yep I still have a few

One of the tests I do when I get something is a starch test with iodine. It's basic, cheap and quick.

I'm keen for some, hope this works

I still have heaps left. I can do smaller amounts 20 seeds $5 includes postage or trades. They take about 2 - 3 weeks to sprout and have a high germination rate. pm me

got to be in it to win it!

For shittake I have used E.grandis, E,dunnii and E.acmenoides. The flooded and dunny worked the best for me. The white mahog didn't fruit that well in the first year but I hope it will do heaps better next season. For oysters I have used pencil cedar, and red ash both worked well but I only get a year or 2 out of a log. I plug mine as soon as possible sometime the same day I cut them down. I'm pretty lazy and never soak them or anything like that. I just lay them on the ground in forts, rafts or around garden beds. Then just wait till it rains at the right time of year. this picture is on dunnii

maybe not check out this book https://www.magabala.com/culture-and-history/dark-emu.html "Dark Emu argues for a reconsideration of the 'hunter-gatherer' tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians and attempts to rebut the colonial myths that have worked to justify dispossession. Accomplished author Bruce Pascoe provides compelling evidence from the diaries of early explorers that suggests that systems of food production and land management have been blatantly understated in modern retellings of early Aboriginal history, and that a new look at Australia’s past is required."

i also go my plants. super happy and healthy. Thanks heaps rahli, your the best!!

it's probably about 4 years old and been it the ground for the last 2. i think it's Cielo

i'm up for this. here the base of my best. also my favorite twisty bit.

pencil cedar logs inoculated with dowels about 5 months ago.

forgot to say cool comp.. i hope more peolpe post and i get to see some gems!

my friends are really shy and no way would go in a photo even know it from behind and all. it's just there style. it's all good they know they will come across some seeds one day.

these are not mine but a friends so not sure if it can be an offical entry....but they would love some horizontalis seeds..

i think this is a Ramaria spp. but not really sure which one. found in northern NSW near Nightcap national park at the base of an acacia melanoxylon.

you could do that if you like but if your grain is sterilised and you get contaminants it most likely from another vector. maybe the transfer tech but most likely from the liquid culture itself. you can do a streak test on some agar to check if your liquid is clean, or test it out on 1 or 2 jars first before you going crazy and inoculating bulk. also use h2o2 in the liquid to give you an anti-contaminant edge.

so I turned my back for a second and this guy busted through the micropore tape in the top of the spawn jar!

i think this is Ganoderma australe. it is really common in my area.

mine has been a bit slow over winter but the fish are getting move active now. in a few more week it should be warm enough to start feeding them heaps and it will all be cranking again

just had to add these giants!
