anyways im not sure one is better than the other i mean, all cakes are is, in my mind soda can sized cut outs of casings, lol, you know what i mean. i just prefer cakes because if one cake gets contam i can contain it easly without much worry of it contam other cakes whereas if a casing is contam well, cross you fingers. know what i mean? it's all relative. 
on the other hand the work involved can be a tricky one. but hey i don't think he minds. ;)

room temp. i think he uses a air con in the mid summer months. he fans once a day, ups it to 2-3 times when the fruits are about halfway through fruiting. 54qt. i believe.
the maintainence is 'bout nil, except staring at them for hours on end...singing to them... telling them how beautiful they are, and how when they grow up they can do anything they put their minds to. ;)

my friend wanted me to post a couple more pix. he also wanted me to mention that this is an aweful lot of mushrooms and didn't want anyone getting the wrong impression. he does not deal mushrooms or any other drugs for that matter. rather, a group of us, him and me included don't like buying drugs either esp. fungi. so this "stash" is our "summer catch" for about 15 of my friends and I. so with that said... here are the pix.

these are pix of his setup and of cakes he just did a 24 hour milk dunk, 10 min bleach dip, and after the cakes were dipped, right away when they were still wet, he burried them in dry verm. and pulled them out and this is what they looked like. fully cased. then he just added a little to the top and bottom and in between the cakes misted lightly and there you have it. hope you enjoyed my posts and my friends setup. he also wanted me to say that without mycotopia and gang (all of you) none of this would have been possible. we all thank you.

after a cake has flushed the first time can the cakes be cover in verm? Sides and all? This site rocks! |

sure, it's really up to you. ive seen plenty of great flushes without the use of verm on the sides. but ive also seen bad ones too. my friend likes covering the cakes in verm. cuz he can just throw them in a bucket of dry verm right from the dunk and that eliminates the drying off of excess water from the cake and DE casing in the same swift move. i like to think that covering the cakes in verm. will reduce the evaporation of water from sides of cakes and also act as an air barrier for mold spores kinda like the air barrier one would use when making the jars.

Why don't cake users just triple, quadruple,even quintuple stack them? You could end up with a big leaning tower of Piza!lol
