Casing from LC?

From what I understand LC's should really only be used to inoculate a grain or wbs or poo substrate. But I was wondering if you could pour the LC straight into a casing mix, (LC --> casing) and let the myc colonize the casing.

I'm sure you could, but would purpose would that serve? Your substrate would be so dismal that you'd be lucky to get even the smallest fruits. Liquid cultures are good for spawning material, period. You need another medium to spawn to before your grow would even be considered truly viable.

That's what I plan on doing. I have an LC that's just about ready and a bag of hpoo about 1/3 full. I was going to cut open the bag, pour the LC in, and re-seal. Then I was going to incubate it until it was fully colonized and then spawn the 1/3 full bag to 2 bags worth which are going to be in a good sized Sterilite. Then incubate till colonized. Case. Wait for a week, or until it see myc peeking through, patch if necessary and introduce fruiting triggers. Thats my plan. Ill let you guys know how it works out.

I think I heard roadkill say something along the lines of (don't hold me to this) 2 out of 50 or something bags of pasteurized manure he got to fully colonize with LC inoculate.
You would need to sterilize the manure. Even then I'm not sure if it works so well without the addition of something that the LC can "grab on to" like grain. Then once you have sterilized the bag it would be a bad idea to open it up in open air to add LC.

you are better of making a giant poo cake. either mix in some brf or grain or both with the poo so the LC has somethign to start on. ive onyl ever done this in pints im not sure if a big ass bag would work.
