With the reduced availability of Benlate fungicide our lab is seeking other options for a selective medium for isolating basidiomycete cultures (unlike many other fungal groups, basidiomycetes are able to grow in the presence of the added active ingredient, benomyl).
I would be pleased to hear what media other laboratories may be currently using to isolate basidiomycte fungi and what people may think of their effectiveness.

I would look into thiophanate methyl. Thiophanate methyl is a breakdown product of benomyl and is not effective against basidiomycetes.
Ever since benomyl was phased out, rust pathologists have routinely added this to trays of young growing cereal seedlings representing resistance gene isolines, prior to inoculation with rust, in the process of identifying rust "races".

Dear All,
Attached, please find an advertisement for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship opportunity at the University of Alberta, located in Edmonton, Alberta, in the laboratory of Dr. Janice Cooke. The primary objective of this collaborative project is to study the genomics of resistance to Endocronartium harknessii by lodgepole pine, jack pine and their hybrids for utilisation in pine breeding programmes.
Funding is in place and the position is immediately available; therefore, if you are interested, please do not hesitate to apply following the guidelines in the attachment.
