Is this weird? True albino and A+ from one cake...
    #27047618 - 11/19/20 04:04 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hey there shroomers,

I've just picked off the first flush of a trial BRF cake I had in my greenhouse while dialling it in. It did pretty well and got 14g dried.

I had bought a single Albino A+ print from an Australian supplier and from what I've read this is shouldn't a true albino as they drop dark spores while a true albino will have clear.

So I was a bit suprised when I took 2 prints and one was clear and one dark. On further inspection I noticed something I should've earlier...the gills on one cap are dark and the other white. I've since had a look at the others and seems to be about 50 / 50.

Is this normal for Albino A+?

Cheers, az

aa+ is leucistic not true albino ie drops dark spores.. u found a TRUE albino should clone it ! see if those clear spores are viable!  def not 50 50 common for true albinos in AA+ from my understanding at least.

Having sterile fruits in a flush is not at all uncommon. One is a sterile cap,( or a late spore dropper)...the other is a regular, fertile cap.

It's not a true albino, sorry to be a debbie downer.. besides, theres coloring to it.

Just a sterile fruitbody.

Thanks for the replies.

I thought it might be too good to be true and after returning last night I took a closer look and seems you're right... no clear spores on the print, instead no spores at all.

I've been doing a little searching on the topic (search term sterile is a bit ambiguous though) and seems that sterile caps can have a few advantages but I can also see there are different reasons for this to occur. My greenhouse reaches some pretty high temps (up to 34C/93F) at times and I assume this is what's caused it.

Would it possible to clone this trait if it was caused purely by environmental issues?

Thanks again.

Too late to clone this one, he's all dried up now... but for future reference would like to know if the cause of the sterility is environmental not genetics whether cloning would actually produce 100% sterile fruit?
