I'm in the process of cold shocking for second flush but realized that I have forgotten to roll it over wet verm so I have 2 spots that didn't grow any fuzz in the fruiting chamber (looks dry). Is it too late to roll it or should I just fruit em already??

you could try misting the cake and rolling it in the vermiculite.

You'll have to describe what you're doing. Cold shocking is for cold weather edibles or wood loving mushrooms, which don't get rolled in verm. You don't cold shock cubes. Normally, you just dunk overnight in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial buildup, then roll in verm and place in the FC. Are yours dunking now? If so, after the dunk, wash very well under the faucet, then roll in vermiculite and place in the FC. RR

I recommend rolling the wet cakes in dry verm then misting them to field capacity this way the verm sticks much better and more uniformly.
