aciddeath: thanks for the pat on the back but in part your uneducated comments are one of the reasons I am not longer interested in discussing this. If I have to go behind everyone on this thread and explain how things are realistically I will never get anything done, having wide open misinformation comments will drive away otherwise interested parties.
You know how much paperwork is going to be involved in purchasing a strain of fungus that has the potential to destroy millions of acres of crops?
I sell a source who himself sells the production strain of claviceps paspali which produced 1.5g LSAs/L of broth, has no ergo-peptides which cause human poisoning (only if you swallow it anyway so its s moot point) and does not produce any type of spore, spore germination is required for ergot type fungi to pierce into its host.
So no paperwork
no crop infections
