Well, no one else answered this. I’m gonna say based off of its growth. If it stops growing for a day or two, gather it.
TC’s let me know if there is a better way.

The other advice to see when they stop growing is good. "Normal" looking fruits Are usually a little bit firm when you harvest but when they are over grown they'll get soft.

With unusual genetics the typical harvest guidelines don't always apply.  Its really up to you but I would harvest those now.

How long are brf cakes able to fruit? My first cakes, which started pinning almost two months ago, are still fruiting, with the exception of one that got the trich treatment, and another two that got some brown colouration, bacteria or some undesirable fungus most probably. Temps are around 20-24°C. I mean, I don't complain, and they are not fruiting as much as they did, but still.

How do people get their agar wedges into the grain when transferring to jars? I try to shake but it just likes to get stuck to the lid lol. I would shove it in with the scalpel but I am worried about contam.

Just wait for that sucker to plin and T the plins. To me it looks like there are incompatible or destructive individuals in that colony. There is discord within the group.

If you make LC from that culture and let it age/mature for a while, then drip some on a new plate, the culture will likely "break" and reveal coherent sectors. Then it is an easy transfer of the stuff you want. Breaking a tricky culture is handy.

if they atarted pinning almost two months ago then that is quite some time i would say. its usually 5-10 days before the second flush and 10-20 for flush 3. but 2 months just sounds like a long time to me. if you are still getting fruit then good. what number flush are these cakes on?

thanks nichrome i hope you are well man

heres what i was thinking about this whole thing-
i understand there are distinct mating characteristics of different monokaryons or monakaryotic hyphae within individual specie, iirc some psilocybe sp. have hundreds, many of which are incompatible. i wonder what specifically makes particular dikaryotic strains ¨incompatible.¨ within the context of an agar culture like that.

I have no idea about number of flushes mate, I just dunk a cake that just fruited, if I judge that it lost enough weight, and put it again in the water tub. I can't say exactly, but I got about 80gr dry from 12 cakes till now, but I don't think they will produce much more. When they were put in their FC the temps were a bit lower, so maybe they took a bit more time in the beginning? Not super important ofc, I was just curious.

no problem at all man; i havent done cakes in some time ill admit. i did them in 2008-2009 and then again in 2021-2022 with good initial success.
I know they take longer to colonize but i dont remember the fruiting data.

Like on the outside of the cap?

Or do you mean filling up the inside of the cap with alcohol and storing the needle that way?

First is no, second is maybe and wholey unnecessary.

What is the gnarled mutation on the upper stipe of some strains of cubensis? Nutcracker, JMF, sometimes thrasher and melmac. It seems to occur mostly in albinos but not always. The upper stipe gets thicker than the bottom and develops a gnarled wood texture. Anyone know anything about that?

My current list of traits is:
Crinkly caps
Sporeless
Bluing caps/gills
Leucism
Albinism
Fasciation (I believe enigma is a strong fasciation)
Gnarly wood texture
Fuzzy umbo
Height
Proportion (thick or thin)
Density (solid stipes vs stipes with thin walls)
Potency
