Best pH for fruiting and preventing contamination?

What is the best pH value of the casing to go for when fruiting while also preventing contamination?

A pH of 8 is a good place to make your casing mix initially.

Mushroom mycelium grows and fruits best at a lower pH of around 5-6, but unfortunately, that pH also favors contaminants as well. Mushroom mycelium is more tolerant of a higher pH than molds, which is why we add lime.
