Anastomosis is the fusion of hyphae in the network. In the case of monokaryons they exchange genetic information and become a strain. But you can see anastomosis occur with dykaryons as well which may result in one set taking over the other.
I wish I knew more about such processes but we do know that it's possible for spores to germinate on fully colonized substrates and add their genetics to the colony through anastomosis. That's how the rusty JAS came about. Cron musta had one hell of a CRS sporeload for that shit lol.

JAS = John Allen strain. Cron was growing some JAS when a bunch of them came up with brown spores. He had previously done a massive Colombian Rust spore grow and had a big spore dump. The rusty JAS behaved like a typical cube cross, the recessive traits were very unstable. He gave me and a few other people prints. I had most of mine turn up with purple spores but one fruit in one tub put out brown. I printed it but never got around to trying to stabilize it.

The "dumb" bit may seem like a low blow but I've come to notice that that actually does prevent people from tripping sometimes.

Well when you snip out certain words and put it like that, sure, but I've legit had stupid people not trip and I couldn't figure out why except maybe because they just weren't self aware enough to even notice anything was happening. That or intense psychological blocks.. but if it's actually bunk it's actually bunk, that seems to be the case at this point.

Haha i know man, and i think i get what your talking about haha. i have some "less than philosophical" friends, and mostly they just like the body high and warpy visuals. Ime they still "trip", but nowhere near the degree that my friends with more active imaginations/thought processes. Haha but i seriously do like the bluntness of your comments, frankness is definitely necessary in Mush Cult haha the comment just made me laugh out loud so i had to comment haha

Potency has been shit with me too recently since i'm back playing with MS. I honestly don't really care though, cus i just increase my dosage.
I use to buy grow kits from European website (they send colonised brf/verm boxes, that were already colonised) just to clone their fruits, they use to have bomb ass strains, very potent, i think they isolate them for potency and yield, not sure though, but they use to be super potent.
Wouldn't recommend you doing that though, i think its illegal in the US, and a couple of other countries.

I understand you guys have for the most part confirmed my suspicions on the problem being mostly being a genetic and MS issue, however, what about consolidation of the grain, letting the organism chow down on the grain for a week or so after fully colonized and then spawning? I know this is what you do for PF cakes, but can anyone tell me why this wouldn't also apply to grain and monos?

I think it's because when you're using brf you're more than likely using it as a cake. for the cake to hold itself together, I believe it takes a week of consolidating. Whereas with grains for monos, you're just breaking it up and mixing it in with the substrate.
That's my understanding anyways.

cronicr said: consolidating is done with cakes because they push the limits of being too nutritious so letting the myc get a better grip on it will help the cake itself perform better, too nutritious of a sub and you may get blobs on your first flush, cubes are not as proun to it but things like shitake suffer alot without it, it's not so much about the myc digesting the sub ....this we want most of to happen during fruiting so we keep the co2 levels high during colonizing so consolidating is just to make sure it has a good foothold

cronicr said: i still find dunking grain spawn to be great, even stonesun tested it with his isolates and noticed faster colonizing but no diff on pinning times. as for consolidated spawn as van said we dont do it, we really want a majority of it to be consumed at fruiting which is why we aim for high co2 levels with our grain spawn, this speeds up colonizing and saves the rest for fruiting, this is why you see subs shrink once fruiting begins in things such as mono tubs and trays. it's also a lot harder to break up a consolidated jar, some species it pretty much becomes a write off

I was literally going to post that BRF was also more nutritive than grain iirc, haha. Thanks

The other thing to understand about consolidation is its going to happen with super nutritious substrates regardless of whether it's in fruiting conditions or not. So for brf cakes we keep it in the jar to prevent undue moisture loss while it consolidates.
With bulk there is little worry about moisture loss, a field capacity bulk sub has a far larger water reservoir than brf cakes do.

That was sarcasm, the name on the syringe doesn't guarantee that only potent genetics spring forth. Maz are just as likely as anything else to put out bunk mushrooms. The problem is that you're extrapolating your experiences off of not enough information and it's showing your ignorance.
