This Is Cool-How Albinos Came About

Ive been digging into the old archives from 19, 20+ years ago just out of curosity of how all this craziness got started. Ive stumbled upon a mirror of the site where PF tek came from and the guy who made it describing how he made albinos "once used a flourescent blacklight to grow PF strain shrooms. It seemingly worked as good as regular plant aquarium style flourescent lights. But something terrible happened as a result. The PF shrooms started to sprout out little white mushrooms without spores. Also along with the pure white sporeless mushrooms, normal looking PF's grew along with PF's that appeared to be part normal with albinoism traits (white patches and diminished sporulation). The shrooms were grown under the blacklights 24 hours a day and the lights were hung very close to the terrariums. What happened was that the intense constant glare of the UV rich light damaged the spores and caused the albinoism. Basically said, the UV killed the shrooms because eventually they stopped fruiting.
These following links have the story. UV rich light is considered instrumental in mutation formation and it is never good."
Heres the link if u wanna dive in urself: http://www.fanaticus.com/albino.htm
This ish is neat. All the OGs on here must have some cool stories about how all of this has rippled throughout the world. Id love to read a comprehensive history on shroomery and all the key players that brought it together and developed these strains and teks we all use and love today. U guys are badasses
This might be a neat find to try out too unless yall figured out the blacklight had nothing to do with it. Is that the key to unlock the super rare albino trait? o.0
If any of the OGs have any cool links to neat reading id love to go down any rabbit hole u wanna show me. Especially big historical events playing out in real time or strains being announced for the first time or super butterfly effecty drama ect.

That story is almost assuredly a fabrication

i mean... it comes straight from the guy who made PF tek apparently.

Ever read the Bible? Apparently some guy parted the oceans and managed to get a rock to pour water.

Doesnt sunlight have a lot of UV light? Or is it a particular wavelength or something that doesn't exist in sunlight? If so how come people using window lighting or outdoor mushrooms don't exhibit this?

Pretty sure it's a single spectrum UV and is used on far higher levels than what would be seen in nature hence the mutation, well that's my assumption.

The ozone layer filters out most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

As I recall the ancient legends... lol... it was fairly common to be using black lights in an aquarium to grow in the 70's-90's.
I was recently trying to use motor oil to cause mutation but I just made the mycelium die lol

You could use vasoline if you want petroleum influenced mutation, I've read that petroleum contamination in fungus leads to mutations!
Pretty sure that albinoism is just a luck of the draw thing. Albino babies pop up all the time on random subs/cakes, about once a week on Reddit you see posts of people asking if the white ones among normal looking ones are okay to eat.

Yea no shit. But PF has a huge history of outright lies

Most of the Vendor spores from the past are lies. Like the old "Blue Meanie Cube" it was sold as a cross between a Blue Meanie and a Cube, but it was just a Cube with a blue ring phenotype around the rim. There are tons of snake oil salesman out there trying to find a new way to market stuff.
Anyone have any Creepers? Anyway I think Albino's are a natural genetic mutation. Don't think someone made them with UV light or snake venom.

I am sure an Albino is a genetic mutation developed to deal with selection pressures. Just like Rattlesnakes starting to loose their rattles because of predator's hunting off the snakes that do shake them.
