Casing is not required in the way that it is for agaricus however I have found that it's still beneficial for cubes and some cultures will prefer one. Of course I have also found cultures that dislike casing so if one is working with stable genetics it's prudent to run them on many substrates/different configurations, etc because what might do crappy in bottles might kick ass in a mono.

I'm sure that book you found is chock full of garbage info.
The number one problem we have here is people getting their cultivation info from shitty books like that. Then having to un-teach them.

This place is the best resource for stuff. People here not only are actively working on things but also source and reference specialized peer reviewed science constantly. As a living breathing constantly evolving resource the shroomery is hard to beat.
Sometimes new people don't like the blunt method most people here use to express themselves. But it's never personal, it's always about advancing the hobby.

Agreed sometimes flukes happen with grain jars. Thats why people tend to stick with there favorite until 100pounds of grains go south. So if i was starting out again i just look for the cheapest grain i could get unlimited supply of.

dear tc perhaps you are being a bit prematurely critical? the book appeared to be good to me> i will order it today and then when i get it i will inform you of its contents and we shall see what you think. i do understand what you mean however in general.

 i understand and that makes sense. casing is a refinement that can be challenging.

Most cultivation books other than the old classics are wrote by book writers not cultivators. Just someone who wanted to write a book to get a check now and then and happened to know something about cultivation.
Assuming this book is about cubensis specifically Most of the time those books say things like Incubators are great you want 80+F (even tho room temp 65-75 is ideal for cubensis) Complete darkness is good for colonization (nope) Don't mist your cakes directly (because that makes sense...) Cubes want 99% humidity (this is a complicated one since they want a surface humidity that high but the ambient air in the fruiting chamber should not be that saturated with moisture) Etc...
9 times out of 10 if a noob starts with a book or YouTube they come here posting why is my grow not working

You can try a shroomery sponsor and buy a spore syringe or wait another 2 months and make a post in the marketplace. Or maybe a generous shroomery member will pm you and be nice enough to send you a print!

nate there you are again. may i ask what the two month thing is all about? i just gave you a 5 star rating and i see that many others feel the same way. what is a shroomery sponsor? i like prints not syringes. what is the marketplace?

The marketplace is a forum on here where shroomery members who have been here at least 90 days with 50 posts can trade items of all kinds, including spore prints.
