I used to be made to drink all sorts made with natural yeasts, but only cyder ever fermented out strong enough. Then I started to make my own with
CWE 67 
No wonder mankind started to culture specific yeasts, woo, hoo!

Nobody has mentioned Saccharomyces pastorianus, otherwise known as S. carlsbergensis.
This was first described in 1883 by Emil Hansen whilst working for the Danish Brewery, Carlsberg. We wouldn't have any lager without it.

The earlier comment regarding the development of specific yeasts for uses is good advice. For example, (I have tried this!) if you try to make wine using a commercial bread yeast, it is a bit "iffy", but if you use a wine yeast for making bread, and slow prove overnight, it does impart a destinctive flavour, which is quite pleasant (hence my original question about the yeast and sourdough)
I had also previously posted a thread about fermenting blewitts (which they did naturally - but I didn't have enough to make a gallon brew - this year maybe) but I have made Mushroom wine "guided" by a recipe from Novelty Wines Recipe using a kilo of frozen sliced bog standard white supermarket bought. - the initial tasting was "different", you could drink one or two glasses, but thats it. So the remainder has been left to "mature". (it's had over 5 months, but I'll leave until the autumn for the next test. | | | |
