The benefits of wood-rotting fungi

Michael Bush:
>metarhizium anisopliae

There was a lot of hype on this about ten years or more ago.  Don't hear much now.

Al Stein:
Yeah, Paul Stamets was trying to make metarhizium anisopliae into a treatment for the Varroa mite.
I'm guessing he wasn't able to get a patent, don't know.

I found a couple of mushroom companies that sell growing kits for most of these.
But, I didn't want to mention names because I don't want people to think I'm marketing.
This is all about the bees for me.

Al,
I don't want to eat them (I don't eat any mushrooms). I would just like to bee able to move some of them into my area to help my bees.

Acebird:
If the fungus grows on rotten wood then most likely you have it in your yard if you have rotten wood.

BeeMaster2:
I will check the roots of my River Birch trees.
