white mushrooms in my Golden Teacher monotub

Hi all, Im very new to growing and this is my first Golden teacher grow i did from a sporeprint. Grown on pasteurized cow poo, vermiculite and coco peat. I had some lovely clusters but also these white shrooms, some short and stumpy and some more elongated. i do understand that they could be albinos, but how is it they grow in one tub together? are there any benefits from having those? Are they more potent? if not then how do i ensure to only get the normal looking shrooms? PS....the outdoor photo shoot of that amazing cluster is produced by removing the cluster from the monotub and taken to a more natural setting...it didnt grow on the wood...https://www.shroomery.org/forums/images/icons/cool.gif

Not all spores are equal. A few albinos can get in and ruin the bunch Clone some tissue from the ones you want and re-incubate the mycelium in fresh grain to get consistent genetics, maybe.

Clone all of the varieties it produced, that's awesome.

I know a lot of ppl that would be super stoked to get some albinos pop up in there ms grows.. I’d clone those if I were you.. they’re just neat as hell

I've never seen anybody get albinos and ask how to get rid of them.

Ok 😊 thank you.... i will, but what is so special about them? Are they stronger? Size wise they really are little dwarf shrooms....

If all you care about is whether or not they're stronger you may be missing the excitement that other people feel when they experience new mutations. Nobody can tell how strong a mushroom is by what color it is, so only you can decide that.

Please understand that this is my first grow ever and I don’t have anything to compare it too. Im just curious and want to get answers why albinos are desired. I have not tried any of the mushrooms yet, hence it is not critical for me to judge them on strength... all I want Is to understand why this is happening. I don’t think I am missing any point just because I ask questions....

They look a lot different from the GT’s I grown before but I’m no expert:

The albinos are special genetics that many people hope to find. Most of them do not drop spores at least not full spore prints so sharing them is not as easy. If you clone them you can potentially isolate the genetics and grow tubs of just the white mushrooms.
 Besides the fact that it's a recessive gene nothing specific makes it better, or worse. You would have to test the clone to find out. The founder of PF cakes "considered the spontaneous appearance of this white variant (Pf albino) as a bad omen." Personally I like the cap to stem ratio though that might not necessarily be solely genetic. You are making a lot of us jelly that you got those genetics on your first grow.

the albino alone, check out that phenotype!

There's a few main reasons why you'd want to keep around mutants. 1) They could have above average potency even from multispore, like some Penis Envy varities which are also cubensis mutants. 2) It's uncommon, so if you manage to stabilize a mutant that produces good or consistent-looking flushes, you'd have just "created" a new variety of cubensis. This would be coveted by other hobbists not because of the "potency" but for the thrill of growing odd-looking mushrooms. Heck, I know I'd love to grow albinos of any variety that's made available. Needless to say, it'd be easier for you to trade for other spores if you got a novel variety to offer. 3) If it's a true albino, it's even more rare than leucistic. You should probably check if it drops spores and if they look white.
I wanna add that those "regular" cubes you uploaded also look different from what I'm used to with GT. Perhaps the entire spore batch is mutant? Good luck if you try to clone them!

That is an A+ mutate. I had a few of those in my GT spawns but was never able to get to replicate the same. Now I actually have the A+ strain and it is indeed that white. That looks more PE than GT.

Is that what white teachers are? Albino golden teachers?
