germinating cubensis spores on nutrified cardboard

Hey guys I was just browsing the shroomery and stumbled across a tek using beer soaked cardboard for germination. I was wondering if it would be possible to nutrify the cardboard with brown rice flower/water and sterilize in the microwave. Does anybody have any ideas if this would be possible and if it is, how should I go about doing this?

Don't see why it wouldn't. Maybe blender it all up then heat.

Nutrified cardboard works for germination but the problem is that contams can hide in the fibers which makes it risky to use mycelium grown on cardboard to inoculate a sterile medium such as grain. Cardboard nutrified with something starchy like brf/water is a good growth medium for germination but sterilization in a microwave is not sufficient.
Cardboard soaked in acidified corn syrup, malt extract, or honey can be sterilized by steaming and a microwave will work but hidden contams remain a problem.

try it with just plain boiled cardboard, the middle wavy part works the best. you will have less contamination if u leave the nutes out.

Cubes are not woodlovers. Germination on cardboard is dumb unless that's your only option like you live in india or with your parents and have no money.
Otherwise you germinate spores on agar.

true but it will work and if he had agar then that's the obvious choice use that, you can learn from growing them on cardboard. its free and doesnt contam easy its like practice agar for people and u can transfer cardboard with myc to agar and clean it up once you get ready to work with agar for real.
its all a learning experience

One of my friends did that once, I was amazed. He asked for a print one day, then a week and a half later he shows me an egg carton with ripped up cardboard inside with quite a bit of myc on it. Pretty cool, but he didn't get anywhere with it though 
I'm pretty sure he tried to plant it in some compost or something.
