What exactly is casing?
    #22114650 - 08/19/15 11:03 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So on my other posts people were telling me that both coir and Vermiculite is a subtrate (which is what the mushrooms actually fruit off of) so this whole time I thought the coir was casing used as nutrients. Now people are saying it's a subtrate. I think what I have is coir. The only thing that confused me is I bought it online as steralizrd horse manure labeled as casing. So what exactly am I dealing with. Also would mixing vermiculite with the manure and then putting it on top of a thick layer of perlite for my fruiting chamber.

Casing is the act of applying a non nutritious top layer to an already fully colonized substrate to aid in pinning and for some moisture retention.

The people u bought the manure from are idiots, and do not know the lingo.

If it says manure, it is manure, not coir.

Coir is coconut husk, also referred to as coco peat.

Except he did not ask what a casing layer was, he asked what a casing was....lol.

If he just searched for casing, he would still be confused.

Maybe (definitely) I'm drunk, but I don't see a difference. How is a casing different from a casing layer? I always considered "casing" to be a verb, slang for applying a casing layer. My link explains that perfectly.

If he searched for "what is a casing", he would get the same confusing misinformation he already has...

If he searched for "what is a casing layer", then he might learn what was said above.....that one word, layer, throws a lot of people off lol.

For real though. People think it's so hard. PF has a damn text file with everything you need to know,  fits in one post and applies (for the most part) to all saphrophytic fungi.

Adding verm to grains tends to help make up for sloppy preparation but leads to invitro pin formation in the jars.
RR

How? Absorbing extra moisture? How much verm?

I would guess because of the nutrients verm provides. It's that little bit of extra they need to get their dicks up.

That's pure speculation though.

so my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, excuse me if I got this wrong...

but what?
the sentence doesn't make sense... are you proposing to mix colonised spawn with verm and manure and then placing it directly on top of perlite?

This website is here to teach. I like posting specific scenarios and get tips from that. Can't hate on that guys.

what are you planning to use as a fruiting chamber?  u might be getting TEKs mixed up.

u don't want ur bulk substrate to be laying on top of and touching perlite.  it can be in a tray thats sitting on top of a layer of perlite, like an SGFC, but they won't be directly touching.

for a monotub, perlite is not gonna do much of anything almost anywhere u put it.

lol.. It's not even a question... I assumed the same thing...

This is for bulk no? Why is perlite involved?
