Agreed. I'd skip the casing this time around and definitely never case after your pinset that will just bury your pins for subsequent flushes. The thing to keep in mind here is a pinning substrate is a substrate in generative growth a casing run needs to be in a vegetative state to grow through the casing layer. Also I'd like to add a little insight here think of vegetative myc as a runner building up momentum timing is critical for truly prolific pinsets so we wait and watch and try to time it right. Just before full colonization we induce fruiting this transition takes a few days during this time the mycelium growth slows it does not stop so as you see there will be continued growth if timed right by the time this transition is complete so will be the colonization in the valleys of the casing. This is the true art advanced growers strive for you see we take advantage of this momentum (vegging) to create energy in the generative state this produces your most prolific flushes. Many do this never realizing their time is spot on they wonder why one grow went so great and the next so so. Keep you RH as high as you can get it with plenty of FAE's and sit back you going to experience what patience really is all about!!! GL
Hyphae what do you think about Fahtster's method of late casing? And I'm not baiting you or anything. I am genuinely interested in your thoughts on it.
From a brief scan (I'll go back later) he missed one of the biggest reasons (unless I missed it) a casing supplies a tremendous amount of moisture for those maturing fruits. Sorry I'll don't have a chance to read it more throughly at the moment but I will. I have to say those are some fantastic flushes!

This is my first monotub grow. I spawned rye berries inoculated with Mexican Albino spores to a coir/cpoo/etc substrate almost a month ago, and now I think it may be contaminated. There are brownish/reddish spots on the myc, clearly visible in the first photo to the lower left of the single fruit in the middle - I don't know if any molds look like this. There are some areas of the myc where there is a greenish-blue tint that could be mold - you can see one area in pic 2, taken just after misting so the myc is a little damp. But the greenish-blue color could also be bruised myc - I have to move the tub in and out of the closet sometimes and today the bottom flexed more than usual (there is a visible "seam" in the middle of the substrate), so maybe I injured the myc?
There were a few fruits that already grew past the pinning stage. They are small, thin, and on at least a couple the cap is very light tan with tiny dark specks. They are Mexican Albino as I mentioned - a small grow in a little Rubbermaid storage box I made with leftover spawn has produced a few healthy dark-capped shrooms, but it is a multispore grow. I attached the best pic of the fruits I could take to the end of the post.
So is this enough info to determine whether it's contaminated or not? What should I do next?
