UPDATE:

So the fruit matured, dry weighed about 100x the 5mg of mea used, so its clearly getting at least some nutrition from the coir!
The myc looks weird af, it felt like plant roots attached to the fruit

I wonder if potency is affected.

It works! How bout that!

Also, my predicition was close with "a couple small fruits". Looks like it was one medium sized one

That's awesome. Think about it. When Psilocybe Cubensis fruits in nature it is a few spores and a couple of clamp connections and boom fruit because of evaporation.
This follows the same path My Grain-less Coir grow is still healthy so far 2 days in and I got clean agar growth on the sub.

Toc AGAR plate. Made a bunch of punches for more inoculation points and then ended up dumping the whole plate in the tub. Hoping the Mycelium colonizes the top of the tub before the mean green sets in.

lol I was dumping out old lc last week to make new ones and remembered this so I dumped one into some coir. Nothing grew but the lc was like 6 months old and sitting around in 80+ temps.
That’s a long time between flushes but I guess it’s gotta do a lot of work to collect enough nutrients.

Yeah for sure. In my case, i only used 3cc of lc, which contained exactly 5mg of LME

Yeah im surprised!
Why not? 
Its already put out dry weight of about 200x the dry weight of the LME used in the lc (5mg), so i think it more than confirms yhay coir is nutritious enough to provide the majority of the nutrition required to fruit (which is a surprise to me)
Ofc its far from ideal, the same jar with grain would have probably put out a half ounce by now. Probably same if i used more LME too (rather than the bare minimum i used in the lc). But it does seem to be getting its nutrition from somewhere besides the 5mg lme in the lc

I dont think it's argued that coir has no nutrition, but that it has very little: which seems to be confirmed here, cool... it DID fruit, but it did NOT fruit well... neat experiment, but only confirms the need for additional nutrition for economical (time and space mostly) results

There are tons of people that say "coir is not nutritious and all of the nutrition is supplied by the grain"
My experiment wasnt intended to prove anything, definitely not that coir can support prolific fruiting without grain
As stated in the original post, my goal was go determine HOW nutritious it is, by comparing the fruit output to the LME used
Definitely wasnt attempting to show that coir could support prolific fruiting alone or that grain wasnt needed for efficient grows (im dumb but not that dumb lol)
Whole point was to figure out how much of a fruits nutrition is supplied by coir vs grain, in an environment where there is very little grain (5mg LME)
Quote:

Well yeah we already knew that, the experiment wasnt designed to show otherwise. It also confirmed that water is required for myc to grow lol..
what i was investigating is how much fruit development beyond the weight of grain (LME) and water could be supported by coir alone. And the answer appears to be at least 200x the weight of LME, which is WAY more than i would have guessed
