If it bruises blue it's a shroom, right?

I got some spore syringes from someone i really didn't know. He assured me they were ecuador. I grew them and they colonized but no pins yet.
If they bruise blue they are definitely a cube...right?
I don't think any other mushroom strains bruise blue
I don't wanna be eating poison. I will of course compare pics of Ecuador when they start to grow.

there are dozens upon dozens of species in psiolcybe that bruise blue. cubensis are just one of them.

There are mushrooms that bruise blue that are not active.

if by strains you mean variety of cubensis then NO there are no poisonous cubensis if you mean specie, i have no clue i would be 99.999% sure if your growing mushrooms from a syringe that it will be the mushroom that came out of the syringe.

According to alan rockefeller if it bruises blue and has a black or purple spore print its safe. AFAIK most of the poisonous psilocybe look alikes like galerina would be far beyond most people's ability to cultivate indoors anyway.
Cubes are pretty damn distinct, post a pic when it fruits and most people can tell you if you have cubes.

I put the 3 cakes of "ecuador" in with my other 20 or so B+ and costa rica. I hope they will not fuck up my grow in any way
I am paranoid, yes.

cubes are one of the easiest species to grow. if you grow it chances are it's not poison. most noobs have a hard enough time with cubes and they're a weed

Alright then. I'll just wait and see
I thought it was weird though that only 3 out of 11 jars fully colonized. I inoculated on the 15th of last month
Some of them did absolutely nothing, and some are at 5-50% colonized

Every jar has different genetics and will behave differently.

There are a dozen possible reasons a jar stalls out. Contams, temps too high, too low, sub too wet, wrong jars causing compaction, sub too dry, poor genetics. . . the list goes on. Posting a good pic is the only way anyone can help you figure out what to do.

Wish my sterile tek was perfect, wasn't even sure that was possible. The fact that you used spores to inoculate means that contam is quite possible. Never assume anything is 100% clean unless your using agar. Even then things can creep up without you catching it. Fact is that unless your eyes are microscopes you might not even be able to see many contams until your already fruiting.

Well out of 30+ jarsin the last month not a single one got a contam. Not even cobweb.
The point was that I take every precaution to keep contams out. But yeah I'm sure i'll get some in the future.
Trich pops up sometimes when i use old spore syringes that sat around for a year or 2
Tried to use an old Peniv envy syringe and not one jar made it to 1% before they smelled sour and turned green

I disagree.
One of the syringes did fine, and the other that sat for 2 years got trich in every single jar. No growth even
Both from same vendor at same time

What's to stop it from having had trich from the beginning? What's to say there wasn't something fundamentally wrong with your perfect technique? Any technique that's perfect never gets improved on, so that could be an issue as well.
