My solid substrate for Tolypocladium / ElaphoCordyceps ophioglossoides

Like three weeks ago I posted my old ophioglossoides recipe to Mycosymbiotics' blog, but that blog seems to be quite dead now 
- that is, not updated for awhile. 

Anyway, below is that post of mine for those interested...

The recipe I used in my old Ophio experiments.
It’s pretty basic recipe containing mainly rice and a small part
of some protein source, but no extra salts or vitamins.
A substrate recipe for ophioglossoides (by Speeker, 2008-11-19)
200g whole rice
300g water
30g skimmed milk powder
2g fresh yeast
4g sucrose
The culture was started from spores. Fruitbodies started forming but
the conditions at balcony probably weren’t ideal in the end.
Culture started by cloning didn’t do anything.
