Oh Mighty Shroom Gods
please accept this humble offering of burning ganja
as a symbol of gratitude
for your generosity
in providing a fruitful harvest
may life continue to sprout forth
and bestow wisdom among the people

Amen

And the reason for rolling in verm is to "increase surface area" as I've read.

Nope. The answer to that is this:

wet vermiculite holds moisture really well...my guess is that it acts as a reservoir that feeds the mycelium around it...

well let's make a more thorough explanation so everyone wins...

wet vermiculite holds moisture really well...it acts as a reservoir that feeds the mycelium around it...creating more pinning points...increasing the the surface area used for growth...

I read in a few other posts that it increases surface area...I think it is probably both. However I thought just coating something in something couldn't increase surface area could it?
