Was reading a thread about cloning rehydrated fruits, apparently it is easier than people think. If I take a careful tissue sample from the middle of the biggest fruit I was able to grow, could I try to inoculate some jars with this?

Most times I've seen that it was with cubes. Pans are so small their stipes dry to practically nothing. Getting a sample from the center might be difficult.

Some of those bispos look similar to what I was growing, maybe I got bispos afterall like TF originally suggested. A lot of the other pics I see make them look different though.

I rarely clone them but when I do it's water agar for the tissue recovery and a minimum of one cabin to catch ride along bacteria.

Faht has a nice write up for grabbing center tissue that can work well with most phenotypes of cyans (though there can be some variance in stipe structure even within just this one species).

But that wouldn't work with a dried sample.

The pins look like they could be but the fully grown fruit does not.

I believe it's subgenus panaeolina.  I.e. related to cinctulis, but possibly a different species depending on when and where it was found.  Without microscopy or a better bioassay from properly dried fruits who knows

I have yet to grow anything other than bresadolomyces (and the inactive species punjabensis).  But I may have to do an outdoor bed of cinctulis this year.

Nice find

  same cinctulus I colluded in wild but different weather conditions, light color when was a bit dry days a colourful was fall season, lots of rain and colder

I got that bug for finding wild genetics too. That last one is sexy.

Well fucking done my man, that's the dream there - a pasture of those.

I really want to find mushrooms in nature. I look sometimes but never found a active mushroom ever. Even found False Cesar Amanita parcivolvata several times in different states.

For some reason Panaeolus cyanescens Estro spores germinated faster than Panaeolus bisporus.

I hate my overfilled jars my TTBVI is almost ready to spawn just a couple more grain spots that need mycelium and I should get mushrooms pretty quick.

Im just going to do CVG casing I was planning on doing 72 hours with the lid on to not get fruits. I seen people saying Panaeolus cyanescens turns into mushrooms really fast I remember someone getting pins in 24 hours.

Is that usually the case with them should I not try to build heavy mycelium like with cubensis?

---

so far I have found three different active species, two on the north home, cinctulus or similar to the one we just discussed, pluteus salicinus couple times, and whole trip around Costs rica last end of October gave just cubensis an no any exotics unfortunately

After a number of frustrating attempts to cultivate pan bisporus, I recently tried my hand at cultivating a similar variety: South Africa Mystery. Much confusion over varieties ensued. From what I have researched, there are two different varieties similarly labeled. There is Mystery SA, which is reported to be quite similar to Weza. And there is SA Mystery (or SAM), which is said to be very similar to Pan Bisporus. The latter is the spore print I was supposed to have been provided with. If I post a photo of what I successfully grew, is there anyone who can tell the difference between the two? (Being a klutz, I have had difficulty posting pics before, which I why I ask before again attempting to post a photo)
