Waxed and Glossed cardboard?
    #9690282 - 01/27/09 05:58 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

I am wondering if it is possible to recycle waxed or glossed cardboard into any mushroom substrates. What species can do this?

*Bump* Specifically I'm wondering if oysters or others may be useful to breakdown waxed boxes. Or if others do well of of waxed box subs.

I've grown on cardboard and paper, as has our member waxingren and others, but I've not experimented with waxed.  Intuitively, I'd say it's not viable, but give it a try on a small scale if you have some.  Be sure to let us know, one way or the other.

blasted, I supposes I'll have to experiment. Any ideas on species that I should try? What strains are cardboard lovers? Are there any you suspect would be able to breakdown wax?

Oysters, regular P. ostreatus is your best bet. It is known to be able to digest oils and other nasties. Keep in mind that this type of cardboard may contain toxic materials which may or may not be present in the fruit. Good luck!

Are straight cardboard subs nutrient deficient at all? Would I need or bennifit from any additives for P. Ostreous in this sub? For example if spent coffee grounds would help but not be required then I could recycle them as well at whatever ratio I could manage.

Straight cardboard is low on nitrogen. Coffee grounds would definitely increase yield, but you may run into problems with molds then.

ive not worked with waxed cardboard before. a friend of mine works in a grocery store, ive asked her to bring me some. I suspect lentinus tigrinus will have no trouble at all with it. I'll let you know how it goes. :smile:

that sounds interesting, is this mushroom tasty? I've never heard of it and it seems to be more difficult to find information on from Google or in TMC/GGMM. I assume if you've got some on hand you must be able to enlighten me on the matter. Oh and I'd love it if you got back to me about how your experiment goes afterward.

it is a mushroom i found at a local park and isolated.  It is very fast growing and full of vigor. Easiest mushroom ive ever grown. I sent a specimen to Workman to confirm the ID but i havent heard back from him yet.

on mulch
on phonebook


i find the taste to be great. fried with butter they taste like really good home made french fries. I throw some into soup or grind them up into some burger meat. adds a nice texture and flavor.

This mushroom will colonize a quart jar in less than a week. If you leave it any longer then it will solidify and you'll have to break the jar or knife it out. I've seen it overtake contaminations with no problem. 

I think this mushroom is an excellent candidate for the decomposing of ligneous material. I recently broke apart one of the mulch blocks i linked to above and it was near completely decomposed after only two flushes (it was allowed to dry out after the second flush) . it crumbled into nothing but fluffy mycelium. I'll update the old post soon with some pictures.
