Beneficial (?) fungus in D. pseudoobscura collection

[Lisa Megna]

: For obscura group species, which use many non-fermenting 
: substrates, substrates without microorganisms or those 
: with mainly S.c. are very poor food sources indeed.  Your 
: pseudoobscura are probably very happy to have the mould !  A 
: similar phenomenon has been documented for D. immigrans 
: (Atkinson 1983 i think).

Do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations on what one could
feed members of the obscura group other than yeast?  My lab mates get
a bit annoyed when they see me with moldy bottles, though I have
also noted this phenomenon for the obscura group and D. buscki.
