I understand if i crumble cakes and case them they are still limited to the amount of nutrient they have.  but to counteract that couldnt you sprinkle like a half cup brf onto casing layer and or mix some into the casing mix?  wouldnt this also be a way to bring back a cake that produced several flushes already, by crumbling casing and adding more nutrient?

No. Adding a nutrient layer would grow something yes, but it is highly unlikely to be what you want. You could clone a healthy shroom to agar and keep it going that way, but you can't reverse the life cycle of the shrooms.

my jars have been incubating over 3 weeks now...how do i tell wen the center is dun too?and can i make a casing from a cake for a bigger yeild?

coyoteyogi

Yes. Read the TEK on casings that is on this site.

The Center is done when the outside is done, mycelium grows as a network. Why don't you just make BRF casings then? if your going to sprinkle brf ontop for a casing layer? make sure its sterile.

so pw in theory you could take brf and vermiculite that you pc'd, then take a cake that you got like four flushes out of, crumble it and add the sterile brf mix, then case it to revive it and get a whole cycle of casing out of it?   seems like that would be a great way to extend and maximize.

Thats not what I said. I don't think that will work for many reasons, but if you wish to try it make a log and post results.
