Who has noticed bruising on their fimetaria/hispanica ?? I picked some and got some great pics of bluing that happened within minutes of handling

Nice bluing! Am I right in thinking you also posted this to r/fimetaria?
Some people's cultivated P.fimetaria does blue strongly like yours do. Not all, however.

I wouldn't focus too much on varying spore colours of closely related Psilocybes. The differences,if there are any, will likely be minute and in the subjective range. Remember a highly concentrated/dense spore deposit may appear darker than a spore deposit consisting of less spores.

Do you have a log? What was the substrate, what type of isolation was this?

These from the plastic container and glass jar have no bruising


These from the basket all have bruising

No log and it was just a different culture from a different plate but same original print. Going to be trying to determine if it was genetic or environmental, but I would assume there were would be more bruising on wild specimens if it was environmental. I think it's genetics personally but I'll keep you all posted

If you think its genetics i will buy you a set of miraculix test. Or get one yourself!

Shoot me a link to something legit I'd like to have that resource!
I say I think it's genetic because they are all in similar substrates outside in similar conditions and these are so obviously different. Also I imagine their natural environment is the same if not better than what I have going right now.
I'm cloning the basket culture to see if I can replicate it in different settings. I'm hoping to get to the bottom of the environment vs genetics question

The Miraculix tests are available at https://www.miraculix-lab.de/en. Note that there is a link to another site to order them in the US. They are accurate to within about 10%, which is less accurate than HPLC but mushrooms differ from one mushroom to the next more than 10% so the accuracy is fine.
Best place to send them for DNA barcoding to confirm the species is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nSKlouFy1Z3OXbCf2cWiKH0hkDnFKZvPn6_oCr3vEK0/edit
It's free, though he does accept donations.

Thanks Alan! I'm going to order some of those tests. I'd also love to send in samples for sequencing but I had always wondered if there was any legal risk with something like that? Is there anything to worry about when sending psilocybe through the mail, or is it safe because it's headed to a lab?

There is legal risk but not much. Mail cops only care about large amounts. If you are sending ten pounds you should worry, but no one cares about a couple of grams.
