Uncommon Question about Leaf Litter
    #18835253 - 09/13/13 12:42 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I spent a few minutes doing some searching, not expecting much to satisfy my inquiry..

I plan on building a paludarium this fall and am interested in introducing some undetermined myco-species.

whatever i put in there, i want it to be natural to what might be in reality. i to put in some leaf litter that would eventually decompose into the substrate of my paludarium and provide nutrients to some plants (along with all the other stuff i need to add)..

My question is, could i inoculate some leaf litter before i put it in the paludarium? Would i just pasteurize/sterilize the leaf litter at field capacity?

any help from anyone who has a good idea about this kind of thing would be great.

Thanks, as usual!

That thing the paludarium is awesome.  Id like to make one for a snake habitat.  Im gonna check it out some more in a little bit.

Leaf litter though? I think you would be better to inoculate woodchips to use instead of leaf.(Pot leaf? :lol:)  If you wanted to use leaf litter you would pasteurize and then inoculate at field.  Like I said though depending on species wood chips would be way better.

Cardboard could be a good option too. Most mush mush rips through that.

yeah i figured i'd have to pasteurize the leaves. I just cant imagine that getting to field capacity will be a fun experience. I'm curious if its even necessary. I just grew some mushrooms on unpasteurized substrate, and i'm also trying to replicate a natural environment, i just wanna give it a few inoculation points to start at.

cardboard sounds like the best unnatural ocuring alternative. I may consider it. After all, it will be fully decomposed, wont it? :smile:
