That's what Robert recommended - put it out in the elements uncovered in a bottomless container on the ground
- which may be the better way to make the fungal cake. Still it was interesting to see what would happen in
a dark area with no supplemental watering, only humidity and condensation from inside the steel barrel of the BBQ grill.
Since RV's traditional methods is what is widely used one could assume that a preponderance of beneficial fungi
would evolve in the starter material or substrate. Perhaps a different ratio of bacteria/fungi grew in my dry,
over 90% aerobic culture, maybe even no bacteria at all though it occured to me that over the duration the fungi eventually died and became 
host for bacterial growth. Maybe the product of the dry culture would contribute to the diverity of beneficial microorganisms in compost if 
added.
