I have experimented on some things and found Blue Cheese to be excellent source of not only fungus but yeast and some bacteria. I did make a couple of smears with the blue cheese but seemed to do much better after just routine processing some of the crumbles of blue cheese in cassettes. Sincerely, Sherrian McAnn

Good Afternoon Netters, I have a project to validate a special stainer and will be starting with GMS. What can I use as a good source of fungus? Was it last week there was mention of orange peels and onions? I need to get the OK of the attending pathologist, so I probably can't use anything too funky, like fruits and vegetables. I don't have access to fresh lung tissue to smear cream cheese on (also mentioned last week) so I was hoping some type of easy to buy processed food (like Slim Jims from Gram stain) is out there to be used as a fungal control. Ideas? Thanks in advance. Paula :-) _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
