>>After birthing the cakes do you have you case them ?<<
No, you can grow directly from the cake itself.>>what is the difference ?<<
From what I understand, casing provides a larger surface area for shrooms to grow in, plus provides a contaminant barrier for the mycelium network.
>>when and how much light is good to grow shrooms ?<<
A few hours a day is enough to initiate the pin set. If there is enough light for you to see the cakes, they will pin and fruit (assuming your temp, humidity, etc is correct).
