I would fruit it now. Patch it a bit and put it in the FC. How long it will take to see mushrooms is impossible to tell. Make sure you keep it wet and give it plenty of fresh air.

don't need anyone else.  what he said is spot on. :smile:  the shrooms will come when they're good and ready.  keep temp/rh/fae optimal and you'll get 'em as fast as they can go.  this was a brf cake crumbled and cased with plain verm right?  should take at least a week at this point, probably a little more... it certainly won't pin immediately so keep patient and don't be discouraged, it takes some time.

wellll... technically you don't need a fruiting chamber, assuming there's room for them to grow in whatever container you got them in. you'll basically be doing a miniature monotub of sorts. like i just said though pins come quickest if you keep things optimal. that's what a fruiting chamber does... provides an optimal environment.

if you're gonna keep it where it is, you'll want to lightly mist to keep it moist right up until you see pins. (by lightly mist, that means DONT point your spray bottle at it... stand back, and spray in its general direction so the mist can lightly land on it. do it just until the surface glistens with moisture. don't soak it.) consider some polyfilled holes - a few around the sides at the level of the top of your casing, and a few in the lid. (look at some monotubs to see what i mean) if that's not possible, make sure to fan it a 2-3 times a day. is it a clear container? if so, you're good to go as long as its in the light part of the day (and ya probably want to cover the sides with foil or something where the substrate is so the light only hits the top) if its not a clear container or doesn't have a clear lid... you really want to use a fruiting chamber where you can leave it open so it can get light, or a half-ass approach would be to use some saran wrap instead of the lid.

that might be a good idea, to give it some room to grow, use it upside down over the other one kind of like a roof. that still only buys you a few inches though, if you get lucky and get some big guys they're gonna hit their heads on the cieling! if you go that route i'd cut a window in the top, then tape down some plastic wrap so its still sealed but light can get in. doesn't need to be air tight, but the idea is not to let your humidity out. i think a fruiting chamber is your best bet. you can even get away with a simple cheap transparent rubbermaid container thats a little bigger than your tray, and can get away without the perlite by laying down some damp paper towels under the casing tray and keeping them damp (preferably with a water/10% hydrogen peroxide mix - peroxide is like less than 2 bucks for a good sized bottle, so even if you want to keep it simple im sure you can scrounge that). that's about the simplest it gets for an FC but it would work out.

to fan you just want to open it up, take a magazine or paper plate or something and wave it around a few seconds... just want to move out the co2 that accumulates and replace it with fresh air.

one thing about tinfoil is it reflects light, remember this when you wonder why your guys are growing in all directions. its bad other then it looks less cool and if you get a good pinset sometimes its harder to pick but no biggy.
