I have nothing to do it with right now, I might on the second flush because theres 5 more pins, the viels are breaking on the 2 1in shrooms, I think I should dunk the cake for the second flush, the newspaper is drying out on the inside.

The bell curve of multi-spore culture Cubensis yield seems to be mostly between 200%-300% bio efficiency per grain
Going by this, if the grains you used were say 3g when dry, you may get one dry gram from it total. Maybe a tad more if the myc can take more than a tiny bit from the paper.
The way to realize yield is to make sure there's enough water, but I've learned that we can mostly figure potential yield by the grain used for the grow. However such numbers based on the use of "bulk" substrates turns out to be effectively meaningless and hasn't told me anything other than how little "bulk" subs contribute to the grow besides water. So especially the use of something like paper would almost be only as a water and fruiting medium for grains. Input more grains, output more fruits.

You can't go wrong listening to Violet. Has helped me out a lot by educating me and grounding me when my substrate ideas get all wacky. So what's your take on the paper for cellulose-digesting species Violet?
Hippie: When I had flushes coming in sporadically I would chop up the mushies and put them in a glass jar with lemon juice and distilled water until I had enough to make tea with. Just write down your fresh weight each time you add more mushies to the jar so you can figure out how much water to add when making the tea, and your dosages. I'd keep the jar in the fridge and shake it every time I opened the fridge.

I have Ps. Cyan and Subaeruginosa spores but haven't ever gotten past having them on agar since I've never had a spot to make a bed for them.
Either way around I don't figure paper to have nearly the capacity of wood. Since wood-eaters metabolism is fitted to woods I kindof think that wood may sortof seem as/more nutritious to them as/than grain. Hence Shiitake mutates in sawdust with much over 5-10% bran but doesn't mutate if it happens to pin on neglected grain spawn bags. So it seems to me that using paper for species that require wood only dilutes their substrate potential some as well.
My guess (a somewhat educated guess at best as I've not tried it with Oysters yet) is that paper would be most beneficial for species like Oysters that can fruit on most anything and have better results doing so than straight-grain.
