This is first fruiting of a cake that took liek 2 months to colonize, only 1 week to grow mushrooms though. Humidity is around 90% in the FC using like 1" perlite. I never dunked this cake due to I cannot find vermiculite at any vendor around town. Im wondering if and how I should dunk this cake and for how long.. Without vermiculite.

Those are nice little mushies. You don't need verm to do a dunk..can just submerge the cake in water for 16-24 hours (I try for 24) and then put it into fruiting. The verm just acts like an artificial casing layer after the fact and keeps the cake moist but the dunk itself helps remoisturize the cake in the first place.

I don't know where you live or anything but I've found vermiculite at a lot of spots. Hydroponics shops, home depot, OSH, this weird place I went to today called Do-It-Yourself Center (the place was actually pretty cool), and other garden supply shops.

Anyways good luck and congrats on your fruits!

You can dunk without rolling. In fact, if you don't have verm, I would definitely dunk it anyway. 12-24 hours is a good amount of time. Just put the cake in something large enough that you can completely submerge it, and weigh it down (cakes float). Cover your container (saran wrap, aluminum foil or a lid if the container has it, and set it aside. Just make sure you remove all pins and aborts before you do this.
Rolling in that casing mix might help, but if it has coir in it I wouldn't. To much of a contam risk. But, that pic looks like straight verm to me.
