She really does know her stuff, I've been following her since before she finished her PhD and went on to do her post-doc work at Oregon.
I arranged for her to come up and speak at our local club a few years ago, then a couple years after that I heard her speak at the Oregon Symposium and the things she had learned just in that time is amazing.

I even have a photo (and credit) in her book

Are you sure the photo is safe to look at?



I know I would like to get it for us to read but at that price it will take a while.

Sara is a fun woman to palaver with, and she knows her fungi.  Personally, I find there's plenty of "cultures" in any neglected pieces of wood which is kept relatively warm and moist.  Birch is a favorite, since the waterproof bark incubates the interior well.

FWIW, you want to periodically roll a log you're spalting to avoid mush on one side and pristine wood on the other.

I have a ~40' oak tree that fell last year. I've finally gotten around to cutting it up. The first 12' or so has spalt so its reasonable to assume the entire tree does.

I don't spault my own wood... 

But I have collected and dried a lot of it over the years cutting firewood, and use it in my boxes... have always liked the look.
