I don't know how you would do that while you've got mushies growing on it...Seems like anything you would use to kill the flies would poison or kill the mushies as well.

They are prolly gnat flies. Small quick moving little things that crawl on the casing right? As far as im concerned you cant really get rid of them. They just eat your mycelium and keep laying eggs, I would suddgest getting that you can from the casing and then tossing it. Next time try to start clean and sterilize/pasturize well. I was never able to get rid of them anyhow. SOme one else might thave though.

That is the cure. Get a bag of DE from the garden center and sprinkle a thin layer on top of your casing. Completely cover the casing layer. The DE is extremely sharp to insects and will rip them to shreds when they crawl across it. DE is only effective until it gets wet, so you'll have to reapply it after misting. It's non toxic. RR

number one: One should try to never kill any living being.
number two: If killed, and only if it's necessary, the flies shouldn't die in vain...
number three: So, if unavoidably killed, do it not by chemical or biological means.
number four: ...So you can...EAT AN WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM AND ANALYZE THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS! :P

Just curious? Are these gnat flies a commen problem with H-Poo substrate casing? If so, how the hell do you prevent them from the beggining? I assume field picked poo would have more risk for them??

gantrol is applied as a top water or concentrated spray. good pasturization and a sealed fruiting chamber should prevent them from entering your grow. usually.
