I appreciate the myco porn! Make sure to update us on what you decide to do with it after this year. If I were you I would put this one in the ground after it is done fruiting and next year start another one next to it.
Maybe you could have the spawn ready in the spring. Would it be possible to make a clone of one of these fruits in a liquid culture? If so that sounds like an idea!
Keep up the work, lookin good!

It would be possible but pretty hard and it would take a lot of work. You'd have to take a tissue culture and clean it up and then make the LC from there. There really isn't much of a point to do that with this species though. All you need to do is use stem butts and cardboard. Once you colonize the cardboard which doesn't even require sterilizing you can then inoculate wooden dowel plugs and expand to chips from there.
Since the bed is fruiting I can just keep expanding off of it and don't really need to make any more jars or anything like that. If hypothetically I were going to make up jars it would have to be right now if I planned on any possibility of a bed with new genetics fruiting next fall...
ON to the update.... These guys are still coming along, 
I probably will let that first smaller cluster on the side side fully open so I can get a replacement for my back up print.
The other ones I will probably take down earlier to preserve potency and quality.

Congrats on the middle pins, looks like they were just waiting for it to dry out a bit.
I understand what you are saying about just expanding the patch with existing mycelium. That sounds like the best plan, sorry for my noob advise! lol
I hope the weather holds out for ya!

Thanks guys,
I actually took another video today that is even better. I did it after dark with the flash on so it came out 1000x better.
I harvested them all with the exception of the new pins that have been forming. I took some harvest photos and will go through them tomorrow and post the final pix up.
Here is the new youtube video. They are quite ripe!

Was that video handheld? It looks very strange, like the camera is floating or something. Really cool. Also, what song is that?

The video was taken with a iPhone 5s. I just have practice so I know how to hold it and move it so it looks decent. The Song is by Omission and is called Huma-Huma https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Huma-Huma+de+Omission
OK on to the update, I took down all the mature ones last night and it is supposed to be very very chilly here for the next week straight so no telling what will become of the pins in the center but they are looking very healthy. If they do end up surviving they will probably be nice too.
Here is a final round of pix from just before I harvested the two main clusters last night.

And here are a couple shots of some fruits after harvest and left overnight to bruise up. This should give you guys an idea of how potent these things are.

I'll update the thread again with the pins if they aren't black within the next couple days from freezing....

do you happen to know what vendor name variety you have?
The Hammond strain?
Mine never really got that UFO shape in the cap. It was more flat like...
And yes!!! Potency up that ASS!!!!!

They came from gill frags from the wisco kid 3 yrs ago,....
This is the info he gave me so I assume they are hammond strain,

They are very fricken potent!
Check out the site where I harvested the first cluster! I took the pic a few minuted ago so it is about 40 hours or so since harvest.. I'd say the bruising has definitely set in, lol..

Yea, me too. I got that guy off before he did any damage though. I use kelp meal and it keeps them at bay but it has rained a bit since I applied it so the sea salt probably was mostly washed off of the surface layer by the time I took that pic... If I didn't use the kelp meal they would have been devoured a week ago for sure.
Here are a couple shots of the new clusters after the temps hit 25f last night and it snowed. The tub stays covered so the snow didn't penetrate their environment..

Stay tuned

I haven't gone through the pix yet from this fall but they are on my computer.
I posted a video on youtube that I shot for now before harvesting them.. I will pop back in and post the pictures eventually..
This years fruits were on the small side. I hadn't added any chips to the bed. This up coming spring I will expand it for sure...

The 2nd flush was much prettier than the first. I wasn't even expecting it but the weather turned around a little bit here.
I made another youtube video. This is probably the best one I have made over the last 3 years...
I took more pix but still haven't getten to uploading them. I'll made another post soon and upload all the pix too...
