Yes you can just case, I had some very decent grows doing just that. The bulk would supply more moisture. People with suspect possibly contaminated looking jars may case them while its still in the jar, since if they did shake and mix its likely it would not recolonize.

no you definitley dont need too, when i first started growing the most common thing i saw on the internet was cased grains. sometimes it works pretty well you just have to make sure they get enough water.
but really a brick of coir is like a few dollars at the pet store and verm is around 8 for a big bag which you seem to have already or will be buying anyway if you are casing with it. you dont need the hydrated lime unless you are casing with peat and need it for PH.
if you just wanna get a few mushrooms to see if you like growing then go for it i guess i would just like to see you get a bunch of mushrooms lol. i was blown away the first time i did a monotub its a little more work in the beginning but then you have this awesome fully contained setup that produces mad fungus.
what are you planning to fruit this in if you do just cased grains?

Just top fruit it if that's what you want to do. Case it at the top. That's what I did with my avatar pic.

Yes, you can, but your flushes won't be as full as if you had used a more nutritious substrate.
In fact, you could just take the colonized grains and simply fruit them like they are, without using any casing whatsoever. You'll need to monitor the humidity, but there is no reason you should need to apply a casing layer in that scenario.
Casing is used for two purposes: a barrier to protect the medium from contamination and/or to help the medium retain moisture. I fruit my monotub using just straight substrate, as there is no need for casing.

if you fruit just grains they should certainly be cased, and a casing is not there to protect against contams in anyway. it's not even really there for moisture retention either it provides a micro climate for the pins to form although in the case of straight grains i imagine it does help in retaining moisture cause grains by themselves would probably dry out
i imagine this bombsquad is someones puppet that they dont use very often but i just wanted to make sure no one gets confused by his nonsense.

most of the nutrition in your bulk sub comes from the grain, the amount of nutrition in the sub itself is pretty low.
but no, you dont need to spawn the rye to bulk but you really should do it for best results IMO.

Not entirely...

BombSquadron65 said: Yes, you can, but your flushes won't be as full as if you had used a more nutritious substrate.
Why do you think this? Pound for pound, grass seed is just as nutritious as any cereal grain. Some people think as you do because of the different qualities that grass seed has - it's lighter and much smaller seeds are less dense and so a pound of substrate occupies more space than other grains do, leading to a substrate of the same size perhaps having lesser nutrition. But this has other advantages, including greater spread and even ease of consumption, which can potentially produce an even greater yield in the right circumstances than other grains.
The rest of that is actually fairly accurate, even if not exactly as said. The contam barrier is not exactly true as said, with the exception that the surface of dried colonized grains is indeed more vulnerable to contams, and a major purpose of a casing layer on grains is to prevent that.
I have found, in my many tests and experiments, that grass seed is uniquely successful in fruiting without a casing layer. All other grains are too dense and/or large in their structure to be easily consumed quickly enough to ready the substrate for fruiting and for providing the ideal surface with a condition of no- or low-nutrition.
However, no grain is very good at retaining moisture when in a condition to lose just about ANY moisture. For this reason, grass seed should only be allowed to fruit uncased when in invitro conditions, such as enclosed container teks like the first of the two links I posted above.
OP - If you choose to break apart colonized 'cakes' of grass seed and lay them out in some kind of tray, something which I consider not preferable to keeping cakes whole, they most definitely need a casing layer. Considering you're going thru all those steps you would benefit, instead of casing, by adding at least a quart of bulk substrate to provide some moisture, provide points of no- or low-nutrition, and hold the cake together, also providing a flat top surface where moisture loss will be no problem in good fruiting conditions.

This makes it sound like you have done it, especially in the context of this thread. But when I look at your other threads you have a monotub thread and you are adding spawn to bulk substrate.
When you hear people saying "cubensis do not even need a casing" they usually (like 99% of the time) mean mixing it with bulk substrate and not having a dedicated casing layer. But they do not mean fruiting straight off grains.
You will find some invitro grows of shrooms growing straight off grains but it is not optimal, and does not sound like what you were talking about.

My point being, simply saying "you're wrong" isn't helpful. I'm wrong about what? If you can't even begin to say what I got wrong, what am I supposed to look up and learn about?
Substrates don't need nutrition for prolonged flushes? Because I got that from reading on these forums. I was told that manure and other nutritious bits are helpful to strengthen further flushes.
The casing layer isn't primarily used for retaining moisture/protecting the substrate? I got that from the Shroomery FAQ.
By all means, I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, but if you can't even state what is incorrect, then where am I to even begin to correct my misconceptions?

I think the confusion is in Bombs implication that he did this by laying out the grain in a mono. Where your method at least has the benefit of some documentation and a basis in science as to why it works, uncased grain or RGS broken up then laid in a mono is gonna be a poor route.

I usually only go for one maybe two flushes with bulk. But most grains are going to always be the main source of nutes. If you want more nutes for more flushes then use more grain.
A casing with bulk is typically to provide a microclimate and pinning platform. With straw or straight grain it has the added bonus of keeping some moisture in.
Most of the other peoples posts were on point. I see no need to parrot the correct info. Didn't mean to come across as sharp as I did tho. My apologies.

Oh, yeah, if he does mean just straight seed in a mono that's not a very good idea. Highly wasteful at BEST. For whatever reason tho, I didn't get that implication. I figured he just meant mono with bulk sub as normal.

I'm using this tek for the first time right now and getting good results with it and it's about as easy as it gets. I've tried with and without casing and casing is producing bigger fruits for me with my strains. I don't know why, it just is.

Yes, I have done PF, done the greenhouse, and done monotubs. I don't like to talk about my specific outfits too much and I mostly lurk here, rarely posting. Hence my terribly low post count. Thank you for reminding me that I need to delete my pics from so long ago. I had forgotten about them.
Yes, I use a grain substrate for spawning and then a coir/verm/manure substrate for fruiting. Thank you for the explanation, but I do understand what the casing layer is. A casing is NEVER mixed with the substrate. It is on top to hold in moisture and to help minimize contamination.
Anything that is colonized can be induced to fruit, theoretically. The viablity and efficacy are certainly up for debate.

Exactly! That's awesome Orca! Be sure to update the thread with your results, pretty pretty please! I'm curious to know if your larger fruits from cased seed are providing a larger yield than uncased, and if the yield is larger over 3-4 flushes.

Hi Violet! I've got both some quart jars going with two different strains comparing cased and uncased and using bottom watering on both as you recommend. SUPER EASY. The cased grains fruits are thicker and heavier and I'm in the middle of second flush and am thinking of tossing after this flush and starting another ... but maybe I'll keep it going to see what happens, not sure. I'm not that concerned about measuring efficiency more interested in finding really good fast fruiting strains at this point.
My PE strain is the slowest so far and hasn't fruited yet on the uncased quart jars so can't really say with them.
Also, I'm really stoked about the four MS pint jars (different strains) I've got going ... first pins showed up today for the whole culturing system. Had a bunch of company over for a wedding and was super easy to put it all away and hide it ... haha ... try that with tubs and SGFC's!
Next up is with WBR and casing as I've never prepare whole brown rice. What's great is I can have literally 10 different grows (testing) going on one shelf in my home office!

Yeah that's awesome! Have pictures of those flushes, by chance? If so, add them to the thread! It/they could use more photos by other growers showing how easy it is for beginners too, and how good of a result is possible.

Pictures? Haha ... I don't have quite the "courage" you guys have with posting evidence of grows ... What I can say is I was surprised how big and stout those cased fruits were coming from that relatively small "puck" of RGS/casing. I am 100% sure that for a beginner, this is the easiest tek to get good results with PROVIDED you have a clean culture to begin with. The pint jars I started with MS spores is the first time I've ever done (MS spores directly to grain) that as I usually make a clean LC first and inoculate with that. It is SLOW with MS spores directly to the RGS.
This all hides the bigger benefit though of being able to test so many cultures in a small space without a bunch of tubs really quickly. The risk is tiny as if one goes bad you lose ONE JAR ... BFD. I am surprised the cracked jar gives enough FAE but it does -- you're 100% right on that. For the first time, I'm confident I'll find one of those great, fast and big fruiting super clone cultures as I took a bunch of really clean pins that are now growing out on agar with almost no visible contams. The grows start clean, stay clean and reduces contamination risk to nearly ZERO.

Awe that's too bad. For what it's worth, there's no need for concern. If these huge-growing TC's and tek artists like myself can instruct hundreds of thousands of people with no consequence, there's nothing to worry about in small growers posting pictures, which is not illegal in and of itself, nor is it admissible, nor is there a truly functional means of using it for warrants, especially so defended by the site's privacy policy. I hope you consider it!
I'm glad that the culture tek is working out for you! FYI, P.E. fruits more quickly, perhaps better, with casing layers. The difference is more noticeable with PE than others

OK, when I get a really killer clone culture grow completed, I'll post some pics! Might take some time. I've got some SA's that are showing HUGE potential -- want to grow out of the jars ... busting out at the seams!
If you're ever in Central Oregon, let me know as I owe you a beer (or two or three!) for all the great ideas and suggestions and let me tell you, we have great beer here!

Have you done this, or can you point to any threads talking about this.
Again, http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21390984 It's limited mostly to invitro and grass seed specifically, but it actually has full yields with no issues.
Yep, I'm aware of that thread, I was the last person to post in it! I had also said "You will find some invitro grows of shrooms growing straight off grains but it is not optimal, and does not sound like what you were talking about."
though in saying that I meant "regular" grains, I look at RGS as an oddball grain and it had not been mentioned. I was looking for examples of rye/wheat grain shaken and uncased and fruited using more traditional methods, which is what he appeared to infer, and what the OP would probably understand it to mean.

Gotcha. It is indeed an oddball! A wonderful oddball at that

Mdahmer said: no you definitley dont need too, when i first started growing the most common thing i saw on the internet was cased grains. sometimes it works pretty well you just have to make sure they get enough water.
but really a brick of coir is like a few dollars at the pet store and verm is around 8 for a big bag which you seem to have already or will be buying anyway if you are casing with it. you dont need the hydrated lime unless you are casing with peat and need it for PH.
if you just wanna get a few mushrooms to see if you like growing then go for it i guess i would just like to see you get a bunch of mushrooms lol. i was blown away the first time i did a monotub its a little more work in the beginning but then you have this awesome fully contained setup that produces mad fungus.
what are you planning to fruit this in if you do just cased grains?
Okay I guess Im going to have to experiment and see what type of flush I get with the grains on its own as I dont necessarily need a huge yield. But if I'm not satisfied, I would like to move on to spawning coir (or whatever seems to be of good nutrition) in a monotub. Im sorry im new, but can you please explain exactly what a 'monotub' is/consists of in the mycology world? And I plan to put my tub on a bed of hydrated perlite in a large clear fruiting chamber (sterilite tote box) with holes drilled stuffed with polyfill. I will try to keep the humidity around 95-100% and fan 3-5 times a day. Does this sound good for a cased grain setup?
Might be helpful for you to research a SGFC and a Monotub ... lots and lots of threads and information about both. They are two DIFFERENT types of fruiting chambers and what you describe is a hybrid of the two which is probably a bad idea. (SGFC = shot gun fruiting chamber).

Thanks alot all of your guys' help will be veryyyy appreciated and shown in my highly anticipated grow soon:)

Shamanaut17 said: Okay I understand now a monotub is the fruiting chamber itself that you place your substrate in, and a SGFC is a humidified fruiting chamber that you place your cakes in on top of a perlite bed, yes? Question: I plan to make a SGFC with my large clear 19 gal sterilite box. I have my polyfil and everything already. Can I setup the sgfc with the FAE holes and bed of hydrated perlite and place a 9x13x3 pan of grain on the bed of perlite? Or are SGFCs JUST for cakes and monotubs are JUST for grains?
If I was you, I would follow directions to the letter for either a mono tub or a SGFC. The SGFC has the perlite in the bottom and lots of small holes in a grid pattern all over the surface of the plastic container. The Monotub has no perlite and larger but less in number holes with polyfil.
I think most people think of an SGFC for cakes or smaller jars and a mono tub for large trays. The SGFC doesn't work as well if you cover the perlite completely with large trays.
Read the directions carefully and follow them. Do not try to figure it out on your own. Those two systems have been tested and improved extensively. Whatever you do to "change" them will not improve your results but, most likely, do exactly the opposite.

well a monotub doesnt hold trays it is a tub full of substrate and the sub itself provides the humidity.
but yes you can put a tray of grain in a sgfc thats the way to do it unless you have a green house. if the tray is going to cover a large surface of the perlite just find something to raise it up a few inches. like a little metal rack of some kind

yes you can fruit cased grain with decent results I've never done a tray of cased grain I always just fruit it out of the jar by applying a thin "casing" layer using leftover cvg then I use a plastic baggie as a humidity dome type thing I think I get decent results being the only reason I do this is to try and salvage grains I don't trust to spawn to bulk heres a few pics oats pseudo-cased with cvg 
 harvest from above 2
