Hi there, i'm growing a kit of Mckennaii, but i need some infos from you expert guys 
Mckennaii are supposed to be dark brown cap color, but mine are growing with a white cap, i don't know if this is normal.. i've attached a few pics for you to understand better what i'm talking about.
What do you think guys? Is this ok? They look like albine's to me.

The color looks just fine (: Don't focus too much on the" mckennai" look, it's just a type of cubensis And those are definitely cubes They aren't albino, cubes have a whitish stalk and a golden to Brown cap Also, the caps change colors throughout the growth cycle so you'll see some that look like the pictures in a few days
Good luck on your grow Try taking some spore prints or a tissue sampler when they're done so that you can try using the PF tek or monotub tek next time instead of using the small kit But either way, stay safe

Thanks a lot for the replies 
So it's all ok  I'll post new pics tomorrow!
I already though of taking some spore prints This is the first time i grow mushrooms, but it seems it's not that big deal 
ps: Is it ok to open the bag one time a day for about 20-30 seconds to change the air inside? Or i need to do it more often?

I didn't know that mckenna had a stropharia cubensis phenotype! That's fucking awesome!
Where can you get these mckenna-cubensis spores?
I have mckennas phenotype of banisteriopsis caapi 
And I love it, it has to be formitive causation, where Mr.mckennas morphogenetic field permantly alters the experiance involved with the plants that bare his name. (Though this is a sheldrake explaination, i think mckenna would have supported it, I'm not sure how seriously I take it, but I love the concepts)
I'm very interested in this mckenna stropharia cubensis phenotype...

He doesn't. It's just a standard Cubensis. Somebody slapped a name on it so they could mark it up like crazy.

Bummer....
In the case of the mckenna-caapi (which is the same price as the other caapi phenotypes), it was suposed to be a clone of the vine mckenna first brought to botanical dimentions greenhouse, regardless, its a great phenotype I have also heard it called "banisteriopsis colorada" which is not scientific nomenclature, but gets attatched to this phenotype. Its "red" caapi, and from my source its consistant. I prefer mckenna-red-caapi to other phenotypes, but this preference may be psychosomatic.
I was hoping that mckenna had devoloped some phenotype of the fungi....Damn.
I guess all stropharia cubensis could be considered "mckenna mushrooms" as mckenna focused almost exclusively on this strain.....Maria Sabina would call cubensis "San isidro" and thought of them as inferior (though they really are not)....so maybe psilocybe mexicana could be the Sabina mushroom in this sense....
Still disappointed though....

You do know Rupert sheldrakes theory of formitive causation and morphogenesis right? Like I said, I'm not sure how seriously anyone should take this stuff, but I truley enjoy these concepts, the strange thing is, is that you can observe the effects of formitive causation and morphogenetic fields in every day life.
So many people are genuinely ignorant regarding most the concepts that I reference, its interesting to see how people react to things they know nothing about, their basic assumptions about the things you are saying are always so far from the actual topic that i wonder how they generate their reactions....you always get the strangest responses from people who think they know what your talking about, because the response is based on their assumptions about what your saying, and not based upon anything else.

Im pretty familiar with Sheldrake, the theories on morphogenesis as well as his experiments on synchronicity and so forth
Im pretty familiar with a lot of things... relatively speaking...
So many people have no sense of humor, its interesting to see them flop around like dead weight

Heraclitus said (refering to historical process) "we never step in the same river twice" Terrence mckenna said in response to the statement made by heroclitus "if your paying attention we never step in the same river once."

and that is available in grow kits too, so could be a mix up of labels.
I first saw McKennaii in amsterdam, it was sold at a higher price than other cubes and was said to be more potent. There were no spores of it being sold that I saw. Some even tried to say it was a new species altogether, psilocybe mckennaii

Those really do look like albinos to me, the blueish caps especially. Post a pic when the caps open up.
I started wondering about Mekenna after I read True Hallucinations

...and I'm the one without a sense of humor....
So whats the deal with these mckenaii? This is not a scientific phenotype is what I was told, I was told it was mushroom/spore producers using mckennas name to make a few extra dollars....
Have you actually tried this phenotype yet? Is it any different than any other stropharia cubensis strains?
If I was thinking of making a spore purchase, would you recomend these stropharia cubensis mckennaii?

I never said you didn't have a sense of humor, I said you're a pretentious douche.
Stropharia Cubensis doesn't exist anymore. They're Psilocybes.
