Will myc grow on casing layer?
    #12588247 - 05/18/10 07:51 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

I'm doing my first 2 casings and they have been incubating for 3 days.  When I checked on them there is white fungus growing on top of the vermiculite top layer.  Is this mycelium or a contamination?

Here are pics of the 2 casings (click for bigger picture):

Who's that man in the windowpane
Got somethin' on his tongue and it's startin' to stain

That is myc and it is common, you could patch those spots so it ends up more even in the end but it isn't needed.

I ran out of verm :blush:

Should I put them in the fruiting chamber now or should I keep them incubating until the top is almost all colonized?  Tomorrow will be the 4th day of incubation.

if you think it is ready, I dont case with cubes usually so Im not familiar with exact colonization times.

None of the teks are at all helpful for my question, that's why I asked it here.  I never suspected that the FAQs would hold the answer since the teks were either vague or differing when it came to the matter.

None of those teks deal with when to fruit a casing? Really? :rofl:

:kingtard:
