Interesting. I suppose the temperature-spore deposit relationship hypothesis could be right, but so many people print them indoors perfectly that I don't know how much weight it really holds...

Also Psilocybe squamosa? Isn't this Leratiomyces squamosus now?
Just curious because I've seen you mention it quite a few times recently.

Perhaps you'd like to instruct us on the philosophical underpinnings of taxonomic nomenclature.  I'm not talking about the simple stuff like who named what first.  I'm talking about species conception and what, precisely, makes a species a species within the fifth kingdom.  I would have thought a thinker would know that there is no authority on earth that can speak ex cathedra on the matter.

I'll wait.

i´ve just made some the last weeks and i do it like every other sporeprint, but hat one try wich diddnt work, because it was to dry or something like that when i collected it

Trying to print them if the caps have already turned golden is futile. Print the ones that are still wet and olive colored and put a glass over the cap upside down to maintain environmental humidity.
While cubes often give you rich prints after 4-6 hours, you want to print libs at least 12, better yet 24 hours to get a really good print. It's what I do with good success.

yes i realized that too after a few prints^^picked some in rain wich had nice juicy prints for a lib.
and i put my cubes and libs-caps always for 24 hours,sure is sure and thanks again

That's the type of useful information I am looking for.  Thanks!

I am really not sure, this may be a wild shot in the dark, but I suppose that some of the cold climate species simply give off their spores at a slower rate, since the cold climate will give the fruit a longer "life span" than the ones that grow in a hot humid climate before the rot sets in and thus decreasing the evolutionary need for them to release as many of their spores as possible in a very short time period. During the cold days libs can literally sit in the field for 1-2 weeks without any noticable decay.
Just my pseudoscientific $0.02.

Well, I don't really think that there is too much weight to my hypothesis, but if one doesn't think about why things are the way they are a hypothesis will never become a theory that withstands empiric testing. I see the flaw in the theory given your experience with cold fruiting gyms, though.

Well, spill it.  Don't leave me hanging in the dark.

Still saying, reduced enzyme activity and cell division in organisms that are permanently subjected to cold climates are a fact, so I would guess that it has some effects that make a difference in cold climate species and tropical species as well.

this would be just a good logical explaination for the similarity our experiences has shown
