huautla cubensis pinning rather normal

Treasure Coast monoculture #1 looking good. the second is looking contaminated by bacteria. It is sitting on the stir plate for a few more days to keep it agitated.

pan goliate spawn looks like whatever. i placed a pan goliath cake in the fruiting chamber yesterday and have been misting and fanning regularly. Temps are 76F in the ambient room so likely 80F in the chamber. this is good.

huautla cubensis are showing two very different genetic variations.
i recall treasure coast cubensis having a similar quality.
The larger/ darker/ denser looking fruiting body type is a quality i cloned from the treasure coast. I will make a clone of this larger/darker/denser huautla as well. i have noticed in outdoors cubensis, the fruiting bodies are very thick skinned and healthy looking. Very superior traits that would help it survive weathering and agitation versus small thin skinned bodies. The catch with the outdoors fruits is they are fewer in number which leads me to believe that they are a hardier but more energy hungry. Probably a good monoculture for bulk tek monotub?? or use as potted plant mycorrhizae? (i started a thread on some experimentation in the ORGANICS SECTION ~~come grab a chair, it will be a slow journey since i need to order air pots for the myco's sake)

oh and in this pic right here at the top, yes. The cake in the background is the grass/dung loving panaeolus goliath forming hyphal knots! it appears that my unconvential substrate will perform. LETS SEE THEM FRUIT!!! i say pins by tomorrow night? fruits by the end of the week?? yessirrrr..

first flush:
the wet weight highest was 65g of huautla. the highest treasure coast was previously 70g if i recall correctly... pretty comparable

i dunked these shroomies in water before putting them to dehydrate. i figure, there are billions of spores i could get a hold of and pour onto the grass outside and into my garden's soil.

Also, trying to clone the largest Huautla found from that video above. H1 now.

bamboo spawn is showing growth.

ayahuasca (banisteriopsis caapi)
-note i had a horrible germination rate. i now learn that seeds are produced naturally in the fall and lose viability quickly. These came from Brazil. 1/10 germinated. or rather 3/30. One of which was attacked by some insect and lost its newest growth before it could grow leaves. Fortunately, these could propagate easily from cutting. 30$ usd for one cutting on ebay?!? wow i need to get in on that business.....

There's an easier way than PF tek/BRF cakes if you care to skip sterilization and go straighy to inoculation. I buy sterilized, filtered rye berry spawn bags with self-healing injection ports for spawn and pre-pasteurized mushroom compost for bulk. Use contam-resistant, highly rhizomorphic, and aggressively growing strains for your first time. Here:

https://www.shroomsupply.com/mushroom-grow-kits/mushroom-cultivation-kits?zenid=dcdjssaje9uhk4raeau5hap8f0

This is the full kit; I just use two of their spawn bags for 5lbs of their mushroom compost, which contains horse manure, exotic zoo manure, organic coconut coir, vermiculite, and gypsum.

I am currently spawning Mazatapec/Mazatec variety of cubes, and I also have Huautla, from Huautla de Jimenez, Oaxaca.

Hey dude could you put up a link on what tek you're following? I'm super interested
