Are any of these mushroom species which you're considering having a giveaway/trade frost tolerant?

[FewTrueSeed]

Both species mentioned so far will survive below zero winters.    Reishi and Wine Cap Stropharia.

A lot of what I have (and I'm assuming Tragicfalacygtr2 have) are frost tolerant. Most that I've run across are. Fungal dormancy is often times initiated by lower temperatures than it would take to fruit or colonize. There are a few that come to mind that would simply die in low temperatures, pluerotus djamor, agaricus blazei murril, and volvariella volvacea. I have none at the time, just an example of common cultivated edibles.

A lot of production facilities store their cultures or colonized substrate in coolers or fridges, and hobbyists do too. The cold intolerant species may be stored at room temperature in culture or sterile distilled water.

I have tried to fruit volvariella volvacea five or o times now. No luck. Won't fruit below 70° dies below 40°. My favorite tasting mushroom.

If anyone wants G. tsugae spoes PM me. It'll take some serious "cleaning up" work as they were collected in the field. They grow well on douglas fir.

Looks closer to ganoderma oregonense to me.  . Tsugae grows on hemlock up here.

David Arora said it was tsugae. I have no idea tho. I sent a tissue culture to a dude in Michigan that's currently DNA sequencing all the Gannoderma he can get his hands on. He seemed to think it was a tsugae because of the location and tree.

If you feel like contacting the DNA sequencing guy, he's Matt Schnick on Facebook. He's always interested in samples, fresh and dried at low heat.

If David aurora says it's tsugae then it is.

I run into various reishi mushrooms growing wild down here in FL. If I were to collect a wild fresh one would anybody be down to attempt to grow them? Or send them off for analysis? If so I'll gather them for y'all when I run into some again.

Been getting a few of these blue bruisers recently from cow and horse manure I relocated to my yard. Its been exciting!

Heya Mad Planter,

If you could take photos of the reishis first, that'd be awesome.

One time I found this crazy pink ganoderma. I have a pic of it I can post sometime today.

[MadPlanter]

Here's the pink guy.

Whoa. Growing on hardwood? If so I would love a sample. Feel free to post any mushroom pics on the thread http://Http://sharetheseeds.me/forum/index.php?topic=2966.0
