They are also selling spalting cultures and I really hope we can get some in the future but not the color ones

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
Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that's more accident then design.

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.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

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.

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.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man -
By the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
