casing question

I do not have access to vermiculite (for some reason they do not sell vermiculite in any store in my area), i am growing on whole grain brown rice and i was wondering if i could make a casing without vermiculite (maybe perlite instead?). Or if it is possible to crumble the cakes and put them in a pan without any casing layer? I feel if i grow them in vitro i wont get a good yield. any suggestions

you have jars that are done colonizing and now need a casing layer?
if you have no verm, you can do straight coir from the pet store. it is a compressed brown block used for reptile bedding.

I agree never use perlite in substrate or casings. I also do not recommend straight coir as it's too much work monitoring it's moisture content. You can use any soilless potting mix sterilized also with much better results than straight coir.

Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

try using a coco coir as a casing layer, get some oyster shells if pozzy.
but do not use perlite. NUMBER 1 thing.
