Shame. I just learned of this off a quick Google search, went through the whole thread. Got to :

Best whishes
...saw the timestamp was a few minutes ago (for being such an old thread this was surprising!) and was promptly let down. Posting here so I can come back later and see if anything changed.
This is some interesting stuff. Thanks for the effort thus far!

Nothing is going to change unless we turn up the heat on these scientists. Start bugging them for cultures.

Alan I'm just not sure exactly what to say, not exactly being a well known voice in the scientific community I don't know how to be taken seriously. I believe someone put it eloquently a bit further up the chain by saying 'Hi I'm from the magic mushroom growing website and Alan said it was cool to ask for a culture'. I don't think that would go over too well. Perhaps a basic, formal template others could use would help us drive the demand for a culture to be sent out for some community driven research. Anyone have any experience asking scientists for cultures?

Probably need to make friends with them....preferably in person. Certainly someone here must have some friends at Yale?

I'd kick in $20. We could crowdsource this. If I get it I will make a whole lot of petri dishes and send it out to anyone that asked.

I wanted to do something similar with a Ganoderma they have, but after reading their terms of service it seems that thing would be highly frowned upon. I am still a little confused by it.

Posted on the Magic Mushrooms Growing forum, where we stick to the rules and are all law abiding citizens:P
I'm surprised it's available! I'd toss in $20 for the cause.

On the ATCC website this one is designated Biosafety level 1 which is the lowest in their classification system, meaning at least that it is not dangerous for humans I am unsure though if their rating system takes environmental impacts into consideration. Probably not.

No. It's pretty common in nature, just really hard to see.

Great! Just Pay, get freeze dried mycelium and start growing?
Never growed freeze dried mycelium ... but should be possible.

It says that there will be reduced viability... but it is alive.

Many species appear to be truly cosmopolitan, as Alan said above it is pretty common. I know absolutely nothing about the species though, I just happened to know of a website that has hard to find species in culture form.

I took the initiative and created an IndieGoGo gig to "be the change I want to see in the world."
We could sit here talking about it, or we can be about it!
http://igg.me/at/chowdownonplastic/ is the link, feel free to share!
Alan, I'd like to make you a contributor to the cause if you are interested shoot me a message.
I will be tossing $20 towards the cause next Monday.
Anyone who gives $20 or more will receive a sample of this culture once it has been expanded.
Thanks everyone, let the good vibes flow

what about going into the rainforest and isolating a culture of one's own. On second thought after reading this Link it looks fairly complicated...

Yeah - best to just let it be then right? Wrong! Just because it might be hard, doesn't mean it shouldn't be studied does it?
I don't claim to have the knowledge to do anything besides experiment with different substrates/agar mediums...but I do know how to get shit done, if we actually get a culture of this circulating surely we'll know more about this than if we don't?
If my check hits tomorrow I'll be tossing some funds to the Crowd Funding campaign on IndieGoGo I had posted.
60 days is what we've got. If anyone wants to donate any spore prints/LC to give out as incentive to donate, I'd be open to it. I'm currently growing out a bunch of stuff on agar, but I don't have the quantities to promise to anyone currently.
Peace, love and good vibes!

somehow I missed this post about the indiegogo. So what will you do if you only meet part of the goal?
