Here's my experience on the matter (on a scale 1-10 10 being the best):

P. galindoi/ATL#7  - stone production 7
                                - fruit production 8
P. mexicana/Jalisco - stone production 2
                                - fruit production 9
P. mexicana/A      - stone production 10
                                - fruit production 1
P. tampanensis      - stone production 5
                                - fruit production 9

In other words if I'd want sclerotia only, I'd go with mex/A.
If I want the best over all stone/fruit producer, gotta go with ATL#7.
Tampanensis being my second choice.
With the mex/Jalisco got very few stones but fruited beautifully.

- I have fruited P. galindoi/ATL on regular BRF cakes and straight cased grains (HARVESTED THE STONES BEFORE).
- I have fruited P. mexicana/Jalisco on cased RGS and I have spawned it to
coir as well. IIRC the spawned to coir jar HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO STONES IN IT,
and it fruited well. I'm not gonna plug my threads and pictures,
you find them for more/other info in my Journal.
- I have fruited (shitty result, but a few prints) P. mexicana/A spawned
to horse manure/coir/verm/straw bulk AFTER THE STONES HARVESTED.
- And finally fruited P. tampanensis spawning to the same manure/coir/straw/verm
right after I HARVESTED ALL THE GODDAMN STONES from the substrate.

Do you have any preferred way of printing these little guys?

I just treat them like every other species of mushroom printing-wise.
Take a piece of foil, put caps on it, cover them with 1/2 pint
widemouth jars.
Or lay a sheet of foil in a upside down shoebox in the lid.
Put caps on it and put on the bottom part of shoebox.
These are my printing results:

P. galindoi
   

   

P. tampanensis (shoebox)
