Easiest Strain To Grow in Grain?

I am about to order a mycobag with a grain substrate and I want to know what would be the best Psilocybe to grow in a grain ready to grow bag?

Any. Just some colonize faster then others... but they do that on any substrate. Eqs and Cams have always been fastest for a friend of mine.

Are the ready to grow bags as easy as they say they are can you really just inject the spores into the bag and just wait for them to grow, or do you have to do anything special for them?

This is my route I'm taking. I ordered some bags. I've come to find out that it's true, you can just inject the bags, and thats it! you ofcourse need to take care of the incubation, keeping it in the dark... giving it the amount of light it needs...
people say it is much better if you case your bags instead of fruiting in the bags themselves, and that you will get a better yield. I'm going to do casing in some tin pans and set them in a rubbermaid container, easiest way to case and should do better than bags alone!

I am with mexican, because thats what I had, from making a spore print to prematurely casing some of it this week. And although I've pretty much ignored most of the major rules about sterility found on this site, it seems to refuse to not grow or contaminate. Still a while to go though.. I don't doubt the forces of darkness will somehow daub shit all over my parade in the next couple of weeks.
Ah good healthy British pessimism.
Actually I wanted to ask about casings too.. I did it with just vermiculite..is there a HUGE difference to be had with the fancy stuff I coulnd't find or be buggered to fiddle about with down here?

If your lucky and KISS... mabey. But that can go with almost any strain when using a dark syringe, 85-86F incubator, and good shaking.

23 days from innoculation to picking is blazing fast if using a quart of grain and casing, but i doubt that is what that 23 day quote is refering to.
you can easily make any strain fruit in less then 23 days, just use less substrate.
12 half pints filled with beer and coffee soaked popcorn were innoculated (6 differnt strains), incubated and all were fully colonized within 2 weeks. and im sure if you used g2g you could shave off a few days.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -Al Einstein
