Edible Cultures Available In Australia

[synchromesh]

Clitocybe infundibuliformis is a nice one. It tastes like a tart and can be found in the South East.

Hi guys,

I truly am a novice in cultivating mushrooms but am keen to give it a go. I mounded layers of manure, straw and decaying wood

under some trees near a tank so I can water the area and was wondering what would be a good starter that isn't terribly difficult

to inocculate the mound with, obviously it's non-sterile and it will probably have a hot dry summer to cope with. Is there anything you suggest

and can someone supply me with that species, live culture? I am willing and can pay in a fortnight for the culture.

Thanks

Sola

Anyone got a good producing Yellow Oyster?

Had a plate shipped to me ages ago in a trade, but every single transfer to grain gives me a contaminated jar even though the plate looks clean.

[shortly]

I'm still waiting for the F###ing plates I ordered & paid for 3 weeks ago

[mescalito]

Does anyone know if there is a way to get Inonotus obliquus in Aus? Just book reading up on edibles/medicinals today and they look like a unique challenge.

That site is Australian, It replaced the funkyfungus site run by old Member 'REV' that used to be here. he is now over at EA under a different name. Many of the cultures doing the rounds in Australia would have come from REV.

I've got P. pulmonarius var. sajor-caju Punkin, but others should have it now too. Once I'm back I'll have plenty more to contribute to this thread.

[Hyphal]

Don't rush your journey though tripsis! Wish I was still away...

Yes thanks Tripsis, i do have one being lovingly tended into life for me atm and should be playing with it soon.

Hope you bring back many new cultures.

[tripsis]

Thanks Hyphal, I'm not rushing, but I do have a set return date, made all the more concrete by having another flight two weeks after getting back, going to NZ. Your journey was epic though, must have been a year a half all up?

No worries Punkin, hope you get some good grows out it.

Have had enquiries after reishi spawn. Anyone got a culture ready to go they're willing to trade or share?

[shortly]

Does anyone here happen to have Agaricus blazei going?

Oh and your plates are comming along nicely Punkin, should be ready to rock n roll by early next week.

I will be pouring lotz more plates over the next several days if anyones chasing edible or medicinals me drop me a line.

[yaguareté]
