my first attempt at poo

i just spawned my first two poo casings tonight.. one was a cooking tin that i used 2 quarts of rye berries and about 3 - 4 lbs of poo.. i want it to colonize quickly so i used a high spawn:poo ratio. all i did was crumble up the cakes with clean hands and rubber gloves, and then dumped the poo on top and mixed it all around.
and the other one i put in a round tupperware thing with only one pint of rye and about a pound of poo
i didnt stick them in my incubator, the sides are opaque, no light can get through and the tops are covered with one layer of foil with holes.. and one layer over the top of that. they are both covered with blankets and sitting at room temperature (67-71 degrees)
i will use every ounce of will power i have and try not to check it for atleast 5 days
and by then, i will have pictures.
im still debating on whether or not i am going to add a casing layer or just fruit them straight
i cant wait to see results, i hope everything works. after breaking up the rye berries i noticed there were a lot of grain that wasn't colonized so there is a chance that it got contamed. id say the jars were about 90%

I thought you had to add a casing layer to make the mycelium think it is running out of food causing it to think it's time to reproduce?

well the poo creates heat on its own and my incubator stays around 81 so i dont want to over heat it... plus, its full of jars, lcs, and bags... no room for the casings

how long does it usually take for the grain to recover and begin to colonize the poo... on the second casing i did, i left the bottom see through so i can check on progress (but no light will get through cause it will be on the floor, wrapped in a towel) ... but anyways it looks the same as when i mixed it yesterday.. i know when i do g2g transfers i usually see growth after 24 hours
