spent cakes?

hallucinogeneti · 10-03-09, 12:12

hey all,
I was wondering what would be the best thing to do with spent cakes. I heard that you could crumble them up and sort of bury them in more pasteurized substrate for casing. Is this possible? I couldn't find anything in the forums.

Bury them outside in a compost pile, and you might get a few more shrooms. Mycelium ages quickly, so it would be much better to use fresh mycelium for spawn.

my FOAF crumbles his spent casing and cakes into some poop and straw under a low hanging tree and gets some good results depending on weather. heres a thread from a flush i got from spent/partially contamed subs going outside

My friend has taken contaminated cakes and put them outside in a hole with some dung and straw. Got about 7g out of a cake that would have been a waste. This time of the season probably is not very prime though unless you live in a very southern state.
