case layer?
    #4554634 - 08/19/05 06:55 AM (19 years, 5 months ago)

I never totally understood what exactly serves the purpose of a case layer? My only understanding is it helps to keep moisture in and helps to serve as a barrier for contams. Also, should the case layer serve as a food source for mycelium growth, but wouldn't this defeat the purpose to help keep contams out?

-Thanks

It should have no nutrients. And does what you said, it also provides more water to the fruiting shrooms.

Number one it is not a contam barrier really, it's most notable purpose is to provide the best possible micro climate for primordial formation. Other than than it provides somewhat of a moisture reserve for developing fruitbodies. Simple enough, GL and welcome TLO.
BTW it also provides microbes for certain edibles to fruit.
