Gypsum is calcium sulfate It's alot different them Lime.
Hydrated lime is calcium carbonate.

No its not
hydrated lime is Calcium hydroxide
Calcium carbonate is in oyster shells pearls egg shells

If you don't mind me chiming in, coir/verm is excellent. Add gypsum at 10 perctent to your coir/verm.

Calcium carbonate Caco3 is heated up to 900C for a few hours that drives off the co2 turning it into Calcium oxide, they add that to water and wait till the water evaporates now you have Calcium hydroxide

This is a small portion on the back of the "Lawn and garden lime" bag.

I also have no gypsum.

Being that its 90% Calcium Carbonate or at least equivalent too, why not? Just out of curiosity.

Because hydrated lime and Calcium carbonate are used to lower the PH of casing to a alkaline state thats all. Myc does not like alkaline
Gypsum is used to increase your overall fruiting performance without changing the PH

There is gypsum at my local ACE, but its in the plaster and cement mix section. I was told its supposed to be in the garden area. I don't know if its the same thing

Gypsum from plaster of paris is fine just spread it out and let it dry then use

The search engine here is your friend. It's been posted hundreds of times to stay below 2% Mg when using lime, and that's why 'garden lime' is not used in CASING LAYERS. It's not used at all in substrates. Use gypsum at up to ten percent by volume, but in reality 5% or even a tad less results in darned good performance. I've dropped down to 3% gypsum by volume in my sawdust blocks and there was no decrease in performance. RR

RR. This is a contradiction. http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Casing-Layer-Preparation
You also recommended hydrated lime in your Straw Pasteurization video to control PH swings in your straw substrates but you have cut that out of your sample clips. I am not a stranger to cowpoo/straw and the pillow case tek http://www.shroomery.org/5213/What-is-a-good-way-to-pasteurize-straw-and-dung and was gonna combine the way you pasteurize your straw and your horse manure for my next straw dung substrate and inoculate with yellow oyster rye grain spawn in a laundry basket. I don't like the pillow case tek because you so obviously bleed out all those beneficials.
I have used this casing recipe a few times. http://www.shroomery.org/54/50-50-Casing-Tek
So which methods do you ultimately prefer? What are you currently using that gives you the most success?

use that water to soak your grain in. and give your straw a presoak in it before mixing with the the manure. you can use it as the water for pf cakes. you could pasteurize a brick of coir with a gallon of it boiled.
whatever you do dont waist it.
i like the pillowcase method but i just put it in a bucket with boiling water and weight it down then put the lid and leave it for 2 hours.
i like easy

I agree with all of what you are saying and have considered it as well except for the rye soak. I like that but I figure, why bleed out, why blame us, lol all those beneficials if you don't have to. Keeping all those beneficials in your substrate for your fruiting bodies to feed upon, to me, is superior. I also agree the pillow case method is a snap. Although, I don't mind the extra work or steps it takes to do things the very best of ways. I am a worker.
