Cordyceps Unilateralis Culture?

Ok so there aren't really many posts about this culure or it's growth parameters. I did find some outside shroomery sources on it but, I was none that did not involve the "new" research about it's parasitic activities in ants. Either way I was wondering if anyone knew much about this culture. I know it's specific to thailand, brazil, and somewhere in Asia (excuse the ignorant "somewhere").
Right now I don't have the space to do any real research but, in the next 6 mos or so I am hoping to be back on my feet and running again. With that in mind, I want to gather as much info on this as possible. I also am trying to obtain a culture from a couple of the researchers in this feild however, I am not sure if they would be willing to send one out. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough online to find a culture (as I'm pretty sure John Holiday has worked with this species before so, Aloha must have a culture or a million laying around). If this doesn't belong in the advanced forum mods please move it to where it goes. I am really interested in the parasitic activity of this fungus so If anyone has studied it here more in depth than a google search would come up with, hit me up.
Culture in question: Cordyceps Unilateralis

But then, just as quickly as it comes, it has left without warning. The lingering feeling of knowing, even for a second, what others are rarely open to leaves us thankful to have experienced it. Out of this comes a whole new look on life, ourselves, and others. The real human experience changes us forever. Even if all we catch is a glimps of it, to know it is there puts peace in our hearts and love toward our fellow man." My Journal Entry

Does it have to be the Unilateralis ? I have foiund cordyceps almost every time i go hunting, could perhaps obtain some spores in the next few months.

No. No, man. Shit, no man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' somethin' like that man.

Well, I will always take cordycep spores as they are def of interest. The unilateralis is of specific interest because of it's parasitic actions. I would love to start studying cordyceps in general though. Lemme know what types you run across. I have a hard time finding them here in the east.

i have seen it at least 50 times. Maybe the areas I'm hunting are prone to it though, so IDK. However I am ONLY talking about the version that grows out of bugs, primarily ants. i may just have to shp you a tissue sample, si it doesnt look like a normal mushroom and may not be subjected to a normal spore printing process the same way.

A tissue sample would be great! Ill culture it out do multiple dishes so I can save some until I learn 100% how to collect spores from it. That is the one I am looking for actually haha.

horrible first post, maybe you should stick around and get to know people before asking for cultures

wow, really? I didn't know there was a set of rules. A friend of mine told me about this place, said it was THE BEST place to get information and learn about things. I guess that only applies if you have whatever secret knock I don't have. Sorry if I have offended, wasn't my intent at all - was really excited to see the C. Uni strain - can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for your response!

We had a huge problem with people asking for freebies, so last year we were forced to ban the practice. It's considered bad form. In the mushroom cultivation forum, there's a sticky thread explaining the rule. We have a marketplace forum for buying, selling and trading items. 90 days after registering, you'll have full access to that forum. RR

It's not a secret knock, it's a matter of bringing something to the table. Maybe offer up a culture from your library here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1299869
Offer some trades in the marketplace. Build some rapport among the members. Discuss some thoughts and ideas you are concerned with. Lend a hand if you can.
Welcome to the boards!

i apologize - I feel like an ass! the only cultures I have currently are shiitake, P. Eryngii, and F. velutipes - everything else is already planted in the yard.
Thank you for your indulgence and education, it is appreciated. I will come back once I have something rare to trade.

If you plan on importing spores or cultures of entomopathogenic fungi you will need a permit from the USDA or an equivalent government source.
If you plan on doing "experiments" with this you will have to do it under lab conditions and labs dealing with extreme quarantine.
I did work with Dmonkey1 under these conditions and trust me, even with our lab the permits were still a bitch to obtain. but if C. Unilateralis is 'native' you shouldn't have any legal problems finding a culture

I find that hard to believe, since selling dried Cordyceps distributes spores.
I think most governments have a bigger problem with plant pathogen fungi.

those species are already/now native to the US or have been approved for import. Most governments don't have departments of regulation
