Penis strain just not fruiting

Those cakes were right next to my cambodian cakes and they were fine, but none of my penis envy strain is fruiting. Any genetic reasons for this?

i've read that PE has a hard time with cakes sometimes. maybe try a grain substrate.

there are lots of mutants with multi-spore Penis envy. You may have gotten poor fruiters

As far as i know consolidation is a big factor with PE on cakes

oh yeah? good to know
How long have they been in fruiting conditions? is it possible you're being impatient?

honestly I think penis envy is very substrate specific. although people do grow them with success on coir I keep seeing these mutant threads popping up and I don't ever see mutants with my bulk straw sub I use. also I don't think I've ever read a thread with envy cakes that worked. I could be wrong about that though. they do take a bit longer to pin and to mature. also they literally suck the substrate dry like giant straws so they are best to grow in bulk substrate. it's a bit tough of a mushroom to tackle if you're new at this for sure. one thing is for sure, they do love bulk straw mix's

never heard that, but now I'm definitely going to try to add straw to my next PE tray

they'll thank you. I grow PE clones, take spores and grow PE MS, and it's always regular looking PE fruits. only time I ever saw mutant blobs was when I had some extra jars and decided to case my grains in a tray. haven't strayed away from my bulk straw since. only problem is, I only get 1 flush because it's mostly straw and like I said they suck every bit of water out of the sub. I just don't have the guts to dunk my blocks.
 
also they take at 10 to 12 days to pin and a solid week to mature
