are these casings looking sexy?
    #5507778 - 04/12/06 11:39 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

These are my casings three days into incubation...does everything look ok from what you can make out? This is coco and verm...is it a good idea to start fruiting once 1/2 of the surface has myc poking out?








Thanks everyone.

you really should cover the side if you haven't already, pins will grow from there. also how deep is your casing layer? it looks to be pretty thick compared to the substrate, anyways nice job looks good.

That casing layer looks pretty thick from what I can see and you will likely get side and bottom pinning where light can hit the substrate. Most people that use coir as their casing say to begin fruiting as soon as you see myc poking through because of the speed in which the myc colonizes it. You said the casing is mixed coco and verm and it looks thick, so I'd just try to get an idea of how fast the myc is growing through it and patch as needed to get it to colonize as evenly as possible. It will have to be a judgement call.

the sides are covered with duct tape but i opened it up for the picture. there is about 1.5-2" of colonized wbs and a little less than 1" of casing on top.

not refraction...not enough water. But i did take the pic at the wrong angle. It still appears pretty thick. There are spots in the middle however, which are covered with less than 1 cm. The crumbled wbs has formed a myc layer...it was not nearly as white and fuzzy when crumbled into the container.
