Just a thought on the question: I suggest testing several azoles such as
propiconazole (Alamo, Banner Maxx) or thiabendazole (Arbotect 20S). Both
are used as injectants for Dutch elm disease. Also, I believe that several
other azoles are used against dermatophytes (athlete's foot, tinea
cruris). I also suggest that you contact Dr. Jessie Glaeser, USFS Forest
Products Lab., Madison, WI, who may provide much greater insights. Her
doctoral research was published in Mycotaxon, and she did some highly
significant work on differentiating certain fungal taxa via selective
media. Good luck, for I feel sure the effective agent is out there! Jay

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.
