Hyphal knots starting to form! The suspense is killing me 
I went out and got some vermiculite to add a casing layer.
Do you guys prefer early casing, or late casing? Considering the timing of everything, I'll probably be doing a fairly late casing.

I don't have any opinion on casing, but I just wanted to say I'm interested in the outcome here. Please give me some updates the suspense is killing me!

So I'm having trouble getting it to fruit. I figured the tub wasn't getting enough airflow so I just barely cracked the lid open and left it like that. The humidity looked like it dropped a good bit from the added air flow judging by the reduced condensation on the walls, but no fruits have developed. I began to worry that it was too dry, but now I can see mycelium growing up through the casing layer. Perhaps I should cut back on spraying every day to every two or three days?
I used a peat/verm casing at 50/50.

Just keep on keeping they just take they're time then boom! Find a good balance of misting/fae

You could try sticking a gnat trap in there.

Luckily the gnats seemed to have gone away once I introduced fruiting conditions.

So still no further development on the tub. I got a couple pins that aborted on me. I'm starting to think I may not be misting enough. The mycelium is pulling away from the walls and now there's side pinning, so it's well consolidated. I'm thinking to maybe drill more holes and increase misting. I've been misting once every morning to where everything has a good glisten to it.
Here's a pic with all the holes visible: https://i.imgur.com/5J4xIQF.jpg

It doesn't seem I can resize images with the bbcode?

Got any new photos? I'm curious to see it.
I am not sure but from all my reading i think there is no such thing as too much FAE. Just need to keep on the mist-er more often if you have like a tonne of FAE...

No new development worth taking pics. I moved it out of the closet and into my bedroom after a friend mentioned there could be higher CO2 buildup in the small closet.
Thinking of trying dunking for a proper flush now that FAE should be better. Though I'm worried it might immediately trich over afterwards...

Well I'm finally having some success. Switching to coco coir seemed to fix the problem. I believe i wasnt getting fruits because I had no straw in my hpoo and it was too dense, suffocating the mycelium.
Ive got my first decent pinset coming in. Fingers crossed that not too many of them abort.


Also took some pins for cloning
