Shamanistic Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Cardboard isn't bulk as such. You use cardboard to grow a culture to a nice size (surface area) and then inoculate a more nutritious spawn/bulk with that cardboard. So basically you cannot use it as a brf cake. Maybe if you add nutrients to the cardboard it would work better? I also think that would increase the risk of contams and therefore defeats the purpose of using cardboard in the first place. I could be wrong though. The less nutrients in your mushrooms the less nutrients they give you, oysters taste MUCH better with a high nutrient content.

Bigred Posted August 30, 2012 you do ad poo coir i just saw a tek on myctopia that uses pasteurized cardboard and coir poo etc the cardboard is like the glue that holds it all together and they say its highly contam resistant. The guy who posted it say he has had no contams yet and he does not use a pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
