At the Agricultural Department of the University of Pisa in northern Italy, they have suceeded in bead nucleating sinanodonta woodiana and making them grow to 15mm.
I think they were using plastic beads for nucleation at the University of Pisa. It is fascinating that they got such a wide range of very interesting colours from the sinanodonta woodiana. Black, rose, silver white......I never thought there could be such a variation. The woodie seems to be a common mussel in Tuscany.
