My experience has been that you delay your crop for 2 to 4 days if you crumble them up. I have also observed that if I crumble them and therefore spread the substrate thinner, my shrooms are more abundant, but smaller. To each his own, but I crumble them. The xtra few days is no worry.------------------

crumbling causes even flushes, while uncrumbled will flush uneven, bigger, yet fewwer shrooms... over multiple flushes it all ='s out.....Personally I like the crumbled best,

Crumbling is better for larger yeilds. When I case, I put 1" of a 50/50 pre-moistened potting soil/vermiculite mixture in a 12" x 12" tray. Then I put three 1/2 pint jars of crumbled 100% colonized cakes on top in an even layer. Then I add three 1/2 pint jars of sterilized substrate (not inoculated) on top of that in an even layer. I then top it off with 1" of pre-moistened 100% potting soil.
The purpose of adding the three non-inoculated jars of substrate is to give the mycelium extra nutrients to consume resulting in a longer life span and larger caps (twice the yeild).
You can e-mail me a request and I will e-mail back my casing instructions.

Thats interesting, you should post your recipe here...I would imagine that the extra nutrients would be more prone to contams then the colonized substrate... Casings are easily contaminated as is. You would probably be better off just adding 6 1/2 pints of fully colonized grain, and forget the 3 uncolonized 1/2 pints....
