    Well, there are phenotypes but it is entirely possible that they are less complex. However, look at peyote, it is packed with various psychotropic. Opium poppies are filled with dozens of various alarms. And other mushrooms have many different compounds.

    Well, I've worked exclusively with clones for long periods of time in an effort to have the experience dependable and predictable... as predictable as this stuff can actually be. So theoretically at least, the genetics, save sentience, should be identical.

    Advice for first time shrooms

    The mushroom has a way of getting you to the place you actually need to be. I have heard countless recountings of people who intended to take a museum dose or slightly higher absent mindedly munching on more or they miscalculate at the onset, or they enjoy that initial rush and seek to extend...

    Quicker, and safer, you can usually tell if your syringe is contaminated before you waste a bag. And of course it extends your spores.

    Hey, you guys. I have the perpetual question, can different phenotypes (not strains) have different effects? We all want this stuff to have the variety of pot but in all my years I just can't tell. Years ago I grew some Amazon that perhaps six or seven heroic users all explained that they...

    There is some lore that the fruit can absorb toxins from neighboring mold. But I have trouble believing it. Mostly the thing that makes you sick (besides the presence of chitin of course, and that is mostly because you can't digest it and it's just physically sharp), is bacterial infection of...

    It is possible that the larger, fibrous or Hollow fruit will be flexible, like a rope...kind of... even when fully dry.

    Nothing wrong with a box fan and finishing to cracker dry in an oven on warm with the door slightly open.

    Don't spray mushrooms with anything but water. If there is any petroleum distillate in the spray you will get rosecomb and may concentrate the poisons within the mycelium. You might not have gnats, they might be mites. I have used no pest strips with some success. They don't cause rosecomb...

    Yes you can. Your flushes will be bigger and not last as long.

    The trick is to study a lot. Each contam grows a slightly different sort of mycelium and a slightly different color. Keep at it and you will develop a distinction. Lc is tough but even then you can begin to tell. Try spinning a jar and letting some mycelium float on the surface, you can...

    If you are doing well with milo or milet stick with that. Rye is annoying. I have used it for decades. Just a bit too much water or cooking time renders it a sticky clay like mess. Corn is good when you get the hang of it but it all depends on intent. If you are looking to bolster yield...

    Anybody growing mushrooms willing to talk???

    I take issue here. These are tropical mushrooms, note the areas they come from, Florida, Texas, Thailand, the Amazon, all quite hot and surely beyond even the high sixties. I hold that 75 is about the lowest one should go. Although it won't hurt them to go into even the 40's. Just be...

    It has been said that the slower the fruit grows the stronger they are. I have done a few tests but can't really evaluate that claim. Others say that they grow Hollow if grown "too fast". I THINK that maybe they are more Hollow but that probably doesn't affect final weight. I believe that...

    Looks great, those little threads are always a very good sign. Primordia often form along them.

    I have to congratulate you on your increadable knack growing cubes dude. We have watched you from the start. Don't stop experimenting now that you are beginning to gain fungus wisdom. Maybe getting time for pan cyan?

    Anybody growing mushrooms willing to talk???

    I have placed boxes half in light and half in as much darkness as possible. The dark side had few primordia, the light, lots. Now what EXACTLY is "microclimate" and how does one control it? A problem with light is that there must be light in order to observe the bed and of course the...

    It's not hype. Light is a significant trigger.
