Yay! It's ALIIIVE! I hope this turns into full fledged mushrooms. It would be interesting if they did grow up. Maybe you could do a supplemental nutrition source within the newspaper balls next time. You would have to PC then, but it would be worth the fast colonization from the looks of things.

I only put half a tablespoon of coffee in it, so I didn't expect much but i'll be happy with 3 mushies. I'm going to get a PC soon, I keep getting contaminated spawn bags but hey, this came from a salvaged spawn bag.

cool little experiment man. I tried a cellulose grow once. colonized great. but never knotted up. wonder if you could late case with some field capacity verm, to get more from that tek? good luck there...

damn that's a tough one man. so no grain at all there? just mycelium to cellulose? you should put some of those rhyzomorphs to pda. bet that baby would rip through some sub with a quickness.

I guess that's MS for you, two different genetics, I was hoping to get a good trip from the first mushies I grew but from the looks of it i'll barely get a .5 dry

Well, at least you now the biological efficiency (BE) isn't good on straight newspaper. But you know it will colonize well and even fruit on it, so using newspaper with some manure or coir would be a good way to increase substrate mass. Since newspaper doesn't need pasteurized you can pasteurize a few quarts of traditional substrate and add it to hydrated newspaper before spawning. From what I've watched, and how I did my newspaper test for edibles (still on-going), you just dip the shredded paper in water then strain it good before spawning. I used myc from an old straw block, fresh grain spawn, and dowel spawn of varying edible species to test out the best way to spawn newspaper for edible grows. So far its grain spawn in the lead, followed shortly behind by the dowels. The older straw myc doesn't seem to be near as quick, but I have fruited it 3 times already before breaking it up to spawn the paper. I spawned a couple mini-tubs of P. alleni to newspaper for SWIM to keep at his house to test them as well. Used colonized wood chip to spawn it. Seems to be colonizing well, from what he says.
