i posted this on advanced cultivation, but thought i might post it here as well for some additional opinions.
one week ago my lizard cased a well-colonized substrate (ps. cub.) of rye, straw and worm castings with a peat-verm-lime-oyster shell mixture balanced to 7.5 ph, and there has been very little mycelium movement into the casings. the substrate is in several small shoebox-sized plastic boxes within a large plastic container. the container was unheated, but temperatures were in the upper 70s with 95% humidity. there is no visual sign or smell of contamination (although i have had wet-spot infections recently in other rooms...). the lizard felt that perhaps the casing was too dry, so he started misting well, and he ruffled the casing down to the substrate, hoping to distribute new moisture and aid in colonization. also raised the temps to the mid 80s.
any advice on how to proceed will be appreciated. i suppose at this point, there is nothing to do, except wait. regardless, i'd love to have any input.
thanks in advance for your help, and all the best to you voyagers out there...
