If it's 90% colonized wait until it's at 100% till you start fanning and introducing to fruiting. If using a casing you can apply it once it's fully colonized. Some introduce it to fruiting immediately after applying the casing and some wait a little bit.

Ok I usely do this in straw bags but trying the casing thing. The straw cake is about 15lbs spawned with 1qt rye. 6" thick. 1'x2' hope n to get a couple oz es cracker dry. Think it will do it.

Straw rarely benefits from a casing layer due to it having a porous surface already.  I get far better results uncased.

Thanks RR ive been following your straw tec for while.  A classic.  ive put a casing on it already guess i should have just left it out. Was told itd make bigger fruit. All i can do now is hope for the best.

Have you ever tryed to "shake" your straw to get it to colonize faster. By shake mean stir it up.
