NSF Posted July 21, 2014 Does anyone happen to know if Macrocybe titans is in circulation ? I've got Macrocybe crassa/crassum/Tricholoma crassum. Is that what you are referring to? I haven't proven it but it comes from a reputable source. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted July 26, 2014 crassum/crassa would be cool. Good to see so many interesting cultures about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ethnopiate Posted September 7, 2014 Hey all, it's been a while, been perfecting my edibles method with tissue cultures from shop bought stock, learned and practiced agar tek and other stuff plus upgrading my microscope and am now looking for some prints to start making my hobby self sustaining, and give me the scope to share back in the very near future. Anything rare/exotic edibles wise would be greatly appreciated. As for microscopy, the form of the more potent spores interests me the most. ;-) Feel free to PM and I'll see what I can offer for trade as I have a fair collection of ethnobotanicals now, or donations hugely appreciated. I'll be sure to share the love once I am able. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronima Posted September 30, 2014 Hi I'm new here.. Don't have anything to trade as I'm just starting out.. But I'd be happy to buy plates of t. Versicolor , a. Blazii (himetasutake) or Grifola frondosa .. My main interest is in culinary and medicinals for personal use.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted September 30, 2014 I can send you some versicolor as in the actual mushroom if your interested. It grows everywhere where i live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronima Posted October 1, 2014 That would be cool.. Can I make agar culture out of dried specimens ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted October 1, 2014 Or i clone it. What ever you prefer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronima Posted October 1, 2014 Or i clone it. What ever you prefer I'd like to purchase cloned plates please.. This way (I think) I can keep in fridge if I seal the plates properly until I'm organised.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ethnopiate Posted October 1, 2014 I'd love some Reishi, Shitakke (Ganoderma lucidumis I believe), or Maitake. Even black poplar or loins mane would be great. If I do get my hands on some I can send plates out quite happily after first fruiting or even transfers (isolates?) of rhizomorphic mycelium for those that have it. . We shall see what spring a brings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallubrious Posted August 21, 2015 Has anyone got a viable culture of Hericium erinaceus (lions mane) in Australia ? Or if it's possible to get a print from something like that, maybe a US based member could help ? A new member here - ED is after it for its medicinal properties.

Bouche Posted August 24, 2015 Has anyone got a viable culture of Hericium erinaceus (lions mane) in Australia ? Or if it's possible to get a print from something like that, maybe a US based member could help ? A new member here - ED is after it for its medicinal properties. Hi, I'm new here, this is my first post. I actually started 5 agar cultures of Lion's Mane on the 21st at almost the same time or slightly before you posted looking for Lion's Mane. I am hoping to swap for some Agrocybe aegerita. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallubrious Posted August 24, 2015 G'day Bouche Welcome to the forum. I don't know if you can send and receive PM's yet, so I'll send a message to ED for you and link your post. You might be able to come to some mutually beneficial agreement. Serendipity is weaving it's web today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterboy 2.0 Posted July 21, 2016 Its a long shot....but if anyone has some shiitake plugs/dowels or sawdust spawn (preferred) about and spare would love you long time Also I think my reishi culture is done for looking at the slants (lol...stick is gone), If anyone has a decent culture would love to get my hands on some.

Bouche Posted July 22, 2016 It is not such a long shot, but maybe you could just chop up pieces of mushroom and use those for inoculating stumps etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mushfun Posted July 22, 2016 Aye WB, depends on how much of a rush you're in. I'm guessing you want the shiitake pretty soon, so probably no good for that one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Its all good knew it was a long shot, got to be prepared for these things. Dont get if dont ask.... I got a bit of wood......and wasnt ready for it I'll graze and bash the old stumps, do the same to the new ones and stack em. I got more faith in getting a start straight from active myc running out into new wood (the logs do bind, so theyshould will leap). If the old ones were fruiting though I'd be adding them into the mix. Lets call it an experiment, probably get overrun with "weed" fungi..... can always kill another tree...lol Be PMing you over the weekend mushfun to tee up a catchup for sure This week sucked running around...lol EDIT - big thanks to folks Edited September 24, 2016 by waterboy 2.0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleGuyMushrooms Posted January 3, 2017 Good morning Corroboree! I am a mushroom grower from the United States. Three years of growing experience, home built equipment, farmers markets and restaurants later I've started reaching for the less common mushrooms. All of my competition has access to the same mushroom sources as I do. Getting an edge over the competitors comes down to better equipment, better practices, more space and/or unique selection. I've sunk as much of my cash resources I can into my equipment, streamlined my procedure and used every space I have available to me to the best of my ability and resources, that leaves unique selection as my obvious choice, which is why I find myself begging for the kindness of Australian strangers! The Black Bolete, Aka Phlebopus Portentosus, Salmon Gum, etc etc. is apparently able to grow saprobically and is therefore a candidate for bag cultivation which has been achieved in Thailand and China but is still lagging here in the U.S. as far as commercial production goes. I'd like to collect some spore prints (or even live culture!) from this mushroom and attempt to develop it here in the states. I've been trying to acquire this from both Thailand and China - via web forums - and have had very little success. The language barrier - is a barrier. At least we (Australia and U.S.) share the same language and can easily discuss the matter without the aid of Google Translate. I am unfamiliar with Australia's import/export limitations, customs enforcement, etc, but I am willing to do trades, pay for the shipping, pay for the culture/print or whatever you may find reasonable (and legal) to get this mushroom in my collection. If you can help- if you know someone who can help, please let me know. here or by private message. Thank's for reading!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
