Very excited to “hear” you will be sequencing the Komodo Islands Pan Cambodginiensis,
Tree Frog

As you may recall from a PM exchange, a therapist I supply told me the Komodo had a uniquely therapeutic effect on a person with chronic pain.

Having a good sense of the DNA sequence and where it sits relative to others would be a good first start. A full assay of the alkaloid profile would be even more helpful.

Thank you for all the research you do and the cultivation skills you share.

I usually let them colonize the casing. They never thicken up and choke themselves like cyans in my experience.

Kept the lid on loose in the fruiting chamber until pins set.



These were the last trays I ran without a lid prior to pins.  The fruits were much thicker but the same sized tray only put our a couple of clusters.  And the substrate was much richer too.

Choke by what means, shut off humidity and vent 😳?

They're the same genetics.  Or at least, the same species.  Smelly had some that looked very similar to you earlier this winter.  Dark caps, small.

Anyway, these are all Coleville in different conditions.  Environment does a lot to how they express.











Edit:  Last night I was curious and searched my name and bisporus.  Over 10% of my posts are about bispo

Thank you so much for info you are sharing again 👍🏻

Hey thank you for asking me about my favorite thing to talk about

It's grass not onions

Wheatgrass so pretty thick blades. That tray fought cobweb mold too the whole time, so I went overboard on the grass. But it was my first experiment.

And yeah I like growing them with grass, it's certainly makes managing the casing easier.  Also speeds up pin time quite a bit.  But it also makes harvesting more finicky.

These aren't even cased, just top dressed with coir and compested manure, and sprinkled with rye grass seed.



And here you can see the white one got a little bit more light and thus more evaporation.  All the same tray.

My first grow took four weeks to pin   Also middle of winter.

Now I average more like two weeks.  But I quit counting probably a year ago.

Good management of the casing helps a lot though.  I'm sure over watering, and then drying out was part of why my first run took so long.

Wait wait. So trop is a cyan, that means PHV is a cyan cross too?

visually PHV looks identically like syans

Mine had pretty, bell-shaped caps, more so than cyans. I really enjoyed the trip. But yeah very cyanish looks
