P. Alleni fruiting in vitro, is this unique?

So I just noticed one of my P. Alleni jars that has been colonized for awhile and sitting has a rather large mushroom in it. I thought P. Alleni were difficult to fruit indoors because they require a symbiosis w/bacteria or something? Is fruiting in vitro uncommon? Could it be that this strain or strains will fruit without the presence of bacteria, thus I could clone it and possibly fruit indoors with relative ease? Or am I just getting excited over nothing?

Do you have a pic? Do you know for sure you're actually growing Psi allenii?

Yah, I guess that's a good point. I'll get one...
edit: Camera needs to charge so it's going to be a half hour or so. It has gotten cold in grow room fwiw, not that cold, but low 50's perhaps at times. Still, the jars are sterile other than the mycilium though. The Alleni's were purchased from Ralphs as well, can't recall ever having a problem with his spores.

Just checked again and I'm not sure whether they're alleni's or not, this is my first time growing them and the mushroom is small and the cap has not opened yet. However I have 2 jars and both are fruiting all over the jars, there's at least 10-20 mushrooms within them. They are growing on WBS and have been fully colonized for probably a good month, maybe more.

Not that I'm doubting you - I only ask since I was sent a print that was supposed to be a Psi semilanceata and it ended up being a cube.
I'm also under the impression that they're a difficult to fruit indoors wood loving species; though I believe there have been a few successful attempts (maybe CaptainFuture and WaylitJim?).
But as far as in-vitro pinning, I think that would be a first - I was also under the impression that wood chips would be required for fruting.
Either way, I'm curious

I'll update with pics later tonight, sorry for the delay. What resparked my interest in this thread is I had 3 grow bags of hay that I had forgotten about and I just noticed some HUGE mushrooms growing in it. If it is Allenii I should be able to make some rather sterile prints. They do look very cube like though so I'm not sure, but we'll see after I post the pics.
