Dear Ian and All,

 

You can still purchase Benomyl  from Sigma for about 60 usd:

We have found that several ml's of 95% etoh in equal amount of water will help it dissolve.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Ben

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.
