Just As Easy As Cubes - Fruiting Psilocybe mexicana/A-Strain In A Monotub 2

Psilocybe mexicana/A-Strain This is #7 in the "Just As Easy As Cubes" series. The first of the series was the Just As Easy As Cubes - Fruiting Psilocybe galindoi/ATL#7 In A Monotub, and the second is the Just As Easy As Cubes Series - Psilocybe semperviva (P. hoogshagenii var. convexa) In A Dubtub. The third is Just As Easy As Cubes Series - Panaeolus cyanescens/Red Down Under In A Dubtub. The fourth is Just As Easy As Cubes Series - Psilocybe tampanensis In A Monotub. The fifth is Just As Easy As Cubes Series - Panaeolus cyanescens/Hawaii In A Dubtub . Sixth is Just As Easy As Cubes - Fruiting Psilocybe mexicana/Huautla In A Monotub
Spawn, substrate and casing materials are all the same in these series. 1 quart of sterilized rye berries were used as the spawn. It was inoculated with an agar wedge. Let it sit and produce sclerotia for over 7 months. It was shaken and sclerotia were harvested from the substrate, then the leftover grains were spawned.
The bulk substrate is my regular substrate what I use for my cubensis grows as well. It consists horse manure, coir, vermiculite and gypsum (50/30/15/5) and always pasteurized for 2 hours. It was prepared on the wet side to accomodate the slightly dehydrated grains. In this particular grow 3 quarts were used.
Mixed the spawn with the bulk in a trashbag lined small tub. Depth about 2". Colonized in 12 days.
Applied a thin, about 1/4" of pasteurized casing layer (Sifted, vermiculite enriched cactus soil). Introduced to fruiting.
First pins appeared 10 days after casing.
Fruiting temperature is ~75F. 6.5K CFL 12/12 schedule.
Here's the jar, and harvest of the sclerotia:

Looks awesome man.
Have you tried rehydrating the grains before spawning with any exotics?

I was thinking the same thing - if sclerotia is forming for 7 months, those babies are probably pretty dry by the time you spawn the grains.

Not yet, but I sure will. I've got a couple more 6 months old jars, I will dunk those. As said in op, I just prepped the substrate a little above field capacity and made sure that it is very evenly mixed with the grains. Now I wonder how those others will do after dunking, but want to wait a few more weeks to crack them open.
