...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?

Yea thry changed the name to pysilocybe (sp? Jesus I read it enough I should know how to spell it haha) cubensis a while back.

All the different names of cubes.. golden teacher, b+, AA albino, treasure coast etc... they arent strains, more like varieties as  we say around here. All have the same growing parameters, all have same potential for potency, size and yield. The difference between them is mostly cosmetic.
Everytime you grow them from spores you get a whole ton of different strains going at once,  the aesthetics might be pretty predictable based on how about specific variety usually looks. EX, AA usually grow white.

You have to do strain isolation work on agar media to get a specific strain that gives consistent results, and  it would have to be grown from that culture each time. If you take a spore print and grow from that it will reset the genetics.

  so so so so I might so I might grow so I might grow that McKenna strain and get one result and another person might get a totally differnt one.
So nobody can really tell you much about mekennas. Hope  this this answers this answers your question

The difference is that with growkits they are presumably all made from isolated strains, I imagine they carefully selected a strain which was suited to being dehydrated and being used for kits, contam resistant etc. So if the growkit is of this type (some come with spores) then you can expect similar results.

People complain about commercial growers making up new names, like for sclerotia/stones. But 1 vendor is selling stones which do have made up names, but when you read the description it may say this is "atlantis" and so is no doubt derived from the same spores Workman originally worked with. And they legitimately are trading in strains, which people could then clone and pass on.

I have issues with them when they do not disclose the species, or even worse make up new species.
