casing = non-nutritious (vermiculte , spangum peat)


substrate = nutritious  (cow/horse poo , brf)

your substrate is what you spawn your spores or mycelium mass to, the food that allows the mushrooms to grow.

your casing has no nutrition, it is there to raise humidity and signal to the mycelium to start pinning.

basically, 1st you grow out the subsrate, 2nd, you cover the substrate with the casing, usually vermiculite and peat, maybe a little worm castings.

omg your avatar is gangsta.

Casing example: Dump colonized rye into a non-seethrough tray, that's your substrate. Make your substrate layer around 2-4 inches for grain. Put a thin layer of pasteurized, field capacity jiffy mix, or something similar- that's a casing layer. When the casing layer has mycellium on it, patch areas and put it into a fruiting chamber to recieve fresh air, and light. Shrooms.

If you need to, look up pasteurizing, casing layers, field capacity, setting pH, patching, and when to fruit casings. Once you know which substrate you're going to use, make sure you look up and learn a tek on it, follow that tek 100%. Any substrate will have numerous threads and teks for how to case it.
