Someone here said that isn't as much of an issue for cubes as with other shrooms. Anyone remember who?
Also, how come that huge natural fungus colony in Oregon doesn't wilt? It's all clones of clones, isn't it? It's supposed to be the largest organism in the world.

Ok so is it bad practice to give them away? Or maybe include a disclaimer? Didnt realize my sw syringe was so precious...

I feel like less of an asshole now. So the question becomes what can we do about it?
Where do stable APE spores come from? Is there some sort of exclusive culture?

In the past I have swabed APE fruits and given them away thinking nothing of it. Now Im starting to believe these are destined for failure, as in they wont produce APE fruits. In fact one person has reached out with a shoebox that was growing regular PEs. Is this true? I always assumed APE syringes were made with swabs.
Have I sined?
Wait? So how do they get the syringes not to revert? I'm glad you mentioned this because I was about to take some APE swabs in a few days once my pins mature.. now I think I need to read up a little more on reverts and APE swabs in general
Edit.. milkboy beat me to it, and he worded it better.

Yeah Nectar I don't know fr fr, I'd be interested in seeing something conclusive, I've never pushed it to extremes to actually know for myself. It may just be information I've blindly believed because it sounded about right along side the continuous grain expansion bit.
As for the Oregon colony, they drop spores to continue the life cycle/expansion like that. Cloning is a human/cultivator interaction with mushrooms.

You aren't just using them for microscopic use only??
An accurate disclaimer with all spore giveaways would be:
"These are free mushroom genetics, tweaked over and over in people's closets for hundreds of generations. They are as far from shrooms growing in the wild as a teacup poodle is from a timber wolf, even though a poodle and a wolf are basically the same species."
"But unlike the poodle, these spores are almost guaranteed to quickly throw up mutations and reverts. Please enjoy these free crazy spores, no guarantee implied."
Beyond that, any Penis Envy or anything derived from Penis Envy (like the APE Milkboy was mentioning) is more likely to have some inconsistent results.

stupid question but what is "harboring endospores" so you can get away with not presure cooking rice and popcorn at 15 psi because they dont harbor endospores but what does that mean. arent there mold spores all over the air, so loading them up in jars in open air would mean spores would get into jars right?

A lot of people use words for microscopic things they have never ever seen. It is easy to blame symptoms on things you can't see, a lot easier than actually figuring out why you are seeing what you are.
Endospores in grain, enmeshed contamination, blah blah. Nobody is talking about arsenic levels in grain hulls, or phytic acid content, or anything like that. The go to is mold, bacteria, or magical endospores. Mold, bacteria, and endospores are indeed real but things are a lot more complex than any of us know and it is a deep dive to try to understand. A deep deep dive. I have seen a lot of things and still don't know diddly and make mistakes all the time.
A brain is a great instrument. Impacts add up over time.

In addition to all that Nicrome added here, I think endospores get mentioned more than these other vectors because of an old, wrong tek.
There was a debunked tek people did on here a decade or more ago where they let grain sit to "grow the endospores" so they could "kill them once they're growing", and some teks did this more than once.
I think some of this is still propagated because some people wrote books that were cutting edge 10 or 15 years ago ago, are still in circulation, at least as PDFs, plus some videos on DVD and YouTube, but are horribly out of date with best practices now, even by the people who created them.
None of that is needed. 2 hours at 15 psi in a PC (plus a little more time if you're far above sea level) kills it all.

A sufficient and correctly done Autoclave/PC cycle WILL kill endospores
endospores DO NOT need to be "softened" "soaked" "hatched" "germianted" etc... to be killed

I think that was the idea behind fractional sterilization. Certainly all you need is to PC them, but if you don't have a pressure cooker that's what this method is for. I've used it before I've had a PC and it somewhat worked. Still got bacteria most times, but the myc was usually able to make it.

Same is true of the largest aspen forest too.
Cloning wasn't the right term for me to use. But wouldn't senescence be at play as an organism spreads out as far as the mushroom or aspen tree organism? Both seem to be doing great.

In some situations it working sometimes, is all you can hope for anyway. I talk to folks regularly who don't have access to things like pressure cookers and stuff like that but they need to make it work anyway, so they can eat or make money to eat or just find solace in life's ocean of trouble.
I fully support whatever you can do to make something work even if it is not ideal.
Shit, one time I rigged a coffee straw to a turkey baster with some masking tape and elbow grease and noc'd a stack of pf cakes. Worked like a charm. I can't say that is in any way a best practice but it was the best practice at the time because it worked.

Got a pressure cooker yesterday on sale, only 12psi, so maybe 45mins for the 500ml media bottle of agar?
Then i think it is let to cool a little ( not sure in a PC, how long that is for? ) so i can pour it in the SAB to the petri dishes, wrap with cling wrap and letthem cool in the SAB, then next day inoculate with wild cubensis spares, wrap with parafilm store in pantry either in torte or open glad bags
Then clean up agar and get ready for the next steps

Im doing all my sterilization in an instant pot and ive tried wbs but got contam so i always go overkill with agar and grain but im asking cus ive gotten contaminated plates after a 90 minute cycle. They were no pours too but im now starting to think something jus happened to get in. Thanks for the knowledge nichrome

If senescence is a big problem with cube clones, wouldn't all Enigma suck?
From what I can tell, every Enigma culture is a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone etc etc, unless the person who first made it is sending out thousands of cultures.
