Ah yeah that’s the stuff right there. That’s a nice cluster too.

Those thin snake-like ones with small caps look potent as hell to me. Almost remind me of pans or tamps more so than cubes.

(4th?) flush.
These things are weird. The first flush is always pitiful, then each subsequent flush gets bigger and better.
Some of the mushrooms have almost decurrent gills. This is such a strange one.

Never seen a germ plate like this. These Nats are something special.

Talkin about green spaghetti.. Im just picking my first ever batch of nats and have got that spaghetti noodle type that is a real bitch to harvest. No overlay which was nice. But I also kind of wanted to see that insanity for myself.

I noticed these ultra blue green types hiding in amongst the other "regular" looking nats and was wondering what was the opinion on them.
 
They look super potent and also grow a bit larger and thicker than the others. I'm thinking they are good print / clone material.
Bunch more pics incoming if I ever finish picking them ... such a pain. No way can I just take a knife across the top of the sub for easy harvesting.

People love the natal snakes, they say they are potent, the trip is friendly/nice/mellow, and the visual aspect is different to cubes.
When you get a culture like that, also look for the bigger wrinkly snakes. Im still searching for one with a full stem, and they seem to show up alongside the snakes.
Ive also seen the snakes go fully erect, so there's some fae trick or conditions that can support them going erect.
Edit:
The snakes dont really have a strong grip on the substrate, i just lay my hand in and pull them naturally. Most of them comes off, and you can use the fact that they intertwine. I pulled a small sub today in one grip. One cap fell off, but who cares.

Forrester those look like they've got either lighter spores, or less of them (than normal) at that stage. Usually mine will have blacked-out the rest of the caps if I let them go that far.
It looks like these Natals still have ALOT of genetic variation, from what everyone's posting. I'm unofficially claiming the name "Green Mamba" for the bruised spaghetti pheno. I think it is very fitting, as the stipes will often just crawl across the surface as they grow, and tend to appear quite green. This snake species is also native to South Africa - and very potent. I couldn't possibly think of anything better except "spaghetti-and-mycblobs" (but it isn't as cool). Some of yall's flushes resemble a giant "mating ball" if interwound fruits, just beautiful.
Another tub is just about ready to start fruiting, I'll have some more pics for the thread soon but am running out of image-space on the account.

It does seem like we haven't figured out the rhyme or reason to predict when certain traits appear, so I guess it's the "wild" genetic variation being triggered to express itself in odd ways by the conditions of indoor cultivation. I am looking forward to planting a spent grow outside to see how the outdoor fruits compare.
I have two more tubs colonized right now, a multispore tub with no overlay and a clone tub with some (so far, short) overlay. The ms tub is fruiting and bruises green and heavy but fruits are, so far, upright. The clone tub, too early to say if the overlay will balloon or stay short.
I spawned another clone culture to a new substrate mix based on BrownBear's corncob tek: 5 parts pasteurized corncob pellet to 3 parts bucket tek coir, both have 10% calcium carbonate added by dry weight. Top layer is 2cm of all coir. Wish me luck!

I only printed & cloned green snakes for a few months, and after a while, things started to get a little wonky (2nd pic in my sig). I wonder if others will have similar experiences if they decide to select for that trait as well.

This is the only sort of full canopy ive managed to get out of natalensis so far. All are green snake too lol. My spores seem to be consistent with that.
On trait selection though, Ive got an interesting one I need to try and isolate out. Not sure if i will even be able to. anyway, i wonder if anyone else gets this? On second flush, the fruits will be very dense(some in pictures on my last post here) and almost like a king oyster stipe. Very dense and thick. Yesterday I harvest some of those same ones and they have grown what appears to be a taproot like structure at the base of the stipe. I guess proper term would be pseudorhiza. Only see on second flush fruits that are very short and thick.
Ill come back with pics of this tonight maybe. I have 7 tubs going , all different MS.
ill hush now here is pics of that canopy

Any ideas? 🙈

I would use the last one.
The middle two could be good but they just look sketchy to me.

 It also looks like you are using low-nutrient plates. I use pure GWA and the growth is crazy. Yours looks pretty weak in comparison, except the last plate.
