Never had that problem myself but my best guess says sure go ahead and shoot em up again. Maybe PC them again first IDK.

I've re-inoculated jars before. It's better than wasting your time and money on making new cakes. I don't see anything wrong with re-inoculation.

the only thing you really have to worry about is if your brf got cooked and no longer has the nutritional value it once did. probably not the case here since it gets way hotter than 106 in the pressure cooker. another problem is the risk of contamination. more exposure during inoculation is a risk, but if your sterile procedures are good then you may be okay. i'd say go for it. just my perspective there. i'm not a pro or anything so take it how you wish.

i'd start over imo. your moisture content went out of control and getting it back will be difficult.
good luck.

After your first flush you can do this to rehydrate the cakes. I found this in the Magic Mushroom Growers Guide. ( Flame sterilize a 3/16 inch drill bit. Let it cool. Use it to drill a hole at the center of the cake. You can do this by hand. You do not need a drill. Do not go all the way through the cake, but drill a deep reservoir into the cake. Cut a plastic straw to 4 inches in length. Insert the straw 1/2 inch into the hole. The straw should fit tightly in the cake. Straws from McDonalds are larger than most and work well. They seal well and hold more water. Fill the straw with water daily. A 10 cc. syringe works well to fill the straws with water.) Just keep adding more water until the cake is rehydrated. I would put a longer straw into the cake and fill completely with water. You'll still need to dunk and roll in between flushes.
