DIY Spalted Wood - Did I Fail?

2 years ago

I have always loved the look of spalted wood with all the contrasting lines, and the different tones of wood colors. All of the spalted wood I have used has spalted naturally, but it is always very similar in its look and I have long wanted to find spalting with a bit of color. Then one day I found a piece of a maple firewood log, with spalting on the inside and it was GREEN. With this green spalting, maybe I could create my own fungus culture to grow my own green spalted wood. But .. was it really green spalt that I found, I don't think so, It looks suspiciously like the green from oxidized copper ... maybe that's why my DIY spalting experiment failed. This particular log was spalted maple, but you can get many other fungus woods like spalted alder, spalted oak, and spalted birch.
