Not trying to be a dick buddy, but do you see that little box in the top right corner?
In the time it took you to post this, you could have researched all three of those terms and found a wealth of info on them.
Casing is a top layer of non nutritious substrate used to provide both a microclimate to mushrooms and hydrate your substrate.
Crumbling is a method used with spawn. When you have colonized spawn, it tends to stick together. So you -crumble- it into your bulk subtrate before allowing that to colonize.
And yes, everybody who is serious about growing should get a large amount of vermiculite. 5 lbs would do nicely and be reasonably cheap.
-------------------- Don't like researching posts? Read this! . Also, if you're new and your posts contain the words: Humidifer, incubator, air-stone, or heater, then you need to read and UTFSE before asking people to review your setup. OR... You should be cultivating reptiles and fish, not mushrooms.

Seriously though. "What is crumbling?".
You had to ask what a word is that explains itself? It's what a cookie does if you squeeze it in your hand. Same for, like, anything else.

a casing is used as a barrier between a colonized substrate and the elements. crumbling is crumbling. wtf? and no. dont buy vermiculite. this hobby is beyond your abilities.
