you case it when it's colonized and fruit when it's at about 30%, i'd fruit it asap!

Did you apply this casing layer when you spawned, or after the substrate fully colonized?

Did you case it before it was colonized? And what did you use? If you cased it well before colonization, and it's now 95% colonized,, I'd probably re-case(depending on what you used to case). But that could just be because I've had very little luck with PE without a good casing.

I never let my casing colonize at all. I colonize my bulk, throw the casing layer on and put it in fruiting. Depending on the species, I may patch it when it comes through. It hasn't failed me yet, on many different species.

I don't think you screwed anything up,, I think you just used your casing layer as substrate. I believe you could just fruit it when it's 100% colonized,, but in my experience with PE,, you'd probably rather case it first. So if it were me,, I'd just re-case it with a thin layer (maybe 1/4" 50/50) a few days after it's 100% colonized, then I'd fruit after about 20% starts peaking through.

Then what you put is not considered a casing layer, it's just a layer of bulk substrate.
Wait until it's fully colonized to case and then fruit.
