I'm not talking about the smell of mycelium,  but the fruit body,  mycelium smells nice,  but the fruit smells like shit.



Honestly mycelium doesn't have any distinct smells compared to a fruit, they smell the same since a fruit is only compacted myc



You obviously have not smelled many cubensis grows because there is a definite difference in the scent of fruit bodies and the scent of the mycelium. Cubensis mycelium smells exactly like store bought mushrooms and the fruit bodies have a farinaceous smell (like shit).

Edit: as far as the actual name of the compound that causes the smell in cubensis fruit bodies,  it may not have a name, yet. No one has been able to do any real research on them ever since they were outlawed in most countries back in the 1970's.

Farinaceous means smelling like grain or starch. If your cubensis smell like shit there is something wrong lol.

I believe (not certain) that a key source for mushroom smell is ergothioneine, an amino acid produced by many fungi and some bacteria species. Many animals incorporate it in specialized tissues, but it’s roles are poorly known to unknown, other than being an anti-oxidant. There could easily be more than just this one source, but it is a goid place to start.
