Would anyone be interested in trading Gourmet mushroom strains?
I have a rather nice Enokie I isolated that keeps trying to get out of it's petri dish,some wild shaggy mane and a few others.
I would really like to get my hands on a Lepista Nuda(Wood Blewit)

I can't help you out with the Lepista, but I have a couple wild prints of H. capnoides. I'd love an enokie wedge, or print.

Disregard my request for the Enoki, I found fresh ones for sale at the supermarket the other day. I'll look for a bunch with a solid enough base to get some clean tissue out of the middle to start my culture.

[peterthinks]

split the mushroom (not cut) and take a piece from the part where the cap meets the stem...not the base.

[cultured1]

thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll look for a bunch with bigger caps.

[peterthinks]

it can be from the stem too...it's just that they are so damn thin and leggy.

[cultured1]

The caps are so tiny too, some of the ones I saw at the market had bigger caps than others. I guess I'll just try to find whatever looks the meatiest, cap or base. I just plated some oyster tissue yesterday, I have to make more agar before I work with the enokis.
