Very fucken cool Una!!!
Please keep us updated on your progress.......
This is on my (really long)list of things to do(different, harder to acquire cacti though)......
anywho. Hehe, I was gonna ask the same thing as neuro but figured the request would be shot down With good reason though,..there is a lot of money to made on successful culture formula's ....plus all the time done experimenting and all.........thats alot to just give away

hehehehe yeah, MEA, then you insert the Cube spores into the mix and there you have a shroomocactus psychodelicus. =) very very cool UNA! could you guys please give us more good links on cactus tissue culture? should i treat them like any other plant then (regarding substrate)?

Of course the medium is not MEA.... That's for fungal growth not for plant growth (although malt extraxt is sometimes added to tissue culture media as an 'undefined' growth factor).
The cactus medium is based on Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts, sugar (sucrose), agar and growth regulators.
I've searched for many hours on the internet for info on TC of cactus but there's not much info out there. The link i posted earlier sums up (practically) all the info that is out there.
Whenever i have the time i will go visit the library of the Agricultural University in Wageningen because i'm sure that many scientific articles have been published about the subject that i can get my hands on there.
As for me not wanting to share the exaxt recipe; This is something we might want to take to a commerical scale (sometimes). In fact i studied horticulture for 4 years and i did my final thesis on the development of plant tissue culture protocols

I use malt extract for the growth of fungi, haven't used it for TC plants yet. Malt extract is regarded as complex organic supplement of which the effects are not completely understood.

Is it possible to do this without aureoles? Just tissue? 
Cloning Salvia that way looks like everything else than a productive method would

Very, very nice. I've always been fascinated by this sort of tissue culture. I love the way you can simply slice off a bit of something and it will grow into a whole new plant. Well, not quite that simple in practice... I love growing things, but feel more at home in the lab than in the garden, so this would be a perfect hobby for me!
Please, do keep us informed about your progress. How long did it take for the new shoots to form?
