Sclerotia LF teks & general info

I was inquiring on sclerotia aka magic truffle or philosophers stone.
Does anyone have any teks or general info on this subject. Also what strain(s) produce sclerotia? I am debating if this may be an alternative for stealth grow of psilocybin. In my current living conditions I cant have tubes seating about, but I should be able to hide a few jar.
Looking forward in getting some updated info on this topic and thank you all in advance.

Thanks. I didn't see anything about cloning.I plan on getting spores for the first run but what tek can be used to start a second grow off the sclerotia? Can you cloning live tissue from sclerotia?

yes, sclerotia is mycelium. Wipe one with alcohol in your SAB or in front of a FH break one in half take a small tissue sample and put it to agar.

Nice,I wonder what the avg. yield would be for pint size mason jars. Does anyone have a grow log that they would like to share?

It's quite a lot more than you'd expect, but the numbers escape me at the moment. I believe you can get a dry pound off of 10 quarts.

the word you're looking for is species. as in species of sclerotia forming psilocybe fungus.
Psilocybe galindoi/ATL#7 Psilocybe mexicana/A Psilocybe tampanensis/Pollock Psilocybe mexicana/Jalisco
they're not better or worse than eachother, your mileage will vary when starting from spores and you have the possibility to isolate a good strain of each of these species.
You don't know what strain you have until two compatible spores mate and share genetic information making dikaryotic mycelium which is capable of fruiting and sclerotia formation.
some suplemental info and this

There's anecdotal evidence I could find somewhere where some person says one or the other is better from their personal experience, and your personal experience would vary too because of the genetic diversity, your skill, the time of year, the temperature, the place your growing them, the light they get etc....
growing them on a PF cake is only one variable, your setup may favor one or the other species for more reasons than just the cake alone, the grade of verm you got how fine your BRF is the chemistry of your water, the geometry of the jar you're putting them in etc...

I have grown ATL #7 and Mex A, and agree with some other posters like Roger Rabbit that there is a quality difference. For me it is big: I have both and have been intently gauging their effects. Mex A is a super clean, joyous experience while for me ATL #7 is rather unclean and off balance. It is like one is a sativa and the other an indica with too many confusing cannabinoids. They are both better than regular cubensis.
I encourage everyone to try all the mexicana sclerotia and fruits. Mex A sclerotia is my favorite as I find a big improvement in quality of experience which is more important than it's slower growing time to me. I have not tried any of the mexicana fruits or any sclerotia besides Mex A and ATL #7, though I want to. I also want to try the new strain termed Chicon Nindo. I am basically in search of the cleanest trip out there. For me it's Mex A at present: it is wonderful!
