That stuff looks really weird. I bet it would work, but some of those additives may be undesirable, and the way it has been processed into those little nuggets.

I had the same idea, only using 10-grain cereal. It doesen't look anything like that, though.. it isn't processed at all, besides being coarsly ground.

I made a pint cake just to see how it would work, and the mycelium really seemed to love it. It was very distinctly rhizomorphic all throughout the cake, it looked much different than a BRF cake.

It contains corn, rye, wheat, triticale, oats, barley, soy beans, brown rice, millet and flax seed.

I just made up some new jars yesterday, testing out some different cereal:verm ratios, and also a quart jar.. to see if it was shake-able. The first jar I made was a tad on the dry side.



That's what it looked like after comming out of the PC. That picture is misleading, because that is right after comming out of the PC. It looks very wet, but a few hours after that, almost all the visable moisture was gone, I guess it was redistributed throughout the substrate after sitting.

Here's a pic just before I birthed, dunked and cased yesterday.



It took 3 weeks to colonize, but I only injected a few drops of spore solution into 3 sites, since I was running low.

The yeast in your cereal will be killed by the PC, so that isn't something to worry about.

As for cost, I'm betting that it is very expensive, since it is a box-style cereal. The 10-grain I used was organic bulk, about 89cents/lb..

Good luck!
