All you can do is just make sure you've got good temps, lots and lots of FAE, and high humidity. How's your humidity, 1" is a little less than advised. Just be patient and don't freak out yet. Sometimes it can take a little while.

Well im still kind of a noob but from what i read vermiculite has no nutritional value so there is nothing for the mycelium to "eat". The only point of rolling the cake in verm is to give the mycelium a source to pull moisture from. It may grow through the verm a little and poke out some, but from what i understand it doesn’t use it as food.
