I woud just spawn that WBS to a tray, then place the tray in the monotub after it re-colonizes. This way, you could put the lid on the tray and add a casing layer.
If you aren't going to go all out and add at least 1:1 spawn/bulk, then just do all spawn for the sake of contams. I know that's crazy, but really why risk you healthy myc for just a little bit more bulk?
and I would chop that straw a little bit more, just a little.
ASPORE, then that wouldn't be a monotub, it would be a fruiting chamber for casings, GET WITH IT!!
he's talking about a monotub dude, not a fruiting chamber:
herer is a monotub:

so not confuse anyone...

antimatt3r it's looking great!
next time double your substrate depth though would be my suggestion, other then that text book monotub!

hey antimatter...
im not criticizing you.. but why such a thin layer of casing? I just see it as a waste of time to even prepare 50/50 + if you're only going to use a small amount like that.
with a layer that small.. i would have gone with the late casing tek and maybe about twice as thick a casing layer. Thats just in my experience. that casing to me looks like it will hold as much moisture as it would uncased.
I hope it explodes. I've never used straw only, but have heard, and read a lot about one flush wonders. but insane first flushes.
see ya! good luck. and im look'n forward more updates!

i've never used a casing layer more then a quarter inch deep.
no need in it.
your substrate should be at a proper water content where your entire grow does not solely rely on your "casing' layer being wet, that's not what a casing layer is meant for, it's meant for a contam barrier, not hydro supply!

well i just chose an inch because 1 quart of casing is exactly an inch across the sub. surface. I've never had myc taking more than 4 days to engulf the casing. I guess irregardless.. it works either way

Looks pretty good I may have to try this I am currently using BRF cakes, then I case them in a 50/50 in aluminum turkey pans.. I am looking for something better though, and I can't really get poo around here.. Also if it matters I use a automated 4 tier greenhouse..

OMG, I was talking about a FC. WTF. I have no idea where I got that from...
Yeah, what he said. ^
I still stick with adding more bulk.

THIS is a tray in a fruiting chamber.
The tray takes up most of the bottom of the FC, only a little space around the edge. It's setting on perlite.

This was using about the same amount of sub as this grow. APpLes and OraNgeS
