anyone willing to mail me tampons, id be happy to give it a try. i got some extra wbs layin around that my black poplars and miatakes just love.
also i was thinking about hydroponic mushrooms sorta after i wrote that bag thing...if you drenched the spawn with water everyday that would sorta be hydroponic....here's my revised version of that setup.
metal or tin baking pan with 1/8th or smaller holes drilled in bottom. add your wbs then a good inch or 2 or 3 of casing. water daily as you would a plant....make sure it drains well in your bathrub or w/e....the key for this to work would be good drainage....but i think if it did work it would be spawn on steroriods.....lots of fresh water and fresh air...yea to much water would be bad...but that can be adjusted....
hell to make it even more interesting would be to throw some seeds on the casing when they sprout they will help i think in many ways i would think in keeping the water content right in this setup.

yellow purhaps? but shouldn't you be able to see the growth on the sides of the jars? i think you would be able to tell if you looked closely.

soy ink eh? so here's my list (still doing a lot of research so things will change)
2 jar of brf verm as a comparison 2 jars of large, verm sized chunks of plain popped popcorn with brf 2 jars of pretty ground up pumice (hopefully not powedered though) w/ brf 1 jar of brf and pebbles 1 jar of brf and ????? 1 jar of brf and edible foam http://www.lard.net/packing.html 1 jar of brf and cotton 2 jars of brf and growool, cased with pure coir
In my research I have found 3 dangers in growing mushrooms 1) Vermiculite (putting it in mouth, having it on skin, or breathing in invisible particles has been deemed cancerous) I have found many experimental alternatives 2) Perlite (the dust, and i suppose eating it) I will still use perlite because I have it wetted down anyway, but if I come across any geolite, I'm buying that 3) Aluminum foil casing. There has been a small amount of debate over this one, but one things for sure, the mycelium absorbs the aluminum, and makes holes in the case. Alternative: Plastic.

are you just trying to keep contam out with this stuff dry or thinking like bigger mushrooms becasue of added water?
in my experience if you PC your jars...you don't need anything to keep contaim out. just had 11 jars out of 12 (edible) that didn't contam. the 12th shows no growth...think its missing some LC.
p.s. with just cotton balls you "might" have to pack it in there?? i have no guess as to which way would be better.

The ones i'm doing two jars on I think have the best chances, and I'm changing there water levels ever so slightly because after all the replacement for verm is all about how it handles the moisture in there, and the difference between a working and nonworking new method may be the water level.

That is sad. You know she's not doing that because she can't go get them herself, but rather to rob you of any shred of dignity you have left.
She's just trying to break you down to the point where you're not even a man anymore. It's not about the tampons, it's about robbing you of your last bit of self-respect.
Next time you're at the store why not just spank a $20 on her and tell HER to buy a case of tampons so that you never have to be humiliated like that again?
If I was working at the store I would give you so much shit! I'd be on the PA saying "Price check on tampax super absorbent, heavy flow tampons for the gentelman at checkout 3!" Next time you came in I'd also be asking you if you needed any tampons with your order. He he!
Seriously though, who would use tampons for growing? That's just stupid.
