Plastic can only be PC'd if it has the pp5 recycling code on it.



Soda bottle probably won't be that kind of plastic.

You can reuse glass food jars from spaghetti, cheese dip, etc. Just know, those were made to be disposable so the seal on the lid won't last forever.

If getting h-poo from horse stalls, avoid wood chips. Boarders sometimes use cedar wood chips in horse stalls. You don't want that in your substrate.

Yes, cube mycelium can colonize cardboard.

ive been using sterilite ultra seal containers with my grains, the kind with the silicon ring on top and the latches, i have to put 4 3/8th holes with easy felt for ge, but overal i like them over jars, one 2.5 quart container takes up as much room in my pc as 5 pints would, so it doesnt really save space, but i like doing grain to grain transfers in them because i dont have to wipe down and open 5 jars, just one, and i suck at getting one jar of spawn evenly into ten jars of grain, i always en up spilling too much in one or two making them harder to shake...shaking with those larger bowls is also way easier, i feel like its easier on the spawn if you dont have to shake as long to evenly redistribute...

you have to be careful with the water level at the bottom of the pc with plastics however, if it steams most of it off before the cycle ends they can melt a bit...

some polycarbonate containers are autoclave safe too. they're code 7 for recycling but 7 is the miscellaneous category if you're lucky it will have the 7 and beneath it "PC" for poly-carbonate
