finely shredded paper as a casing
    #5513659 - 04/13/06 08:32 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

will it work? i don't have the capacity to experiment, too much risk, just an idea, was wondering if it might work. also thinking i could i put substrate in a wet cardboard box, case, (then in FC) to help humidity up? maybe some silly experimental ideas just brainstorming. what is your opinions?

You ever shoot spit balls as a kid? (actually being an adult is no reason to stop either :smile: )  Well then you know how solid and matted down wet paper can become.  Not to mention a contamination risk.

Paper is organic and will provide a nutrient source for your mycelium and contaminates. Definitely not recommended.

I tried it only once with the shredded pulpmill bedding they sell at the pet stores. Green set in prior to first flush.
