I started with cakes. Made twelve, all went fine, no contams and they fruited great.

Even though I know do bulk substrate I still have a sweet spot for cakes. They are clean and tidy and produce enough for me and a couple of friends (I end up throwing away loads of shroms when using poo).

The other thing I like about them is that I can shoot up a couple of jars of different strains and watch the differences, without using up too much space.

Well. I started out with a BRF PF cake and had great first results


but I soon switched to ground whole grain brown rice because it colonized quicker and had similar results.

Then I decided that I should do casings...

I broke up some cakes into foil cake pans and used a mixture of black kow and verm. I got lazy and tested the difference between a pasturized and unpasturized mix, and found that there wasn't much difference in this case (no pun intended)

I concluded that more testing should be done with a variety of substrates to have worthwhile proof.

Monotubs seem to be the way to go, but I haven't finished a monotub grow (theres a little less than 2 weeks to go, hopefully)

If you're just looking to expirament with strains and finding strong genes, cakes are the way to go because of a good BE and the amount of individual case studies you can have going at a time.

But a multi-spore monotub is probably the best bang for the buck.


I've yet to totally fail on a grow (I take that back, my reishi contaminated because I didnt isolate first)

cubes are easy tho, ask anyone! :grin:

now I use cakes spawned to hpoo in a monotube. Casing is 60/40 mix. I like this combo because I don't need a pressure cooker, as my cooker is tiny.


I throw the shrooms away because even if I dried them, I would never get round to eating them because i am always getting more fresh ones. I give away as many as I can but there is a limit. I threw 8 ounces out last month.
