It's more suited for cloning wild mushrooms because cardboard is less hospitable to bacteria. However, once you get some health mycelium, you should still transfer that to sterilized agar to clean up from contaminants before using to inoculate grains.

I've seen it work, but I don't think you can use it "in place of agar".

It is, as the tek author points out, useful for a quick culture when you don't have time/materials to do a batch of agar.

One thing I would suggest is to make sure you don't cook the cardboard for too long--otherwise the corrugated ply will separate from the base--and you really want that wavy layer on there.

Good luck!
