worowa Posted March 12, 2013 So I managed to lose my amazing enoki culture during a move interstate. Amazing because it fruited on agar in the fridge and survived for a few years on the plate. This was the one and only culture I left for my partner to deal with, because enoki never excited me, but she really wanted it... Anyhow, a neighbor has a big gorse problem, and has asked me to help. Apparently enoki grows on gorse in Scotland. Happy to trade...I've got Ganodermas (Reishis), Pleurotus eryngii (King Oysters), Hypholoma sublateritium (Chestnuts), Milkies (Calocybe indica), plus a few others. I've also found a wood blewit (Lepista nuda) patch, and a Birch Bolete (Leccinum sp.) patch, which I'm trying to isolate pure cultures from. Also happy to clone or propagate material for others-I've got a good set up now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
altenate Posted March 12, 2013 No worries. Shall pm you. Think I have a couple of slants. One I just found appears to be fruiting in the fridge..... Interesting about the gorse! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted March 12, 2013 intrigued....gorse is a fecker of a weed. I know a bloke experimenting with extracting the oil from it for biodiesel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worowa Posted March 12, 2013 Hmm, I wonder what is left after the oil is extracted for Biodiesel? If it's steam distilled, the left overs could be ideal for shrooms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted March 12, 2013 The consideration for the "waste" I think was for potting mix/soil amendment/compost fodder, but substrate is very good thinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
