the mushrooms are smarter than you at mushrooming, I would personally let them do their thing.

Pretty good way to put it. 

OP, get a thicker verm layer on during your dunk & roll or just stop with the cakes and fuck with something you can case more easily.  Either way, more pins.

So start thinking like a mushroom? It was likely warmer and moister under the mycelium, which is why it prefers to pin there? Kind of eliminates the evaporation triggering theory if that's the case though. Call me clueless. :confused:

It's the rate of evaporation and the surface humidity.  It's hard to have surface humidity on a vertical surface in an open area.  That's what the verm roll is for.

I cased both chunks of mycelium and they fully colonized the vermiculite

There's your issue.  When it's fully colonized it doesn't serve the purpose of keeping the mycelium from losing moisture as quickly.  I couldn't tell you how to avoid that other than maybe rolling again if it colonizes the verm without pinning.  It should only colonize the verm just enough to hold it onto the cake.

I'll re-reroll after this flush is over. The top and bottom have a decent amount of vermiculite, but the sides could use a bit more. :pipesmoke:

Well pins are pretty resilient but sometimes they get left behind when you try to move a substrate:tongue: That's the worst case scenario I remember encountering when I was flipping cakes.
