(Does NOT have to be atcc certified) Message-ID: I've been searching for sources of a 52066 (if that atcc number is still valid) Epidermophyton Floccossom culture, and I'm having a really tough time trying to locate sources. I have not had any problem with Trichophyton, as my present supplier stocks it. I'm also having difficulty in trying to post messages into newsgroups, and I've been corresponding with my isp on this issue. The server, appearantly is unable to send messages into bionet.mycology, however, it did appear to send messages for bionet.microbiology- but I have not seen them appear yet. This time I am trying sci.bio.microbiology and I shall see if this one works. Dale LAB@tdisp.com Cleveland Ohio Now as for my Internet service, all that the people could tell me was to recheck the settings within Microsoft Outlook Express, which I've done repeatedly. Now upon taking a closer look at some of the posts within Bionet.Mycology, it appears as though individuals are sending in their messages to one of various email addresses instead of simply using the "New Post" message button in the program. If someone could write back to me with more detailed information on how to use this newsgroup and how it differs from others, then please do that. My Internet customer service people have been of no use to me in this matter.

Most of the information is on mushrooms from Finland or East Asia; I've not been able to find any published information on ergocalciferol in North American mushrooms. I'm thinking of analyzing a bunch of them myself, and comparing fresh mushrooms with ones that have been sun dried (which should be enriched in vitamin D), but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Is anyone aware of any data? More generally, there appears to be a general lack of any kind of nutritional analysis of most wild mushrooms. I can't find anything at all on morels, for example. As far as I can tell, nutritional information on commercially sold wild mushroom packages seems just to be copied from analysis of A. bisporus or shiitake. Am I missing something? Finally, I thought I'd just throw this out there: the whole business of animal like substances in fungi interests me (animals possibly being, phylogenetically speaking, just highly modified fungi), and makes me wonder about what else might be in them. Do fungi produce any other 'animal' sterols (like testosterone or estrogen) or bioactive peptides like oxytocin?

Message-ID: <728fc2b5-356d-4b3e-8361-129a1140627c@y23g2000pre.googlegroups.com> Hey all, I have a green house on the NORTH side of my house that is about 35X14 feet. It has cinder block up about 3 feet, then metal frame with glass. There are vents in the cinder block, and the floor is gravel. Since it's on the north side of my house it's pretty much worthless unless you use the natural gas heating system it has. It was designed for commecial production of african violets, but I don't want to bother spending the money to get it runnning again. My thought was that I could remove all the glass and put a 60% shade cloth over the whole thing, maybe put in a watering system and grow shiitakes or other mushrooms. Has anyone had any experience in this sort of thing? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Seth
