Actually when I make cheese I've been using mushroom extract for rennet.
While it is not period it's easily found, vegetarians can eat the cheese
and it's easily stored.  I can't recall the name of it right off but I've
found it in three stores here in Bryn Gwlad.  One day I'm gonna track down
rennet from a calf and see what happens.  I'm getting ready to make some
for a couple of events and one of the things I'm planning on is trying
nettles and a few of the other rennet plants.  We have a species related to
Lady's bedstraw that grows here in the spring and I'd like to try that...
see if it works.

      You might want to go to  http://www.windward.org/ush/ush.htm  (The
University of St Hildegarde site) and look at the cheesemaking article there.
It went into some detail on different ways to obtain rennet from calves'
stomachs, plus a rundown of how well various plants work to achieve the same
effect. Lots of good info!
