I suspected wax paper would make a good non reflective barrier for cakes to sit on. but I'm finding the cakes are trying to colonize it. Do I wait for a flus or change now? Can anyone recommend something that will not colonize or reflect light up.

In one of the teks on the site I remember reading someone used a screen pressed down inside their so the edges were down and the center was elevated, then put their cakes on it. I always thought that was a good idea and would have tried it if my PF tek attempt had worked out at all.

You can try using jar lids, but I wouldn't worry about bottom pinning too much.. doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I use those white plastic screw-on Kerr lids (wide mouth). I believe it is around $4 for twelve. Sporeworks has them last I checked. You should be able to find them at Wal-Mart if they even have out there canning jars yet.

Go ahead and move them off the wax paper, no worries. I would go to home-de-pot and grab some yard screen I think its called, its nice heavy gauge 1"x1" screen. Bend it to make a table so your cakes sit up about 1" avove perlite. It works great, give it a try.

Cakes rarely eat through foil. It's colonizing mycelium that does that. Foil or plastic will work. Avoid anything organic. RR
