Fungi Perfecti my arse.
    #1374200 - 03/13/03 10:25 PM (20 years, 10 months ago)

I have been informed that some of the isolates being sold by fungi perfecti for the absolutely ridiculous price of $125 US are actually untested and quite poor.
Anyone know from experience?

NO, but they do seem sketchy to me, selling those myco medicinals, which is basically just mycelium in a pill.

Couldn't say for sure. I don't have the $125 to shell out on a culture. I'd find it hard to believe though. He prides himself and his company on his cultures/spawn and their viability.

Their prices are high because they offer support, free replacement & low P value. And because of Stamets fame. :tongue: But I don't beleive that they sell bad & untested strains.
Some of them are in circulation anyway and can be easily cloned from their cheap kits.

Link to their sale agreement.
Fungi Perfecti
Someone else posted a response from FP when asked why they charge so much and the response was along the lines of what Zeronio said. Everything has documentation about the vitality and P scale value of the culture. FP's cultures are geared more towards the commercial side of the business, not really the home cultivator.

Would cloning from fruit body and reselling violate their limitations policy?

I don't know. I suppose if you marketed it as a clone from one of the fruits from their culture without their permission, they might have something to say.

That's what i was saying too. :smile: I'm sure the commercial growers can afford FP's prices and are more than happy to pay them for a guaranteed viable culture.

FP sell reasonable products. Their cultures are meant for commercial spawn production. If you want a culture that you can do anything you like with, those are considerably more (I believe they were charging ~US$2000 last time I checked).

aye, 1 year free replacement if you lose it, and you own it and can legally do whatever the fuck you want with it. Sell it, sell spawn, whatever.

In theory one should be able to geminate spores off a fruiting body and then sell any strains that may arise.

but that would place you in no different a place than any other spores. Spores have their genetics, and you'll have to isolate a strain from them anyhow. So you might as well get a print from any old place, or clone something.

$125 is not all that much, go to any strain library, such as the one at Penn State and you will see that they are comparable in cost, and in the case of FP, you are likely to get something that is atleast tested as to its ability to fruit. The cheapest I have seen strains offered is from Mushroom People at $50. The cheap culture syringes that you can get online are like nicked from FP or some other companies fruit-it-yourself kit. Most site specifically say that it is not okay if you isolate from their kits or sell spawn derived from an isolate that you purchased from them. I love nicking strains, and because they are from kits they are likely to be easy to fruit because they are sold to people that often know little about fungi.

well, there is only an agreement to purchase - if someone were to send you a wedge of mycellium - they would be violating the purchase agreement - not you. There's no patents or copywrites for strains, are there? I mean a purchase agreement doesn't go very far, and there are many ways around it. Not to mention is there ANY way for anyone to tell if you have "their" strain or not?
