I got these casings and I have not seen any growth throught the casing layer for almost 2 weeks, I think I should have something growing, they are all covered and are kept at at 83-85 dregrees. i had to open them and poke inside to see if there was growth but nothing.. I sterilized the moist peatmoss/verm in the microwave and all. I got them covered cause I read oxygen was not needed till the fruitingstage... umm.. i don't know.. please advise..



what am I doing wrong.. is it too late to save them?

Is the lid on all the time? if so, take the lid off, cover it with foil, and see if that works. Oh yea, get black duct tape and tape the sides of the tupperware so you wont have side pinning, seriously. :-D sound good?

Oh yea, for next time (if you do it yourself or your friend you got them from or whatever), make sure your substrate is a bit more colonized, it KINDA looks like some lack of mycelium, i dunno though.

it's not popcorn, just a brown rice crumbled cake.. I did notice a smell that was not earthy.. it was rather sweet but unusual. is this a sign of contamination?
