Eikel Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Hi Guys, Was just wondering if anyone knows about spore or culture banks within Australia? I'm aware of the awesome funkyfungus site, however there are a few "exotic" species I'm after which aren't sold there. Specifically I want to obtain the following species: - Argocybe aegerita (Black Poplar). - Flammulina velutipes (Enokitake). - Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi). - Grifola frondosa (Maitake). - Morchella sp (Yellow or Black Morel, not fussed). If anyone knows where these species can be obtained either in spore or culture form (within Australia) please let me know. I'd also be interested in purchasing/trading these from any members willing to part with them. Edited May 2, 2006 by Eikel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

occidentalis Posted May 3, 2006 I have an agrocybe culture, bluemeanie sent it to me but I couldn't find any references to the species he said it was. I assumed he meant agaerita because that was the closest name I could find. The culture is in longterm storage, I'll see if I can revive it if anyone's interested.

naja naja Posted May 3, 2006 www.mushrooms.net.au I'd say these guy's would have access to the biggest variety of commercial cultures. But I couldn't find any info on the website, maybe it's in the members only section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
