Default Re: Vermicompost and vermicomposting

I've stacked a lot of cardboard on my pile, and put corn, coffee grinds, and winter wheat in between the layers. Much of the grain has trichoderma, penicillin, yellow slime mold, yeast, and cobweb mold. I inoculated it with oyster mushroom mycelium, and it's taking off. The worms have move into all of the new substrate, and may very well take care of the contams, but not the slime mold.

I know that the oyster mushroom is omnivorous, and ensnares nematodes and small soil insects. I wonder if it's capable of trapping newly hatched earthworms?
