Casing Procedures
Methods for creating a non-nutritive, protective, moisture-providing top layer for substrates growing species that need this.

Sort: [- When should I put the casing into the fruiting chamber?
Once the mycelium appears in the valleys of the casing layer, meaning you can see mycelium strands beginning to poke through the casing layer, but the surface of the casing is not yet colonized, you should initiate pinning.
- Why are there mushrooms only growing from the side of the casing?
This usually happens for 2 reasons: 1.

Casings will oftentimes "shrink" during the course of colonization, and will often do so towards the end of a flush.
