Ancient Posted June 22, 2019 I saw this article a couple of months ago on the ABC news site. I thought some might find it interesting: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-29/growing-glowing-ghost-mushrooms-at-home/11048958 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freakosystem Posted June 22, 2019 "You can buy spores or mycelium [the bacterial colony of a fungus], but if you want to do it organically, you need to find a ghost mushroom and create a spore print," Ms Thomas said. Oh no! Somebody didn't learn their kingdoms of life... Has anybody successfully fruited Omohalotus nidiformis? A friend had a good culture going and innoculated many logs as well as filter patch bags as per the morphologically similar Pluerotus species and whilst the mycelium was very aggressive, they never fruited.

Same same. Though there might be one here trying to fruit on the agar plate ( could also be contam, discolouration from inoculation point tho and never seen this particular effect before ) Will post if it does fruit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solipsis Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah i have friends who have already grown them, i haven't had a chance yet but do have cultures of Omphalotus nidiformis and Panellus stipticus. Great for time lapse photography, but often it can be kinda faint to really enjoy with the naked eye. Still incredible tho! I wonder whether LC works.. for one of those species no i think it's just the gills that luminesce. Edited July 14, 2019 by Solipsis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LC of Panellus doesn't glow IME, but I did only try it in one media. Other media could work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squidgygoanna Posted July 17, 2019 Got a culture of this in my fridge but I haven't had the time to try and grow it. Might do that this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eem Posted July 19, 2019 Would anyone be willing to sell or trade a Panellus culture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
