With all those giant irregular chunks of cardboard floating around in there I'm surprised it's colonizing as well as it is. It seems like the mycelium would hit some spots of BRF and some spots of cardboard and colonize at really different speeds.
(On another note did anyone else think that it looked like head cheese?)

It will work to some level, although cardboard has very very very little nutes in it if any? It's mainly used as spawn or to clone outdoors. The brf should give it a nutritional boost but also incur the worry of contamination before your able to fruit.

As long as its not to wet, which the cardboard seems to be doing okay reabsorbing the moisture, thing should finish up.

If you get a 100% colonized cake you almost surely will get at least one flush, even if it may be poor.

This will not compare to Brf/verm pf tek but it will work to give you a few measly mushrooms.

Cubensis dont fruit off decaying trees or wood products well. Cardboard has been used as an agar substitute for starting spawn many times, and theres a tek for it in the FAQ. Mycelium and other molds will colonize it well, which is why its a bad idea to use cardboard in your fruiting chamber, because eventually you'll get mold. And its a bad idea to advise people to do so because they may get molds quicker then you as well.

@Brain
Thanks for the info, its almost done colonizing.
Would it be possible to dunk and roll it?

I think I'd recommend a dunk and roll too. Does this mean that you finally scored some vermiculite? :tongue: You should mix up some regular cakes too.

Curious to see if this turns out. Seems I remember reading an old post about a guy doing something similar. He was calling them "Pucks".

I would say that one is contaminated but should bite the bullet and gave it the old sniff test. :eek:

Looks fine to me. Smell it or birth it in an isolated FC if your worried. Looks totally normal to me though the discoloration is probably metabolites. If it smells sour/sweet that's not good but if it smells mushroomy then its fine I'm sure.

You will likely have problems with the sub drying out because of what it is made with, and because of how small it is. It might work best to try and fruit the cakes inside the jar with the lid off and a little verm sprinkled on top

It looks fine to me.
if you don't dunk and roll you blow the entire experiment :p
i think itll work but put off small fruits becasue the cardboard can't possibly hold as much water as verm.
thats my hypothesis.
good luck man thats neat

I opened it last night and gave it the smell test and it smelled like mushrooms to me so I dunked it and rolled it.
It was on foil, but I just put it back in the bowl.
They both were pretty damn wet when I popped em out though.

one has been dunked&rolled, the other just dunked (to experiment)

If I get anything close to a good yield, I'm definitely trying again.
With smaller cuts of cardboard(shredded?), maybe a larger jar, better ratio of brown rice.
Anyone have other ideas for a bigger better experiment?

maybe add more rice flour to soak up the extra moisture?

You could replace the cardboard with vermiculite! !

I'm bumping this because I plan to use this and there was no conclusive evidence as to whether this produced fruits or not
