I've always thought of trying that. like whole rice grains not flour right?


They say BRF is extremely nutritious for mycelium

I had some old agar plates I was going to discard. For giggles I made some whole brown rice up.  It worked really well, colonized faster than the WBS I had inoculated the same day. The hard part was getting the moisture content right. One jar I put in still moist, like i would eat, the other i dried with a hair dryer. The dried rice deff worked better. The only  other downside was that they clumped together much more than wbs. if I were to do it again, I'd probably try and  add a little gypsum or verm  to see if it'd help keep them separated.

To deal with starchiness (stickiness) just make sure that you use plenty of extra water in the preparation. Like around 4 times the volume of the rice, at least.
Also, perhaps more importantly, you should raise the rice up to hydration with a slow and long simmer.
Rice is a great grain.  None are particularly more or less nutritious than others as far as it affects the end results - the main difference is in the density of that nutrition in the size of the grain and the resulting volume that the nutrition is spread out in.  So brown rice can pack a real yield punch per quart jars and in bulk subs.
