Some of my hispanica and Mex/A myc has yellowed like that, too.

About the bacterial contam: I germinated on a plate of soft agar by scraping a (very light) print with a flamed scalpel, then cutting through the agar. I cut three lines. The entire middle cut was covered with an opaque, 4mm thick blob of obvious bacterial contam, but a couple days later a few strands of myc emerged and escaped. The other lines also had some some clean myc growth. I transferred the cleanest bits here.

The bacteria didn't look anything like this plate, but I want to make sure it actually looks like zap myc and not mold or something else. Thanks.

Okay.

Following to my own question, I found good pictures of zap myc on agar here and here. My plate looks pretty similar to those in person.

Your print from this particular caps probably

Got some nerdo genetics in the pipeline, so

My print came from nerdo's giveaway, too. I'm not sure if that's what Foreighn2891 is referring to.

Well, that’s parent tray

Well, if you grew them, then: thank you!

second flush of mystery strain zapotecorum. Im definitely going to be cloning and taking spores this flush is purely to get the culture back.

Zapotecorum frustrated me in the past it seemed to be so slow and more tedious than cubensis.

After eating them I have a very deep appreciation for them. I dried all the first flush and didn't really let spores develop strongly because was frustrated with how long they take. I have changed my attitude honestly zapotecorum is all I need. The first flush is enough mushrooms for over half a year of use.

If I was growing for more than myself I would grow cubes because psliocybin to psliocybin I can produce more in a shoter time frame.

I did pull the root system or whatever the mycology term is and now its not giving much mushrooms but they still have weeks to go very large stems for the age (less than a week)

Have you ever had visuals from them? Personally I haven't much but felt a slightly calm relaxed feeling that reminded me of Amanita drunkenness. Amanita muscaria was far less psychedelic but somehow felt similar to the feeling I been getting with zapotecorum.

So far I only tried zapotecorum at night and it could be because im tired. On cubensis I have extreme difficulties sleeping and get overstimulated sometimes start shaking uncontrollably on higher doses and throw up. I also took extremely small doses if it was cubensis I wouldn't even have felt it.

Its strange Amanita pantherina was very powerful and not comparable to any Amanita muscaria experience I ever had not comparable to zapotecorum also DXM is the closest drug I can think of but still highly different.

my texolo from your giveaway, about 6 weeks on grain, spawned 11 days ago to coir

General question, I plan to case with verm, should I wait for primordia to case? or do it at 100%, perhaps I will have zap-mas in july
