 [Buying] I'm looking for a few warm/hot weather Shiitake strains to buy.

Hello all,
I wish to grow some Shiitake mushrooms but it's not much cold here. We have tropical climate. I plan to grow them indoors on hardwood saw dust. I can grow them on straw to if the strain demands. I prefer Night Velvet, Bulochka, Halo, Shiitake 75, etc. Basically any strain that can handle 80F.
Kindly let me know if you have any warm weather strain culture. I'm willing to buy from you. Thank you for reading.

Prints are not strains. You can take a print from a warm weather strain and use those spores and obtain a cold weather strain. The genetics you get from the spores of a warm weather strain will still be random.

Just do some work growing out several strains from the print you get and see if you can get any to fruit in warm weather, I'll bet you can.
Sorry I don't have a print, but it shouldn't be too hard to find one. They drop a lot of spores.
I caught a picture of them doing it once, you can see the spores whirling in the air to the right of the big mushroom.
(sorry it doesn't help, but it's cool)

Thank you so much for this information. I always thought warm weather shiitake will produce spores of the same genetics. I'll update my post right away and replace spore print to culture.

Thank you too for this information about spores and strains. Is there a guide where I can learn how to separate the strains from spores? I'm guessing this will involve agar plates and HEPA filter. That is not a problem for me.
Those shiitakes look really good. Yes, I can see those spores flying like a smoke. My oysters do the same thing. It's very wonderful to watch those sometimes.

This thread may be a good place to start, about cleaning and isolating strains on agar:
Stro's Cleaning and Isolation on agar
I believe it's geared towards cubensis but the concepts are mostly the same. Just ignore the parts about "rhizo" growth, as that's not what you need to look for.

No that's like saying two short people will always have short kids. The kids (spores) from a warm weather strain can be anything
