Why let casing get to 20% colonization?

Why let it colonize to 20% and then fruit as opposed to fruiting immediately? Isn't casing basically a microclimate simulator for pins to form underneath?

The casing layer will naturally be uneven over the substrate. Allowing it to partially colonize then allows you to patch the “shallower” parts of the casing so that it is a more even depth during fruiting, allowing for more even pinsets

In the guides i've read, they patch only the corners of the colonized casing leaving the rest of the colonized casing in the center without any patchwork.
And all of them make the casing even by spreading it out, what gives?

I’m not sure what teks you’ve read, but this is the way I’ve done casing/patching for 13 years. It doesn’t matter how evenly you try to spread it out, the surface of the substrate will always be bumpy which is why the casing colonizes unevenly, which is why patching is done, to make it even. If the casing layer was perfectly even to start off with, then it would colonize evenly the entire time and you’d never need to patch

Some people fruit from spawning. You just have to watch the water content.

are you patching corners only or any mycelium poking first compared to the rest beneath?

Also: Why did people use to say or keep saying that peat is non nutrition? It's decomposed moss, how is not nutritious?
