Most people will tell you to start with the pf tek and fruit in a shotgun chamber, but that sounded like a lot of work with so-so success rate, so I grew my cakes pf tek style and crumbled them into a mini monotub ala DocT's tek. I had a couple of cakes left over, so I put them into 3 liter bottles and left them to do their thing with minimal misting and fae. I haven't kept track of total yield, as we've been steadily consuming them :P probably around 1/2 ounce so far, but I'm in only in the middle of my first flush off. Oh, and only legal strains, of course. Shiitakes are delicious and fun to grow
no problems with trich or mold. Just remember that sterility is key
