How does growing P.Mexicana differ from growing P.Cubensis?
    #10317151 -

Hello,
I got a print of P.Mexicana from FSRE. I made a honey LC out of it and I had some tick mycelium in about 2 weeks. I used the LC to inoculate 11 250 ml corn grain jars with added CaCO3 and CaSO4. 13 days later the jars were fully
colonized and I cased them with a 100 % peat moss(1o parts peat, 1/2 part CaCO3, 1/2 part CaSO4).

Then I waited for the mycelium to recover and start colonizing the casing layer and put my casings in a fruiting chamber at 90-95 % humidity, at 21 degree Celsius and now 8 days later I can see the first mushrooms coming.

The problem is they don't look like P.Mexicanas, but much more like a P.Cubensis. Am I growing P.Cubensis Mexicana? In few days I will have the answer, but what do you think?
I also made two spawns(3:1/Coco Coir:Substrate). This is day 2. Do the look well? When should I case them?


My final question is am I doing everything right?

There is no reason why I would ever want to nor will I grow mushrooms containing psilocybin. :alert:

P.Mexicana does differ from P.Cubensis? the P.Mexicana is a smaller species, often closer in size to the Panaeolus spp. there are some grows here of the P.Mexicana. also, Workman at the Sporeworks has experience with these. he would be a good resource.

Here are some more pics of the first flush coming.

There is one very odd mushroom-the biggest one in this picture. What causes it to grow that way. My last grow almost all mushrooms were like that and I am very concerned. Finding the reason will definitely provide higher yields.

I did try to make the peat as fine as possible. Is it really so bad?

That thing has been mislabeled. It's clearly a cube, not mexicana. If anything it's a Psilocybe cubensis Mexican strain.
Psilocybe mexicana looks like it is much more closely related to Psilocybe species like P. semilanceata (only that it is a tropical species):

Here is my first flush. It look good. I had problems with my air delivery system and the mushrooms were deprived of oxygen. I hope that after fixing the problem the results will be even better.



I have only one concern. On this picture in the right bottom corner there is something white and fluffy. Does it look like cobweb? What can I do against it? I have recased and sprayed everything with diluted H2O2.
