When you get rhizo(Whispy multi threaded mycellium reaching upwards) style mycellium colonising the top of the substrate, but dont let it get to far where it gets thick and matted otherwise it will just become a dead layer and your pinset will be affected greatly.

well see the weird thing is i use a frosty layer and its always "bumpy" instead of whispey and rhizo-ish. the myc looks like a cloud of perfect bumps everywhere... seen pics like it too on here.

im starting to think the frosting layer is causing me to add my casing too soon and not let the bottom colonize i dont wanna let this happen i was just wondern if u had heard anything similiar
