Re: Mystery #1 species test grow [Re: Lithop] * 2
    #29290533 -

Thank you Lithop 😾I like your user name too by the way!

Update, Mystery #2 is now on agar!!! If it goes good again, I will
make a new thread for M#2 and link it in here, vice versa đŸș

She's still giving a few flushes here and there, amazing performance
especially from MS genetics (multispore on agar)




Here is the shoeby (shoe box) of Mystery #1 same substrate as before
(manure compost, coir, gypsym, vermiculite, sand, AND hard wood pieces)
I have to check what specific type of wood it is. It's from a sponsor here.

Will eventually SCVG case her and then fruit the shoebox.
Attempt at cloning/isolating Mystery #1 on agar was done today, with
inoculating agar with Mystery #2.

It's Christmas in July for me! :awesanta:

:bender:

Update from today! now we have two Mystery #1 side by side! Tampanensis yes!! đŸ˜»


The shoebox with the smaller newer darker pins, is the newest shoebox.
It went agar>grains>manure substrate>casing layer.
Same everything except the extra sand in that casing layer. đŸ„ł



Mystery #1 last shoebox until just more flushes and waiting for
Mystery #2, this is a lot of fun! That shoebox was cased
with vermiculite and the substrate is has a bit of lumber also.

I appreciate the friendly words everyone! đŸ„ł Everyday is a party!
All photos from this post are from July 24-25 of 2025.

So same Mystery #1 spore print, same genetics, same tampanensis, same
casing layer except for ES, Extra sand you can't forget extra sand.
It's not CVG for them lately it's ESCVG, you can't forget the Extra sand XD
"It's tegrity" hahah


I feel the mystery still isn't fully solved. These two shoe boxes are the same
except don't forget ES (you can't forget ES with tamps lol)



Seriously not sure why though, they're the same, the right shoebox with ES
has extra sand okay but it even now has spore formation, it actually
drops spores unlike the red capped twisty stipe Mystery#1 and the tall skinny
stripeless stipes and sorta different cap color. It's even forming sclerotia on the surface popping out, the right ES M#1 shoebox.


:bearbreakdance:

Also random cubensis Thai Elephant Dung last flush.

So I got some COS for a steady flow of calcium, going to try casing these
with now the same mixture but with this added. Also trying not too
add too much nutes (haha remember that word?) to the mix.
Wish me luck while I wait for everything still colonizing/inoculating.
Any recommendations or anything? 🙀🍕


Random Mystery #1 shots.


Also found a peanut while mixing casing/substrate lol someone was hungry???đŸ˜č

Yeah someone might have been hungy and angy from it. So also Mystery #2.
So Mystery #2 mycelium is far slower, one plate is still finishing up.
But one is now on popcorn, so still waiting.
One M#2 plate, please ignore
the jab marks from the inoculation knife (couldn't find my loop:crazy:)

I will do my best thank you so much 😎 also just love photographing them inspired by other users here who document mush-grows! ...and yeah I suppose so hahaha XD


August 18 2025
Long pause guys apologies but still here
So here's one of the two shoeboxes left, the other was thrown out but
this one's still going from the previous pictures. The "paskettied" shoeboxes. Might let it go
a little longer for another flush or until it contaminates then harvest sclerotia.

I was able to grab only two or three prints from Mystery #1 incase anyone wanted
to try out this species (free) too if documented! These being grown from a print, timing was tricky
when trying to print since not all the caps drop spores. M#1 on a few agar plates right now :laugh:


Mystery #1 Tampanensis is seriously an exotic and beautiful species, you truly appreciate
their beauty when photographing them and harvesting them. Take a few moments for them
to captivate your sights!


Also started these a few weeks back, going to work with these when they finish;
Mystery #2. 😗 The print that is another stone producer, this mycelium looks a
bit whispier and also seems to be noticeably slower with colonizing.
Please wish me the best again maybe please anders, hah XD and I'm so stoked!!!
There is no Mystery #3 as far as I know then the mystery game might be done!

I think so lol yes oodles of noodles amounts of pasketty đŸ˜č nice
but yeah I think it needed far more FAE and love and care and watering,
wondering how they would have been otherwise, I had to leave home for a bit.
Probably caps wider and bigger and stipes less scwiggly more straight, possibly! I noticed the next flushes M#1 got shorter and less abundant
HOWEVER the specimens are very "meaty" and thick flesh!
August 18 2025

@Boxtrotalpha Yes they truly are đŸ˜» have me blushing like a school girl XD
Aug. 18 2025

All these photos post recently are from ONE of the "skettied" shoeboxes.

Thank you Actionsaur :cool: they DO give sclerotia but not many photos of them. I think so lol yes oodles of noodles amounts of pasketty đŸ˜č nice

Aug. 9th 2025 Mystery #1

I have to throw the last shoebox shown soon, it smells like a stinky baby
now and its being going for like a month :shocked: might skip the truffle
harvest from the stinky substrate one. But no worries I had some agar
and prints because Mystery#1 is fun but exotically gorgeous too :ooo:

Mystery number 1 is also a "surfacer"  having surface truffles and in substrate ones.
M#1 truffle beside small toy box.
A different ATL7 isolate (a gift called FM) had little to NONE sclerotia that I could find and none on the surface.

[Aug.19th] So much fun I just had to start moar!

I also remembered still ONE last print labled ATL#7
so will grow out the ATL#7 print last before Ochra eventually.
So THEN the mystery game might be over! Mystery #2 is still colonzing!

Thanks everyone so far for the fun words and comments!
Thank you @anders I truly do need as many positive vibes sent to me from you and others!

Will update with Mystery #2 and photos when and if possible! 😎

Still a mystery to me, kinda has ATL#7-type Tampanensis vibes to me according
to photos from users posts here that is.

If using manure compost I recommend harvesting 3 weeks, no longer.
M#1 still seems to be a fruiter. M#1 can also make truffles.
Afraid to harvest more, wood, grain, and compost smells bad after sitting for like 4-5 weeks.
Dirty diaper scent ahoy! :lol:

The potency is good for Mystery #1 the fruits and sclerotia are great, mild though a bit
compared to ATL#7 from a sponsor but that is sometimes a good thing! Only slightly more mild
or needing a bit more than the usual dose (from the sponsor ATL7). Which is A-Okay with me! :laugh:



With Mystery #2 now, one quart jar of popcorn with 1:2 spawn to substrate in shoebox.
The substrate consists of manure compost mostly then,
Vermiculite fine and medium coarse combination
Gypsym
Hardwood lumber (sterilized crumbs)
Coconut Coir
Sand
CaCO3 (small amount)
Na 2, Ca, K 2 (small amount)


After mixing spawn and sub recipe, a thin layer
of hardwood and compost sprinkled over the exposed surface grains.
Hydrated then back to colonizing.


Random notes:
IME DO NOT add too much sand or add a lot as filler for the substrate
because the mycelium can and will avoid growing on it if so.
The other jar of Mystery #2 was GTG transferred safely (grain to grain).
Mycelium is far more delicate it seems.
Also the mordenite is as hard as a rock and I need to figure out how to
slightly grind it finer. Did not bother breaking up the carbonate much at all either this time unfortunately.

Boy M#2 (Mystery #2) sure does grow slow IMO.
GTG transfer accomplished as promised, 1qt into 4 qt.
Approx. 2 table spoons per qt.


...so yes g2g can be done with this species!
and here's the shoebox previously mentioned I spawned when doing the grain to grain transfers. The transfers took about three weeks to fully colonize.

Not too many erupting at the moment but no biggie :laugh:

What I have for Mystery #2 so far:



Looks sorta like Mystery #1 except lighter caps and slower growing!
I spawned a monotub of Mystery #2 that is colonizing now and waiting on that.
:cheers:

Mystery#2 [Re: Wedgie] * 1
    #29347384 -

Just an update. I have a feeling agar is going to be useful for isolating
this variety. Pretty singular scattered fruits, a few clusters.



I don't  wanna update too often and fast for all my loving watchers on
this thread. That way you guys don't get bored fast!



Pure verm for the casing layer this time with #2.
I also started a mini tub of them, Mystery#2 that is of course!

So it took these fellas a bit, close to two weeks for pinning then fruits.
I also took a few prints for anyone wanting to try out M#2 for fun in the future.
Also, a few things I noticed with Mystery #2...
1.) Slightly on the slower side
2.) Prints slightly darker/heavier; easier.
3.) Caps are slightly lighter than Mystery #1 tamps.

Pinning, Sept. 26

Fruits seemed smaller this time, maybe the lighting was not strong enough
or inadequate FAE this time.


The casing layer, again consists of coir, gypsym, verm, CA CO2 (calcium carbonate [a bit]), sand, and a bit of Na2,Ca,K2 (Mordenite) I know a bit over kill :dead:
But I'm having fun experimenting.



Big loving thank you to the user here that donated and the fun mystery
grow-it-out-find-out game! đŸ„łđŸ˜Ž I'm thinking the next second wave/flush
will be way better, I'm hoping :lol:

    #29369729 -

So now it's time for Mystery #1 again and all it's twisty and odd glory!
Lovely! Again, this is #1 not #2.
Oct 9 2025

So I'm going go ahead and say this could be like last time if I'm not mistaken.
M#1 has these kind of fruits, then the later flushes look more like normal fungi, like these guys

Aug. 18 2025

The casing layer for the first set of pics is the following (again)
Vermiculite fine and medium coarse combination
Gypsym, Coconut Coir,
Sand, CaCO3 (small amount), Na 2, Ca, K 2 (small amount) and Mordenite (a pinch; as filler)

The candy stripes on those are really cool. I've had some twisty tamps but never multicolored like that.

I also really like the pumpkin by the way. The mask is cute :smile:
