Oh wow! What was the temperature they grew under if you don't mind me asking. Ecuador is my favorite cubensis I've grown them... God, I can't count. I have never seen them grow like that. They are typically more "stout" when compared to others like PESH or PR from what I have seen... But never had any looking like that!
I ask the temperature because I seen to notice Wispier mushrooms the warmer the temp in my GH. And more stockier and thicker mushrooms when the temperatures a cooler.

Yeah, these have had their share of cool temps. Temperature has been around 71 during the day and dips to 64 at night.....Sometimes it is a little more or a little less...I know its not optimal but I haven't made any adjustments yet. They take a little longer but its cool. That fat short mushroom is the only one of that nature......I had one cake with more normal looking mushrooms. Most others look like the 2nd pic. When I first started I did alot of reading, read alot of success stories for first timers and failures....So I started off with alot of cakes expecting to have a nice sized failure rate.....Wasn't expecting a 98% success rate....Had to build a couple more SGFC's

Yeah it may not be what they call "optimal" but IMO it is optimal to me. I love the thicker fruits They seem to me to be more potent as well... I remember RR saying something about lower temps and potency... Cant find that thread tho... I wont go back to the optimal temps. I keep mine at 68-71F and they do great. I don't mind the slower times. I am not giving you advise lol... But I would keep it how you got it!
Intereting looking EQ... lol my favorite strain looking crazy... I love it!

Yeah I would like to drop to 65F but my GH is in the same room as my Poison Dart Frogs. So I have to keep the temps around the high 60's low 70's...

On a side note I have fruited mushrooms in there terrarium. It was very cool watching mushrooms grow inside there tank!
I burried it in there soil (ABG mix... Atlanta Botanical Garden mix... Sawdust, orchid bark, Charcoal, and coco coir.) They grew out like wild mushrooms it was very neat.

Yeah, I was a bit worried at first because I read that the optimal temp for cubes is at around 74...But I'm not complaining with these fruit bodies...They are a bit hollow towards the cap. I wasn't expecting them to be SOLID at the "trunk" like this though. Now that I look I have a bunch of mushrooms opening early on cakes that don't have biggies....Moisture is good. I give it a good amount of FAE and mist....Have some verm on the top for moisture...Need to troubleshoot to find out what the deal is...

Pets and breeding...
You can sell 1 Dendrobates leucomelas for $25.00 - $30.00 as a juvenile.
If they are sexed. (meaning the sex is determined... i.e. adults.) They go for $75.00 - $150.00
If you sell a sexed pair (one male one female) They go for $150.00 - $200.00
If your selling a proven pair (A pair thats breed before) your talking $250.00 - $350.00
And some rare specie or harder to breed specie like Lamasi or pumillio
They go for $150.00 per frog and tons tons more money if they are sexed and sexed pairs and proven pairs...
Lamasi:

Pumillio:

Sorry did not mean to jack your thread.

Well it was probally all the moss the frog is standing on. I am more than familiar with D. leucomelas they are yellow and black. there are specie variations like banded and fine spotted but they are all yellow and black. sorry if the picture made it look greenish...
... No you cannot lick them 
They are Poison Dart Frogs... so if you decide to lick one after given the name... that your problem... LOL (But they are not poisonous when raised in captivity. they derive there toxins from with bugs in the rainforrest.)

D. leucomelas: Fine spotted.
 D. leucomelas: Banded Brittish Guyana.
 D. leucomelas: "Standard"

Yeah there is good money in breeding frogs... And they are easier than keeping fish. And rearing tadpoles is just as easy as goldfish...
Gives something to use old petri dishes for...
A coconut hut. with a petri dish underneeth. makes for a good frog humping station.
