Looking for mushroom spores or spawn. Any kind that is edible (Button, Portabella, Shitake, Oyster, Chicken of the woods, morrel, etc). Do not have any seeds to trade so you will have to wait for some seeds, or accept a SASE. NOTE: mushroom spores MUST be from a reputable source (one still in the manufacturer's envelope would be nice), just so that we do not end up killing ourselves with poisonous mushrooms :). Thanks! ~Shawn

Fungi Perfecti, in Olympia, has mushroom spawn. I wasn't able to find Shitake on their site, specifically, but you could probably contact them to see if they know a source. Their website is www.fungi.com

Have you thought about moving them? When I was a kid, we used to capture frog eggs and put them in a jar and watch them grow from tadpoles into frogs. It's fairly easy to do. They don't all survive, of course, but it was very interesting. You could just move them to a container of water outside and put it in the shade.

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone in the Annapolis area or nearby with a pond who might have some frog spawn soon? I have three kids and would love for them to see developing frogs. I don't want to buy online because I've read about the dangers of introducing bullfrogs etc. who then eat all the native frogs. Thanks! Sandra
