Dr. Milenkovic also showed us how to establish a long term native fungi culture bank. Since her visit, SCZ has established this bank. New Mexico State University is interested in the bank as a program there.

In August 2004, Ivanka Milenkovic, PhD in Mycology from Serbia, showed SCZ how to use native mushrooms to inoculate branches of thinned small diameter trees (ponderosa, pinõn, juniper) and invasive species (salt cedar, Russian olive) and other tree "wastes" (pecan thinnings). As they grow, these mushrooms decompose the branches enriching the soil for live trees, helping to prevent erosion, and, after testing, may provide animal feed from the left-over substrate. Some species of our native mushrooms are edible and very tasty.
