Wow Grod, That is extremely interesting. Papaya is well documented as being natures "perfect" fruit. That, of course, is concerning the nutritional value of the fleshy edible part, but I'm interested as hell! I would think that you would want to thoroughly dry the seeds first, then re-hydrate them. My grandma used to save the seeds to plant them and I remember them being like little rocks when they were dry. So I would recommend them being that dry before soaking them. That's just my idea, (on my way to buy papayas)

Yep ..... round grayish black seeds ..... we used to have three big papaya trees in the backyard (Oahu) and there were always papaya to eat ....
As far as ratios .... I am assuming you would use them in your bulk substrate ? I would use the 'balanced diet' approach .... mix them with coir, hpoo, coffee grounds, grain spawn .... whatever strikes your fancy.
Using papaya seeds as spawn ? Hummmm ? Interesting ... seems to work based on that photo...

That would be my first approach, yes, just like Wbs. Although, I'm not sure if that little sack would just absorb the water. If so, that would be too much water. This is totally new to me! You've sparked an interest. At this point, it's all experimentation.
