Using Metarhizium for termites
    #28325360 - 05/18/23 07:30 PM (8 months, 6 days ago)

Has anyone successfully tried to replicate Paul Stamets' method of cultivating a delayed-sporulation strain of Metarhizium for use as a mycopesticide? I'm pretty new to mycology, but I've been seeing some termites around my house and I want to experiment with it. A few unanswered questions I have:

How will I know when I have achieved a strain that has delayed sporulation?

How do I inoculate a petri dish with liquid culture? Just squirt it in there?

Does anyone know if this is a reputable site to buy the liquid culture? Or are there any others that you would recommend?

Here are some of the resources I've been using:

Paul Stamets explaining the method

Metarhizium anisopliae, Application to control plant insects

Mode of Infection of Metarhizium spp. Fungus and Their Potential as Biological Control Agents
