Italian term or phrase: Lievito madre disidratato
I am translating a recipe for a company that uses "Lievito madre disidratato " which must be something similar to a sourdough starter mix. I have never seen it for sale outside of Italy. For the moment I have traslated with Dry sourdough starter yeast but I am not really convinced.

Attenzione! Unlike in English, in Italian the LM may not mean sourdough. It's a large medusa-like fungus that grows in a large jar in water and is fed sugar. It reproduces; and every peace of it makes east and, in effect IS yeast itself. It can be dried and used to make anything that ferments, including the sourdough. Then a piece of very sour sourdough may also be dried and used to start fermenting more dough. So, it's kinda mother sourdough. But not in Italia: in Italian, I repeat, Madre di Lievito or Lievito Madre is only Mother East.

More (just for fun, as a cultural-philological exercise): Russians, in the countryside – still, grow а variety of ME in three-litre jars used to sell pickled gherkins. It grows to the full diameter of the jar and then starts producing additional underbelly discs. They feed it every day with sweet weak tea. The organism is a symbiont of fingi (yeast) and bacteria. The yeast transform sugar into alcohil and carbonic acid; and bacteria transform alcohol into the organic vinegar. In Summer, every day you draw out some of this pungent and very refreshing liquid to drink, and replace the take with sweet tea. A me fa schifo... The stuff's called "grip" (from "grib"=mushroom) or" tea medusa", or "Japanese tea medusa". It can be lyophilized and used as a strong fermenting and "puffing-up" agent. Italian mother yeast is similar and is also a symbiont, albeit with a much higher east content.
