Damn those things are beautiful! If mine ever manage to colonize the thick top layer I gave them I hope they look just like those..

LPE(u?)
I took a clone of the biggest pointy cap one. Even though they're hollow stemmed and not PE like, I like their size and ability to fight bacteria. I mean that spawn was bad... I'd really like to see what a good clone tub can do. Actually I think they'd perform well in buckets so I may give that a shot for this one.
4g fresh was a nice micro/bordering on mini-dose this morning. Man I'm starting to really enjoy microdoses of fresh mushrooms...

I thought I had posted these odd balls in here but then I checked a few pages and I guess maybe I didn’t. I’ve grown many tubs of “normal APEU. Then every so often I’d see a short fat pheno. Well it wasn’t anything I did on purpose but I guess I must have transferred just the right sector of mycelium and I got this:

This was entirely accidental and no I didn’t clone it and I’m not sure if I have any plates of it around. It was a pain in the but to harvest… pretty low yield despite the “canopy” , if you can call something 1-2 inches high a canopy 🤣

Fuck yeah!!! I posted about these, I call them APEU-Chodes. Half of my first tub were these so I took clones and started trying to isolate with spore. Never made it past gen-1 because I moved and started going after pans. Swab those fuckers and isolate!

Re-read your post, you didn’t clone or anything! Bummer! I like these. They hit hard for cubes, just slightly above the potency of their brethren(APEU) imo.

So I’ve been working on this APEU culture for a few weeks now and all of my transfers have grown out like this. It’s been very fluffy and tomentose. I’m not sure how to handle this. All my transfers have been from the very outer edge as small as I can get it assuming the fluffiness is a contam. The growth is uniform and there does seem to be organized growth on the outer edge. Tonight I transferred to two new agar recipes; 8g LME 1g activated charcoal yeast; the other being oat boil water agar. We’ll see if I get any changes in the growth pattern.
My question is does this growth look concerning? Should I start over. This is the first PE variety I’ve grown and I’m also wondering if this is a trade of the variety, like how Rusty Whyte doesn’t really go Ryzo. What are your guys thoughts or suggestions?

No that’s a beautiful plate.
Some cultures are just tomentose.

Sick. I’m going to grain with it then. These spores were from a giveaway on here. Cleaned up super easy. That’s what you get when you stay off r/shrooms

No, it's not a possible contamination inside the fluffiness, that's just the description of the of the mycelium, it is very tomentose yet beautiful. The culture I grew out and used to inoculate was very tomentose also. I had a very clean culture, but the current situation I am experiencing is that it is a very slow culture. I'm not sure if that is anecdotal to my experience with this mycelium and others had a more aggressive response...? Here is the picture of my plate a couple days after the transfer, as you can see a very tomentose culture:

After I grew out the culture, I used it to knock up a couple jars, and again clean inoculation, clean growth, tomestose mycelium, but very slow moving colonization of the grains. I'm going to wait another day or two before I give them a shake, hopefully colonization speeds up after breaking up and increasing inoculation points. Here are my jars, and I must say APEU is looking might fine and sexy colonizing   

Just curious, did anyone else experience APEU as a very slow culture?

A beautiful explosion of APEU. I love how the hyphae beautifully fan out. I admire the beauty in this, bright white healthy beautiful mycelium.

Finally spawned my two shoeboxes of APEU. I did one regularly and did not put a liner at all. I barely even pressed the sides down like I do, but I was in a hurry with these. So that will probably be side pin city. The other I used a liner, much thicker depth of substrate, and I accidentally used too much for my psuedo casing, so I ended up putting a thick top layer. This hopefully won't hinder anything will it?
I already started a 12/12 light cycle - I found light never hurt and always has been beneficial. I'm not even going to unlatch the lids at all. Or does unatching the lids and leaving a gap for FAE initiate the pinning? Or will pinning start occurring on its own with the latches still locked and then at that pint unlatch the lids?

How are these coming along?
I was wondering if APEU/LPEU has the expected slow colonization as other PE varieties? Got some beautiful rhizo growth on my T1's and gonna see soon either way but was curious was to expect. Thanks guys!

These are actually taking much longer than expected... and this is my first PE variety I have ever cultivated. I'm starting to get a bit worried why things are taking so long. Is it known that APEU is very slow? They both seem to be a 100% colonized, it's coming up to 2 weeks since spawning to bulk. I would of expected knotting up or pinning by now, my surface conditions are dialed in correctly, I have beads of moisture on the surface. I'm just waiting for knotting to start occurring, but they both still have not 2 weeks out... I was waiting to unlatch the lids and set the lid on the latches when my pinset comes in and give them more of a gap for FAE, but should I do this now to initiate knotting/pinning? Or does it sound like I am still on the right track and this is typical for APEU?
I'm starting to get worried about the time this is taking and/if something else might be going on...

Well these APEU were definitely on the slower side for sure, but I got it done. This was my first PE variety ever, so now I know the amount of time to expect because I was starting to get worried. I ran two shoeboxes of this, but I lost both to mold. Luckily, the first shoebox had already fruited it's first flush, which was perfect timing, but I lost the whole second box. So I'm really sour that I only got one flush from one shoebox and then had to get rid of it, and I totally got nothing and lost the second shoebox altogether. What makes it worse was that this is the very first time I have lost a grow to contamination, it being mold and trich. And it makes it extra painful that it was with this beautiful variety. Maybe because it is slow like all PE varieties that mold and trich had more time to contam...? I'm not sure, but it definitely hurt with it being my first time losing something to mold and trich, especially with this beautiful variety. I only made out with one flush from one shoebox... However, I was not expecting any giant conkers from this, but for size reference these were the size of my forearm!!! I laid it out on my forearm, so take a look at your forearms, and you'll understand the size and magnitude of these things! I wish I would of taken a picture of that damn it!!! Anyhow, here is my APEU harvest! Shoutout to my fellow shroomerite Smartattack!!!

Yeah apeu is for sure much bigger than the average mushroom.
Mold just happens sometimes, particularly this time of year. That’s gotta be an ounce though so not a bad pull overall.

Man those sure look similar to my LPE. Still wondering if what I have isn't actually LPEU/APEU. It has none of the PE characteristics, grows fast, huge, and hollow stemmed.
What do you guys think? I don't even know what LPE is supposed to look like. Is it supposed to be PE like?

That’s Lpeu for sure.
There’s a guy on Facebook popping off about his “LPE” also but it’s just homestead PE with the lighter Melmak type caps. I don’t think a real leucistic PE exists.
