After the "COIR" colonizes and turns all white you add thin casing layer and give it a week or so till myc starts to grow through casing layer and then put to fruiting. A casing layer is supposed to hold humidity on the subs surface making it have a bigger more even pinset. If you use too much casing layer or let it colonize too much then you screwed up your tub.
Prof P said that miracle grow potting soil at field capacity works great as a 1/4" casing layer.

Coir is a poor casing layer because the myc colonizes it. Peat/verm and other mixes are ideal because they're non-nutritive to the mycelium, ph neutral, and will hold moisture evenly when misted. This provides a nice microclimate for growth.
