Oatmeal flaking?

Some of the shrooms I grow look like they have oatmeal on the caps, some don't. I've read it's vermiculite, but this doesn't look like that. Anyone ever seen this or know what it is?

Hmm, gold specks on dried shrooms = vermiculite. Light patches jetting from center of caps during growth = a genetic trait. Not sure which one you're asking about.

I do use verm in my casing layer, but it's not a goldish color on my caps. It almost looks like the "skin" on the top of my caps are flaking up but staying attached. My B+ don't do it, though I use the same casing mix for both strains. ???

A friend sent me a print of Agar's DT. They do the same. Strain related, who knows?
