hey guys, just thought i would share with you my first casing. without your help this wouldn't have been possible. i used two half pint Z-strain PF cakes, and cased them with potting soil that had an unknown ratio of sphagnum moss, verm, and pH balance.
using hyphae's awesome pinning strategy (thanks man) the pinset turned out great.

the fruits grew out quite nicely, and gave a good looking first flush.


and if you can beleive it, gave 69 mature shrooms. just one of natures little jokes i guess 

overall though, it was a great learning experience, and i urge everyone who has ever thought about trying to case to please give it a shot. if you follow some simple steps outlined by many of your fellow shroomers you cant go wrong. 
cya, and thanks again

it is called "country cottage professional mix" or something very similar to that. i just read the ingredients a little closer and it consists of about 50/50 sphagnum/verm with limestone as a pH adjuster. picked up a bag at the local garden store for a couple bucks, and it turned out to work quite well.

-------------------- Getting the most out of your casings!, A pinning strategy. Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
