Cubes on Bastardized WL Tek (paper) 1

I had some extra enriched paper left over from another project and about an eighth cup of cube rye spawn and decided to see what would happen. It was inoculated on 10/12 and was shaken once about 2 weeks ago. Growth has been slow but surprisingly, it is growing. Initially, it appeared that the mycelium was surviving on the nutrients left in the spawn but it now seems to be running through the paper and looks to be knotting on top.
200 ml H2O 100 g paper 7.5ml Age Old Grow 12-6-6 This recipe made 2 quarts and was PC'd for 90min (I was making rye jars so figured WTH).

If you want some extra cubiness throw in some calcium carbonate. Cut it down the middle and tell us what colour it is inside.
Money says very dark, near enough black.
Good luck, from Ferather

I have updated and split my old WL tek into two new teks. The T-Tek and the TGF Tek. Not sure how cubensis will handle tea but so far, an amazing additive.
Currently I am experimenting with starch free T-Gel (Like agar). The T-Gel does not require pressure cooking.
Thanks again Mycolorado.

Wood Lovers tek is what it stands for if I'm not mistaken. Essentially just mixing plant food into substrate.

hmm... that makes no sense at all to me. wood lovers means species that grow on wood.  a WL tek IMO would be a tek on how to grow wood lovers... not adding plant food to paper?

Hahaha, now you have twisted your self. Paper is made from wood fiber, so he is adding plant food to paper. He is also adding plant food to wood fiber, hence the wood lover. See how they are the same.
His cubensis has digested enriched paper, and has fruiting potential. So now his cubensis is a wood lover too. Funny stuff.

eeeh... no 
havent you seen RRs hat/bra/bibel pics? that doesnt mean he made cubes a cotton/polyester lover  its basically feeding off the grain spawn. just like when myc grow up the tub walls, you dont have a plastic loving cube.

I realize that, the same goes for vermiculite, try fertilizing that with plant food and fruit from it. Not going to happen, doubt it would even colonize, but paper does, and fruits too.
The answer is yes it will eat paper and wood, not saying its the best. But see how the potential changed due to an additive.

But as I just pointed out it worked just fine for RR without the fertilizers.
if you wanna really put this to the test make a fert agar and germinate spores on it. or keep transfering myc from a normal agar recipe plate onto fert agar and see how it fares after x amount of transfers.

Have you fruited cubes from nothing but ferts and paper? I can't see you pulling much yield from that.

I agree there may be little or no potential for cubes on paper. I think this is just a side test made from leftovers. Side-by-side with and without plant fertilizer. Normal tek, and the same spawn and amount used.
Or whatever setup is best for side by side, maybe agar.
