shrimp of the woods!

hi i plan on obtaining Entoloma abortivum and Armillaria mellea to create aborted entoloma (shrimp of the woods) i would like to spawn the entoloma on rye and then transplant to a monotub of sawdust. then i am going to spawn armillaria on rye and transplant the rye to the monotub
hopefully the armillaria attacks the fruits of the entoloma and forms some nice shrimp mushrooms to be cooked in a scampi!
anyone else have a good idea about what i should do? any input on this process would be great!
i wonder; what if i made a rye jar of armillaria spawn and a jar of entoloma spawn rye,,, and mixed the two spawns together and then placed them in jars with dowels to create dowel plugs? do you think the shrimp of the woods will spawn from the dowels??
input people! please! i am excited to experiment with a parasitic hybrid its so cool to think i might be able to cultivate it.

i am forumlating an experiment.
theory: the honey mushroom parasites the entoloma if the entoloma is established first.
thesis: the enoloma parasites the honey mushroom if the honey mushroom is established first
hypothesis: if i have one master jar of each i can establish each colony of mycellium and then introduce the opposing fungal parasite.
when they fruit i will be able to observe the tissues of the aborted entolomas and say for certain in both circumstances which tissue is the parasite

thanks; i am searching for samples of the entoloma and the honey mushroom. so far i have only found samples at the florida mycology research center and i called them and they said they do not have any in stock.. if you are out in the woods and you find a honey mushroom or entoloma abortivum please let me know! i have chicken of the woods and reishi to trade for them

i am currently trying to spawn reishi and l. sulphurous on agar; i am getting more plates next week, the reishi and chicken of the woods (l sulphurous) will not be ready to make a wedge for some time, but if you would like to send me the A. mallea honey mushroom i can pm you my address, if you send me a wedge, when successful with adgar spawning i will promise you a wedge of either reishi or chicken of the woods.
i appreciate your offer and interest in this experiment!

Please don't send any to the pacific northwest. The thing is a parasite and I've been to numerous forests infected with the blight it causes. If you can do this on a controlled environment it could be an interesting study but I hope you're careful about it. Why do you want to grow this so badly?

good to know! no im in new york they grow around here every year.
they are delisious and it would be cool to study the tissues of the mushroom and their growth.
tell me more about their blight i might not want to cultivate them if they are a big problem.
