Layering is the lay way of casing. You don't want to layer if you want the full potential of your substrate, you want to case. Kervork is right in one sense, real men use bulk substrates (I like straw), but even though you don't NEED to case compost, you should, as you should case straw or any other substrate, even your colonized grain.
