Hi!

I’m looking for very soft white rot wood, the soft wood produced by shiitake and other white rot fungi processing the sapwood. The softness of it should allow you to very easily break off wood pieces and crumble them between your fingers when dry, and has a somewhat spongy texture. I only need the sapwood, not the heartwood. So specific because I need rot wood that is very high in cellulose content with very little lignin, that can be packed tightly into test tubes.

Current source of white rot wood charges $12/gallon, willing to pay a little more for white rot that is purely this soft and decomposed. Ideally sapwood would be broken off the heartwood, since that’d make shipping cheaper and the rot wood amount easier to measure !

Preferably email me at leo.e.mahoney@gmail.com since I likely won’t be checking here often after the first few days. Thanks!
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
