so i've done my research, but what i want to know is should i slice my substrate into pattie-like sections and then case or break it up before?
i've read various reports of doing it both ways, but was wanting a little person to person run down...
please no hate, i'm a newbie and i'm nervous! Wish me luck my jars are finally ready. only lost 4. not to contams but i think faulty inoculation on my part. (i was wasted and impatient) haha my fault!

I'd brake it up into little tiny peices. More serface area more enoculation points. But patty like slices would work also. Its just a preferance.

That's a personal preference thing. Won't matter one way or the other if you're spawning to bulk substrate. Cutting into slices is nice if you're going to case them as-is because you can have a nice level substrate layer that way, whereas that's harder to do when you break it into chunks because the chunks aren't very even and a bit harder to level out. A level and even substrate is important for a good pinset, but again if using bulk it doesn't matter if your spawn is a bit uneven if you level off the top of the bulk sub.

will breaking it up smaller help me or hurt me though?
i could see it as harming the myc a little and it ending up taking longer to colonize the casing or i could see it colonizing faster.
haha i'm so worried. i feel like i don't know what i'm doing even though i've read so much!
