Penis Envy (ms monotub) 1 3

PENIS ENVY
First I'd like to preface by saying this P.E. lineage acts very differently than any other I've grown. The person who sent this to me has been growing it out for a decade plus, and when I asked him he didn't even remember for sure the source. It doesn't consume the casing layer, whereas all other P.E. I've grown have. It also doesn't seem capable of blobbing. Even with the best timed casing layers, I've always experienced at least one or two blobs with past P.E. grows. I've grown this culture out a few times, a few different ways, and so far it doesn't appear to be prone to blobbing in any way. That's a huge plus to me, and depending on how I can get this culture to act, I may successfully be able to forego casing it entirely, but that is for another thread.
Thank you to the one who gifted this culture to me. You are much appreciated, brother.

The FAT pins, these things were monsters. Biggest pins I've ever personally seen:

The mature monster fruits I loved the looks of these, the caps opened up quite a bit. Word don't do justice just how dense these fruits were. They were like wood:

This culture was also grown out here with a higher spawn ratio and horse poo: Penis Envy (ms monotub) 2.
This culture seems to act pretty consistently on coir, with fewer but larger fruits. I've grown it out in 5 tubs so far with very similar results.
I'm wondering what caused this wall to wall pin set. Was it the high spawn ratio? Was it the horse poo? Was it the fact that it pinned from a mostly colonized surface due to the scratching of the casing layer? Was it a combination of these things? I have no idea, and it's driving me nuts. 
I'll hopefully figure it out in the coming months. I've got quite a few grain masters of this culture in the fridge.

Yes. I let the substrate consolidate at full colonization for a few days before I cased it. Maybe 5 or so. I don't think it had an effect, when compared to other tubs I ran with this culture.

so on one of the other clone cultures you posted, was it a necessary step?
ha your previous post, so many variables, so many questions. hard to find answers. 
i want to know as well.

I have a clone culture from vendor spores that will blob without consolidation before casing, which is then fully consumed before fruiting anyways.
This PE, not the case. I've yet to see a single blob or even slightly mutated fruit. I plan to run a few tubs uncased. I'm anxious to see the results.

Also, this wasn't a clone. The 3 PE grows I posted last night were all from the same MS plate.

yeah all the old pe, peu, ape cultures i had would do excellent uncased. no consolidation nothing. strange things happen over time i guess. pic in my sig of the ape tub was uncased older genetics. the only time ive cased ape, it actually stubbed out on me. ill have to get ape going again here real soon. your giving me the itch. i have 2 tubs of peu fruiting now. im consolidating one tub and going to case tomorrow. i gave it a full week consolidation.

Any pics of the PEU you're doing currently? I've seen your old pics, used to marvel at em while I waited for my PEU spores to germinate. I grew it out a few years back but never took pictures and didn't save any spores/slants. I really loved it. I want to do it again soon, but have a full plate as is. Just trying to burn through all the Penis masters in my fridge before I even start anything else.
