when to case/fruit???

hello folks,
Can somebody please shoot me a link on how my substrate(50%poo/50%straw) should look when it is ready to be cased?
AND PLEASE, could you also shoot me a pic on how my casing should look when its ready to fruit?
I tried searching, but did not find my answer. I am new here and do support the vendors, big time!
I may be ready to case but I see about 25% or so of the top of my substrate still has not been colonized by mycelium. I was wondering if I should give it another day or so...
thanks a bunch!

i just done my 1st casing and I waited 3-4 days in incubation for the myc to pop up in afew places in the casing layer, then i patched it and put in FC ,after 5 -6 days in there lots of good pins comin! B aware that the myc takes a few days to switch from vegative mode to fruiting mode so timing is essential at this point, but dude dont listen to me im a newb,wait for some old heads to answer......lol

holy crap agar (pardon the language)
by any chance did you use a blender to blend your spawn? How did you get your mycelium to colonize so evenly???
do you recommend to use a blender to blend the spawn? If so at what setting, I am assuming not liquify???
I think I have read that a blender is a good idea for breaking down cubes spawn (but at what setting) but it is not a good idea for Cyans... can somebody verify this???
10000 pins FractalXplora uh huh lol very impressive
thanks!

You could put cakes in a blender. But grain spawn in a blender would turn to mush (no pun intended).

i found using a spoon wiped down with good alchol90%+, then break up with spoon a bit and dump into ziplock bag, fasten shut and then break up with your hands, no touching spawn works nice for me as i find evn when i shake jars they end up in one big piece come time to spawn!

Because if overlay gets matted, then you've run into trouble.

Ok you guys need to read my pinning strategy to learn what overlay actually is!!!! A truely overlayed casing will fruit poorly if at all the reason being is true overlay is a vegetative stroma type growth which rarely fruits! What your seeing is a fully colonized casing it's that simple if we can just understand this! This does get so fustrating when newbies keep telling other newbies this or that is overlayed when in fact it is not! Please read and learn and relay knowledge not misinformation! Thank you
-------------------- Getting the most out of your casings!, A pinning strategy. 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!!!"
