That same germ plate pushed out a plate 'fin' mutation that I have on a separate plate just for funsies. I'm super excited to see what all these fruits look like!
My wife and I are decided on where to have our (very late) honeymoon and I'm arguing for Playa Uvita beach Costa Rica or Fiji so I can sneak some of these along 
Is the fin myc super wacky looking? Cloned several of the ones from the F1 and they looked a lot like what most would say is mold.
I only dropped it to a fresh plate a day or three ago so it's still a little early to tell. So far it's forming thin/translucent/wispy myc on most of it but one section looks like it will be normal. I'll keep you posted with updates as they come in

Cool. That one should be a real roller coaster.

Does anyone have experience with Averys Albino (Albino Cambodian)? I'll probably be harvesting a tub tomorrow or the next day and they're SO SMALL! They're maybe 2.5" tall with skinny stems and fat, perfectly round caps. They actually look quite a bit like a button.
The yield is going to be pretty dismal on this flush so maybe flush two will bring some bigger fruits? :shrugh:
@Nichrome - you called it, the 'plate fin' I transferred to a new plate is starting to show really wacky looking mycelium. I think I'll still throw it into a quart just to see what happens but I have very low hopes. All in the name of science!
I should probably stop drinking for the night - I've got a long SAB session that needs to get done tomorrow

I haven't had issues with AA
This was my most recent flush from a single mycoquart.

Are those AA+? Whatever I'm running is a true albino..and tiny. Looks like you perfectly teed down a golfball for a 5 wood lol. I'll sneak upstairs and grab a pic right quick

AA+
Albino Cambo (true Averys Albino)
I forgot to put a lighter in there for scale cuz I had to sneak to not wake up the wife but the albinos are about as tall as a mini lighter - maybe about 6-8cm. The caps are opening crazy fast though so I'll definitely be chopping most of them down tomorrow

As much as I like the looks of Avery's Albino I would never grow it again. It's like an extremely dense forest of tiny little fruits with very weak, wonky, hollow stems. Such a huge pain in the ass to harvest. Not worth it. I grew it out several times and it always behaved that way. Someone did a kiddie pool outdoor grow a while back and that was the only time I've seen it produce substantial fruits.

Hey, hope i am not barging in, but i have a question. This might seem moronic to some and some might do it themselves. But i have always mixed my sub and spawn and applied a pretty thick layer of spawn on top as a sort off ''protective layer'' that would then by covered by a final layer of sub. I can see what i was thinking at first, but in recent months i've stoped doing that. Could this top layer lead to hard blobbing, as the top of the substrate is too nutritious ? Could it lead to bacteria ? What do you think ?

I've never heard of anyone running a thick layer of spawn on top of the substrate before. If the spawn was "iffy" then a big layer of it near the top would of course cause some fruiting issues.

What sandman is saying is a frosting layer and what karlinator3000 is talking about is laymixing.. I recently did a laymixed mak tub where I used a p9 1” compressed layer as the top over the grain layer and it beat out 2 other tubs (1 cased and one regular mixed w/1/4” compressed TL) done with the same culture and spawn amount.
I think using the thick compressed layer was key and would (I think) give enough distance from the grain layer to reduce blobbing but I’ll have to run more tubs. Let us know if anyone else does it

Hey faht since you're here how do you run your Gandalf? I gave mine a heft top layer and I think it's stalling hopefully I can get a plate pin so I don't have to start from spore again
edit: spawned on 3/27 and it hasn't so much as peeked through the top layer (1:1 with an extra 1 quart cv in a standard 6 quart shoebox) maybe I'm just impatient

I was told/do no top layer or anything.. just mix up spawn and bulk.. seems to work best but I just saw Bigfoot do a 1/4” compressed layer I think that looked to do pretty well.

Hey y'all just to give everyone a heads up. I live in true agricultural country. Corn, soy, wheat, oats etc.
I just had breakfast with a bunch of local farmers and wanted to let everyone know that if you have the means it might be best to buy a good amount of grain now. Fertilizer and pesticide costs are up well over 100% expected to hit nearly 200% by mid summer. Not to mention diesel prices. These guys are expecting grain prices to double to quadruple this coming season. A couple of the smaller farmers weren't even sure they'd be able to operate as there margins are pretty thin now. Meaning of course potential shortages.
Not trying to be a doomsayer just saying it might be worth picking up a few extra bags sprinkling DE in them and storing in some rodent resistant totes. These guys have been at this for years. They are dead serious about it being a rough one.
Also buy your garden soil, seeds, compost, and fertilizers if you can they expect a pretty massive shortage.

I feel like such a moron 
I had a MS agar dish that somehow ended up unlabeled. Don't know what spore print it came from. But I fruited it and got a really cool phenotype, with these pale yellow caps that have a nice blue hue at maturity. I took a spore swab from a nice specimen and put it to agar, but I really wish I knew what strain these were!
