I would still hold off a bit. It should be completely white and hopefully with lots of rhizomorphs reaching toward the sky.
This is the most crucial part of the game IMO. Case too early and you're only gonna be kicking yourself later. If you wait till you're SURE it's completely colonized, you will rarely be disappointed. What's a few more days at this juncture anyway, right?
ps. I've never heard anyone complain about their grow because they cased too late.

No cobweb there, just healthy myc. Good luck with the rest of the grow, and keep us updated with pics!

3 days ago, this monotub was cased with ~1/2" of MGMC. a piece of tinfoil with many small holes poked in it was placed on top of the casing. temp around 80.
after checking today, it looks exactly as it did when the casing layer was applied. no mycelia is poking through the casing layer. the casing layer is still moist, but not overly saturated - everything seems to be like it should.
are pins imminent?
the tin foil has been removed and fruiting conditions induced - 12 hours of natural light, a fan is on low, oscillating 24/7 in room.
should something else have been done? does mycelia always overtake the casing layer?

The mycelium should be poking through the casing layer prior to fruiting.

over 3 days, the mycelium did not noticably grow into the casing layer. is it too soon to expect that? is something wrong?

it has been a 8 days since the casing layer was added (MGMC). there are two miniscule spots where it looks like mycelia is poking through. but for the most part it looks the same as it is did immidiately after the casing layer was applied. the tin foil was removed from on top of the casing 5 days ago. the casing layer is still moist and the monotub is retaining its humidity. it looked basically like the pictures above when cased.
any ideas?

did you pack down the casing layer? if so, the myc might have a hard time getting through

this was checked after day 3 - a sterilized fork was very lightly run through the casing layer to make sure it was fluffy and not packed down. it has remained moist since being applied. this is a monotub - trying to treat it as one by not fussing with it...
contams are a worry, but right now none are visible and it still smells like it should.
is there any point to removing this casing layer and recasing? at what point must some adjustment be made?
