Bulk substrate to casing methods question

I have a rye grain bulk spawn bag ready for casing - I was wondering about large scale bulk casing versus dividing the substrate up... Its basically one of the large bulk bags, not the small - so its a good deal of rye substrate (mexican)
Also - if 60% verm and 40% coir is the basic casing... could that be 60 coir and 40 verm? because thats what I used for my last 4 casings and wonder if theirs anyway to remedy this if need me... I basically just made them last night.
Thanks!

Verm and vermiculite are the same thing lol. 50/50 casing is a pretty common casing though. You can case with almost anything, experiment and see what you like best.

Should I add more verm to the mix since my casing is more like 75/coir and 25 verm? or is it too late? they've been in a casing for under a day

ok well first off there not called casing, casings are a layer added on top of your fruiting substrate at full colonization what you are reffering too is a bulk sub, yes take your grain spawn and mix it up evenly with some pasturized bulk sun(i use 2 qt's of verm per brick of coir) and let that colonize then add an optional casing layer.
