Only this time after dunking I broke up 3 cakes at a time and put them into a tub with the bottoms blacked out and cased them with peat, so that I ended up with 3 tubs. I put them in a cooler with a heat bomb to keep temps near 78 - 81oF but so far I can't see any myc poking through the casing layer. Here are some pics of the total yield from 2 flushes and the current casings. I was able to get a couple of good spore prints and I ordered some of Hippie's premium substrate mix. It is a lot easier buying it from him than it is trying to find all those ingredients, and it's not a bad price either. The ground up brown rice I used is pretty old and I think that may have had something to do with the grow, that and/or because the spores were fairly old although they were kept in the dark in the fridge.

Whoops. Here are the pictures that were supposed to have been in the previous post. One of total yield from two flushes of 9 BRF Cakes and the current tubs waiting for the myc to poke through:
