If a cake is colonizing and already showin' signs primordia formation (meaning its been colonizing for awhile maybe), Should you just birth the thing and forgo the dunking & casing in order to protect the promordia?

To answer OnThatJourney, look at the "Newbies fear casing for a few reasons, none of which are flippant:" paragraph.

I have inoculated some 40 jars with various strains (Golden Teachers, Thai, Colombian Rust, B ,Penis Envy, and Hawaiian) spores... I used both 1 pint rye substrate jars and 1 and 1/2 pint BRF substrate jars.. I am incubating at around 82-84 degrees and have set up my fruiting chamber. I understand the concept of the "dunk and roll" 100% if I were going to take my cakes dunk and roll them, put them upside down on a piece of aluminum foil in the fruiting chamber. But I want to use PF 50/50 casing Tek with the Peat Moss and Verm.. My Question is once they are done incubating and I dunk them if I plan on casing them should I skip the "roll stage"??? It doesn't seem to make sense to cover them in dry verm then put a casing layer over that... Does that seem logical?? I have looked up everything on everything and I cannot find this thread anywhere. So if you could give me some advice I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this article! I kept hearing/reading about what casing is and how to do it, but I was still unclear on the purpose for it. This article spells it out very clearly. I'm definitely going to try it.

Nice article, only it's missing a "Why not?" section. I see why I should case, but what are some risks when casing?
