first off im a little confused with the terminalogy. I am doing wbs mixed with poo in a tin baking sheet without a casing layer. What is this called? Secondly, the entire thing is colonized and is starting to pull away from the container, is this overlay? When should i put it in the fruiting chamber because I have other ones not far behind? I thought I had to wait until it was completely colonized?

2 answers! :smile:

colonized wbs to poo is called spawning.  the poo and wbs together is called your substrate.  there's no real term for substrate in a baking tin... it is what it is.  to call it a casing, that would imply a casing layer, and since you're not using one, its not technically a casing!

and no, overlay has nothing to do with it pulling away from the container.  its doing that because its dry and has shrunken a little.

overlay is a condition where mycelium totally overruns a casing layer, and becomes matted down, making a tough thick surface inhospitible to pins.  again, since you're not using a casing layer, you can't possible overlay it!

WBS is used as a spawn,

Hpoo is a substrate, that is spawned too, like WBS,

Once you mix the spawn and the substrate, it then colonizes,

When it is fully colonized then you add a casing layer,

Once the Mycelium starts to poke threw then you start to induce fruiting,

well put. also unlike a casing and more like a cake you will want to run at 100% humidity (rH). this is beucase just like a cake you have no casing layer to provide a higher rH microclimate so you need the climate itself to be more humid.

good luckkk
