3rd flush of Semperviva (AKA Subtropicalis, AKA Hoog var. Convexa)

Great job! It should keep going for a long time.

Good to be back and great to see familiar faces.

Sorry about the loss Mycorry but I know you'll rebuild that cultural diversity in no time.

Not much to contribute right now. Lots of test cultures of various exotics going. Here's an agar test dish of P.papuana fruiting. These are the black/wavy phenotype. Specimens have been cloned ready for a bulk grow.

IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU BOB! I though I had lost so many homies

Thanks, it's honestly been really frustrating on my side. On the bright side, I am switching to a new sealed type of box for fruiting chambers which should solve most of my moisture and dryness issues! So I guess my success will be postponed until Juneish, maybe later.

Those Paups look beautiful! That is one of the two Paup phenos I have been looking for. The fuzzy webbing on the cap is something I haven't seen in any of my own fruiting, it must be because you are not stressing them as much as I do. Is it a clone or did you fruit a bunch of separate germinations?

Shout out to whoever suggested the remedy for stalled cultures (mycorry I think?).  I had three different stalled zap cultures.  Scraped off the casing, 20 minute dunk and recased.  One to two weeks later, Bam!  All three put out a new flush.



Bob, those velvety black papuana are incredible.  Can't wait to see the bulk version!

Alaska.  Got an update on the semis

^looking forward to an update as well!


I have 2 pots of them outside now. 1 seeded with grass and one with clover. We are right in their temp range now where I'm at. Probably wont see anything but it'd be pretty cool if one or 2 popped up. FIngers crossed.

My LC finished and hit a few pf cakes. They are colonizing nicely - and WAY faster than straight grains (WBS in my case). Planning to try a few things... in ground, cased and left outside, and in my jcm fruiting chamber in the basement after cold shock in the fridge.

Here are my two pots



Also, fantastic grows above!

It's certainly never boring to hear about continued efforts. Alaska somehow were able to germinate prints from a collection I spent 6 months on just to establish a viable culture on agar, no dice.
