I have been reading for awhile, and I tried growing a few years ago. I have a casing that is just starting to pin, but it is only pinning in one small corner. The entire casing is coated in a dense white mycelium. I just don't know if this is normal.

I assume those are pictures in that attachment. Mind uploading them to your gallery and displaying them in a post?
If I understand what you say correctly, though, you have overlay (search the subforum). Fixing it is not going to be a walk in the park. Remember that the aim is not to colonise the casing layer (as has seemed to have happened if I understand you correctly). What you should have done is kept the tray in colonising conditions and allowed the mycelium to grow out into the casing layer so it was visible in the valleys of the layer, then to immediately switched to fruiting conditions and initiated pinning. Now what you'll have is a dense mat of mycelium that will eventually die and form a covering that pins can't get through or grow off of.

Go to Home
Then Personal information, email, password, etc. ............... Edit
Then scroll down until you get to "Your current avatar: "
Then add a link to a pic copied from your Pics folder. Or if you want that grimace paste this in there

Thats one way. But why download a pic, then upload it somewhere else, to then copy the link & display it in anther place, when you can just link straignt to it. Don't need photobucket unless uploading pics from your hard drive. Just copy & paste the url of the pic into the correct space

exagram answered the question already. You didnt intitiate fruiting conditions early enuf or properly; so your casing colonized causing a mycelia mat that will refuse to pin. "overlay".

Pic #2 = Massive overlay.
Scratch that with a clean fork and put a thin casing layer on top.

The casing is MGMC. So here's my next question:
Do I let the pinning area finish growing before I scrape and patch?

you already got your answer...

that is one of the worst cases of over colonization of a casing layer that I have ever seen in all my years here at the Shroomery!~
next time don't let the mycelium get that far out of hand...
as soon as you see the mycelium just starting to come up through the casing layer is when you want to initiate fruiting.
good luck!~

How did I get my answer already? I read the scrape part, but no one said anything about the existing fruits. Also, I did some reading about overlay. Some say it's not a big deal with cubensis, others say NEVER to scrape a casing. Perhaps if you'd just answer the question directly (which takes about as much time as saying "you got your answer already), there could be an exchange of ideas here that might help a newbie like myself learn something.

sorry...
I didn't have enough coffee yet...
my mind isn't 100% awake yet...and I read that wrong!~
either way...
you can let those fruit...
or you can pull the pins...
your choice.
then I'd scratch the matted area's...
and put a light casing layer down over the mycelium.

Thanks man, I appreciate the revised response. I hate to have to pull the pins as some are pretty big and I get one or two more every day, but I don't want to waste the casing either.
