I started with the PF tek as well. But now have moved on to lots of different stuff, My very first attempt though was PF tek straight from a spore syringe.
But for now a little preview! Nothing major as I said its simply a preview.

So you basically make the grow medium fertile to grow shrooms but hard to keep its form? That way it's not growing just out of the top of the cake like if you had it in a pot like when you grow weed? The shrooms can grow out the sides and stuff? Would you possibly get more shrooms if you could suspend the cake in the air some how?
There's actually a grow log that shows your theory in practice by a steady member named @BatCave
I will bump his thread. He makes the substrates into the form of cakes. Suspends them (sort of) and fruits in that manner.

You will get no more yield.
Surface area has some effect but not much unless you are unable to get to a third flush.

Your substrate will produce the same amount of shrooms no matter how it sits. Obviously unless its covered excessively. The shrooms basically find their way off the substrate no matter how it sits. and yes if you were to get more substrate and add the cake to it you would get more mushrooms. That is essentially what "spawning to bulk" is. And sorry guys I know I said major update today, but its been hectic. And to top it off I'm still awake from last night. May still get the update in but if not tomorrow FORSURE. Thinking about possibly doing video updates in the future, let me know what you guys think about that.

[PART 1]
Well its update times boys. There is far too many pictures to include all in one post, so if you are reading this and there isn't another post right below this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't comment until the second and third parts to this are posted! PLEASE.
Golden teachers, man they look gorgeous. I love that typical golden center with lighter edges on the caps! Harvest weight - Only 1.5 grams :/ But oh well, as I have said before ANYTHING is better than NOTHING.
The set-up. Some pics of what I got going on.
Some cakes that are soaking AKA the "dunk" of the "dunk and roll" process.
The new fridge *only temporary* looking to find something a lot smaller and without a freezer, since it is strictly for mushroom stuff.
The inside view of the SGFC that's the most full. The other only has 2 cakes in it right now, so I figured an inside shot wasn't really too exciting.

[PART 2]
THE ATTACHED IMAGE IN PART 1 IS SOME COLONIZING CAKES! SORRY FORGOT THAT ONE!!!!
Colonizing jars of spawn, all WBS (wild bird seed)
Bulk!! Some mini monos! Both of different ones.
All my agar dishes. (besides the ones in the fridge)
B+ mushroom looking real nice, I really like the shape of the cap, may have to try and clone it just to try and get that shape!
2 new cakes in the separate chamber, again they have a possibility of being contaminated. The two originally in there are now in my new SGFC (one is re-dunking ATM).
B+ mushrooms, so I think I've IDed my mystery cake the very first cake that gave me mushrooms was a B+ as well, had to of been, it literally almost looks like a duplicate of this one, (go check the pics lol)
Some Chode like Cambodians lmfao. and a deformity on the one, looks like a vagina.

Some boring pictures of little tiny pins
Flush two starting on the original cake that gave me mushrooms (talked about in part 2)
Well that wraps up this update, hope you guys liked it, as I said may do video updates in the future let me know what you think about it, also thinking about possibly doing a little series on growing mushrooms. Something like noobs teaching noobs or something, something where I teach other people things as I learn them as well, and sort of do like a lets learn together kind of series, something a little different than your average videos, I think it may actually do well.

I'm just wondering, are any of the spores you have penis envy by chance?

Well. My room officially smells like mushrooms. Well done self. Well done. Oh and I also dunked another cake and then spawned my last cake to bulk, made it into 2 trays, only because my first one wouldn't really of been big enough would have been like a 1:1 ratio of spawn and substrate lol. so I made a second little tiny tray and now its more of a 1.25:1 sub:spawn, I know still too much spawn but oh well faster colonization is a plus, not to mention its probably nessasary because I wasn't very careful while making it lol ended up with spawn and sub everywhere on the floor.

Sorry but no.
Sounds good though. I know how it is. You'll sit there and plan it all out and things will still kind of fall apart. It'll probably be ok.

Isn't that the way things work? I've learned don't plan be spontaneous and a lot of the time you get better results! At least with some stuff.
That works. Go with the flow.
