Judi, you could activate will all sorts of stuff. My research, however, sho=
ws that the medical and other communities that grow soil fungi use Oatmeal =
products in the lab along with agar because oatmeal selects for soil fungi.=
 For what it is worth, corn meal was number two.

In addition, while it looks like you are only growing one type of fungi bec=
ause it looks uniform, these fungi look a like and you are most probably gr=
owing lots of kinds.

Cheers,

Jeff
