Cardboard!
    #5297826 - 02/14/06 01:08 AM (18 years, 6 days ago)

This stuff is pretty nifty.  So, I spawned (well, broke up some colonized grain and shoved it in) to some moist cardboard, no pasteurizing, just wet cardboard.  Now things are taking off pretty good and I'm wondering--can you fruit from cardboard?  I'm talking about reishi and black poplar here, though I'd be interested if anyone has done this with oysters.  I mean, I can get buttloads of free cardboard. :smirk: I'd rather recycle it with mushrooms than toss it in the compactor at the local recycling center. 

    Thanks.  :smile2:

take your cardboard and layer it inbetween some fresh ideally woodchips.. in a 5 gallon bucket.. experiment, there is much to learn from this

i too am working quite a bit w/ cardboard.. i have successfully taken slightly contam'd plates and transfered in the open air to cardboard and have had 100% success with it so far..

the trick is getting that cardboard to something we can fruit... outdoor beds are easy enough, but we'll have to see what else we can do

Cardboard rocks, I did the same thing with 1 inch squares of moist cardboard, then spawned Pink Oyster on WBS to that. Took off amazingly well, with no pasteurization and no contams either.

Fruiting is another thing though, I'd be interested if anyone has a workable fruiting setup for cardboard as well. Maybe stuff into a myco bag and punch a few holes?

hmm fruiting setups... ideally we could be using this to make some sort of oyster spawn to straw.. woodchips are easy enough, and i think a 2" layer of 50/50 sawdust/chips inbetween cardboard layers.. like a layer of cardboard, 2"mix of chips/dust, another layer of cardboard... may work well.. its possible we could do the same thing w/ chopped pasteurized straw.. 2" layer of straw, then cardboard.. an aggressive species could take care of that 2" pretty quickly, and a layer of cardboard on top would protect from contams.

ive found that plastic containers are essential for cardboard... i am using round discs cut to size for empty yogurt containers.. the larger ones, 1pint or 2quart.. small plastic containers of any sort would work as long as they seal shut.. i think for larger amounts cardboard in the size of whatever bin you had, layered, would work ok... ill take some pics of what im doing and post here..

it would be great to get people to experiment more with this to see if we can take it to the next level..
