Does anyone know of availability please?

Has anyone a good process for germinating these seeds please?
-
I have some viable seeds if anyone is interested. Express postage from Darwin is about $15.

Hi Rhyzobium, Buttsack said you may be able to trade or sell A. courtii seeds? I will have some P.viridus seeds soon and have just picked some M. speciosa which are viable as I have obtained young plants before but the died at about 3 cm stage. I am not sure how they would go in Tasmania though? kKeep growing, john S

Many thanks for the detailed instructions. They look like they should work. The temp and humidity are both high here at the moment so I will try without heat mat first. I have managed to get the seeds out while they are formed but still slightly green. Thanks for passing this on.

I have been trying to germinate the seeds but with only minimal success. Do you mind sharing how you get yours to start please? The only time I have succeeded is when I threw a handful of pods into soil and about 3 germinated. I have been watching them on damp paper but have seen no change. Do you treat your in any way?

Hi People, Has anyone had success in germinating seeds from this species. I have got about 3 plants to germinate by plating many whole seed pods in potting spoil and keeping it damp. That's less than 1%success rate and the plantlets died after two months. I have placed separated seeds on dampened paper and watched them but no signs of germination is evident. I am going to try heating, flame, H2O2, acid and abrasion. Has anyone else tried these methods please? I have some spare seeds if anyone is after some. Mine is the green variety and to me seems only chemically active when flowering or in rapid growth periods. john S

Many thanks for the clear response. I just prepared some agar from a health food shop boiled with water - nothing else. I will try H2O2 as suggested in the mix next go. Mine have started to grow but are moving very slowly after 2 weeks. Maybe I 'm used to rapid growth in the tropics.

I am starting out with shroom growing. I see a lot of recipes for agar. I have mycelium growing in straight agar. Should I use a mix? When peroxide is used is that just for sterilizing or is it included in the agar mix. sorry to be so ignorant. john S / Nimshie29

I was advised you may be the one to contact for A.courtii seeds. I did a plant swap with Xperiment and he has no seeds yet. Can you supply or suggest please. I am also after A.confusa/

Many thanks - looks like good for a try.
