 Casing Problem :(

Hi there... I have a small problem with my casing, and I figured some people on here might be able to help me out.... here we go...
about a week or so ago, I took 2 1 pint jars, that where fully colonized, broke em up, and made a case including: 1/2 inch of verm, on bottom, the myco on top of that, then another 1/2 of vermiculite...
2 days after i made it, i checked it and saw that some myco was already poping up, here and there... but since it has been about 2 weeks... ive seen nothing, no new growth, its still the same with no signs of rot or contaminations... its crazy.
any idea whats wrong? do i need to just give it more time?

the substrate is in a mycobag and you put the casing over the bag ?

your casing layer sounds too thick...straight verm casings suck anyways...mix it up with some coco coir

There is a reason it may have stalled. One might be that its just colonizing in the middle for a stronger community of myc. Is the verm layers damp? did you allow air exchange? Its not bogus, its a perfectly good tek. You probably did something wrong. Dont mess with it though, messing with it will only cause stalling, contams, or overlay.

Bump, I cased two pans of 100% colonized rye over a week ago (not actualy sure how long its been) and I see a tiny little white fluff ball in one casing. I thought it was cobweb it was so faint but it isnt cause it would have spread all over by now. I cased with straight verm (moistened) and then sealed them in mycobags. Any ideas why there is no signs of further growth? There are no visible contams and they are in a incubator in the mid 80's.

Scratch the casing layer with some sterilized fork, mist , give plenty of air and some light.

I dunno about all that now .... I enjoy my Molasses ...... I think I'd go for a swim in some Molasses if someone filled their pool with it 
But here's a question for everyone: Verm and Peat Moss or Verm and Coco Coir? Which one do you all think is the better mix?
