Sodium Polyacrylate

Just a thought, but has anyone ever used Sodium Polyacrylate in a substrate to help keep it hydrated? I've read about it being used in soils for better water retention before, and wondered if it would also work for myc growth.

also it looks as if it would do the opposite of what your trying to do as in keep the cake hydrated. this reads like Sodium Polyacrylate chains will bond with water molecules and keep them in and essentially not let the mycelium have any to use.
dunno though
I will do some more research.
