My best PE harvest so far

So I think this is actually my first tub of PE. I think I had a couple cakes or maybe some vtek PE, but either way I didn't get much the first time around with PE.
This is kind of like late first flush. Really uneven pinset and harvested several mature fruits before this picture.

I used a casing because I think Frank said their beneficial for PE. I also put some bubble wrap on top which seemed to help get more fruits across the surface rather than just on the sides. And now I remember my first ones were Vtek cakes cuz all I got was side pins, even with a casing. I didn't press the casing against the sides though so maybe thats why.
I thought maybe I shoulda weighed this first but just threw them in the dehydrator instead.

Lettin these guys lump out, pick em later tonight or in the morning.

And 3 other tubs on the way, one starting to get a sporadic first flush kinda like this one had, hopefully it will fill out too!
Oh yeah, heres the first pic of the tub, there was a normal shaped mushroom in here, it lumped up near the cap like the PE but was really tall and skinny like a regular cube. Thought it was kinda cool to see a different phenotype or whatever.

Looks good man. Seems like a decent flush for the container size...looks like a small container. I could be wrong tho. Also, p.e to me is like skinny jeans...there a fad at the moment, but in 10 years people will look back and be like wtf was I thinking...growing a batch of dicks.
I say that but tbh, I had to go thru like 5 suppliers recently just to find someone who had p.e spores in stock...which I promptly ordered.

yeah I know. honestly i think they are ugly as fuck. but I wanted to try em.
and it is a small container. I'm doing mini monos right now while I work on my sterile technique. I had some good luck with larger tubs last summer but its a pain in the ass to dispose of a large substrate when I don't have easy access to my compost pile. I'm in AK so my yard is an ice/snow mess right now with these crazy 40 degree temps.
Mini monos are easier to dispose of and minimize contamination spread/loss. And they still fruit just as well; had wall to wall with GT and B+ last year. Its also quicker to bust out a small tub when spawning. Maybe 5 mins exposure to open air while mixing everything.
And the spores are kinda hard to find... kinda another reason why I've been hanging on to this strain by cloning and transfering etc.

nice PE! i've never done PE, cause i don't like the way they look, not because they look like a penis, but i just like the way regular cubes look more potency wise, maybe ill run into someone who has grown them and be able to test that out to see for myself, but seems like the consensus is they are indeed more potent..? is that weird bulbous part near top of stem normal for PE? or is that a mutation?

yeah the bulbous lumpiness is characteristic of a mature PE fruit. Besides being supposedly penis shaped with fat stems and closed caps, they also get really lumpy around the time the veil breaks, if it breaks. They obviously feel weird, almost softer than normal cubes.
I also prefer the way regular cubes look, these are so ugly, but they are interesting. They dry ugly too, but they are less likely to break in the bag or during handling.
I haven't tried any yet, so I cant say on potency. But I do think I have read that they are supposed to be more potent.

Casing layers are great for PE. Great harvest!

They are always more potent than my other mushrooms. I usually eat an 8th but with P.E. I stay around 2 maybe 2.5 . I've had one batch that was just OK potency wise other than that they have always been face melters.

Here's the second half of the late first flush.

I took a couple tissue samples to some half strength agar. 2 plates each from 2 different shrooms from 2 different small clusters; they're the 2 in the bottom left.
I read somewhere that half nutrient agar will help prevent bacteria contam. Every F-ing plate I do gets bacteria. Trying to work on isolating away from it but I just cant shake it. Hopefully These come through.
See what 2nd flush brings. I am just going to mist heavily without letting any water pool up and see if I can get by without dunking.

Be mindful that if you dilute the nutrients in the agar too much the growth will stall.
It might just be the brand of malt I use, but a drop from 30g/1000ml to 20g/1000ml caused me to lose several cultures due to stalling.
They would not even colonize off the wedge with only a 33% decrease in nutrients.
But that is just my experience with my agar mix, results may vary.
