Lignin for Wood loving Mushrooms
      08/24/07 01:20 PM

I'm no master chemist or scientist but I do have a good hand at organic and inorganic chemistry. But primarily I know wood loving mushrooms usually decompose lignin (in fact they love it, check wikipedia which proves what I remember) into the chemicals they naturally produce or maybe its just for the structure. But primarily what I wanted to know is...

Would a mixture of sawdust,cardboard(cut or ripped into tiny equal chunks), alder chips, and lignin would create a perfect substrate for the mushrooms or do you think its a waste of time even to add extra ingredients.

Im just asking this question in thought that maybe if the substrate was enriched with lignin that mycelium might be easier to cultivate (quicker, stronger, prettier mycelium) added that lignin is acting as a pure nutrient.

Any input would be great, if you think this might actually be possible I recently came across a Psi. Cyanescens spore print and might give it a shot.
