36 cakes....size of terrarium
    #8697003 - 07/29/08 11:36 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

my fellow mycologist and I are attempting 36 cakes at once. Should I get one big fruiting container to put them in (using the shotgun method) or get 2 containers because 36 might be a lot of cakes

Personally, I would be looking into multiple containers for this many cakes. In one chamber, they will be pretty cramped and your chances of contamination spreading are going to increase.

At least 3. I have 12 in a 45 gallon tub. You can get more in but like Soul said it will be cramped. The less you have in a tube the easier it is to get them out when it's time.

Rob, why do your cakes always have a weird shape on top? And how do you get such a nice even verm coating?

I scrape uncolonized parts off. one of those cakes has a little  cake on top of it.

After the dunk I wash the pot out and put water back in it. I wash the cakes under running water and put them back in the pot of water. Then I take the cake out holding it between my thumb and index finger. Take it right to the verm with as much water that stays on it, and roll it across the verm, flip it to the top and bottom. it gives you a nice 1/4 in casing layer. SWEET AS SUGAR!! No need to mist it right after the roll because the excess water is absorbed by the verm.

Why no casing with that many cakes?

You could only use one terrarium which would normally hold 18 cakes, and then place a rack in the middle of it. You would put 18 cakes on the bottom and 18 cakes on the rack.
If using perlite however this would mean almost doubling your amount on the bottom. But then again like the other people are telling you, if one of your cakes gets contaminated then you might get more cakes contaminated than usual. I guess what it comes down to is that if you're confident enough about your sterile techniques, experience, and if you have the time to have a look at them at least twice a day then why not go for it. :grin:

spawn to about 20 or so trays hpoo/coir and then case with peat/verm and put into a Martha if you want the most yield.

You can also stack dunked & rolled cakes with a piece of aluminum foil between cakes and a verm reservoir on the top cake.

Fahtster had insane luck with this method, putting 24 cakes in each FC. I looked for a pic, but they've been deleted. There's one featured in RR's video.

Consider purchasing a mini indoor greenhouse for about $30... and spawn/case all of them. Unless of course room/privacy is an issue or you are not able to maintain fruiting conditions in larger volumes.

yeah room is limited and i figured i would just case them all because i didnt have time to read much else before this.
plus many pictures i looked at had cakes looking like they had a much higher yield then casing.
where can i go to quickly find casing teks
