit on the domed surface too, though not as prominently). This is because the colonized material (shape) is thinner compared to the rest of the colonization and is considered by the myc as an extremity. A large triangular-prism shaped cake standing on one of it's ends would fruit most prominantly down it's three edges in vertically straight lines.
Please no poppycock from those who aren't experienced in different shapes, sizes, and implementations of colonized cakes set to fruit in high RH conditions.
Just high and thinking. Smokebreak.

You may be the only one experienced in this field, a true pioneer.

I don't know about cakes, but anyone who's good at casing makes dips a valleys. A flat surface doesn't pin as well. Have you looked at the shroomcano in the grow logs? You should run some tests with odd shaped cakes.

On another site, a few growers tried wrapping strings around straw logs to create sharp valleys to see if they would fruit more heavily from those creases. They did not, if I remember correctly. The reason fruits form around the edges of casings while boycotting the middle, is due to grower error, not the preference of the mycelium. RR
