Hmmm....but isn't this the color all P. cubensis have? At least the strains I grew do.....

yeah, it's really hard to tell. The darkest part of the stipe definitely looks like normal black/purple cube spores, but if you look right below the cap you can catch a hint of the red...
But those pics are of the crossed strains right? So those aren't the final product....

Update is that the new issue of the magazine with the prints is now out
EDIT: I was mistaken, the prints are not out yet

Work is ongoing. For those of you who want a redboy/PR cross, I believe free spores will be sent out in a future issue of Teo. Work is underway to duplicate the experiment with the offspring to produce a 75% Redboy/25% PR. If that proves to be successful, a third cross will be made to produce an 87 1/2% Redboy/12 1/2% PR. Such things take time. RR

The August issue doesn't have a print of the red spore cube... there was a black and white photocopy of the red spore print, and a real print sample of another species...
was i mistaken? did Peele not announce that there would be a print sample of the red spore in the august issue? i was disappointed when i saw there wasn't...

IS the methodology of the experiment in the issue?
Repeating the experiment will select towards PR not Redspore.
50:50 hybrid breed to 100% PR will yield 75% PR not Redspore. 75:25 hybrid breed to 100% PR will yield 87.5% PR not redspore.

you have to breed a monokaryon of the hybrid spores back against the protoplasts of the Redspore.
50:50 hybrid mated to 100% redspore yields 75:25 in favor of redspore.
EDIT:
Curious if the trait was passed to all the offspring of the hybrid spores, or just a percentage. How are you going to determine which monokaryon to breed back against the original protoplasts, IE, how do you determine which monokaryon has Redspore trait?

I don't think so. There are some clues as to how it was done on mycotopia. all zooming over my head, my cats name is mittens

Just a percentage.
quote: "How are you going to determine which monokaryon to breed back against the original"
By duplicating the experiment with dozens of monokaryons then seeing which ones work best by the results obtained. In other words, trial and error. Those that fail to pass on the trait are to be discarded.
The methodology is not in the August issue. Look for a paper on it in a future issue, most likely the one with the free spore print. RR

There is no need to breed the hybrid spores back to the PR. Just do multispore streaks of the hybrid and growout several of the resulting strains. Then it is just a matter of selecting the reddest spores and doing it again until the trait is stable.

Yea, that's being done too. It was probably a typo, but the hybrid spores are being crossbred back to the original Redboy, not the PR. It would be nice to attempt to stabilize the red spore trait from a 75% Redboy, rather than a 50/50. RR

The original Redspore spores could have been treated, and possibly had dikaryons emerge without hybridization.
Since the hybrid monokaryons must be mated against those original treated spores to get 75% Redspore, why not just mate the Redspores amongst themselves. To have any mating, they must have been succesfully removed from the cell walls, and could have undegone fusion with each other.
Yes the hybrid spores them selves can be used to isolate strains that contain the redspore trait, without having to backcross. You can never get back to 100% redspore anyways.
There really was no need to hybridize in the first place, and there is no need to backcross now. Just isolate strains that have the redspore trait, via multispore, or via controlled monokaryon matings to know for sure which monokaryons posses the trait.
Backcrossing is not going to gurantee redspore trait at 75 %, just that 75% of the genome is Redspore strain.
The only gurantee is controlled matings of hybrid monokaryons to determine which monokaryons exactly posses the trait, and which combinations when mated posses the trait, and which of these pass it to 100% of the offspring.
This can be done random as workman suggest, easiest method. Or controlled, to gurantee results, not so easy.

It is indeed an honor to have someone of your caliber and expertise to point out everything I've done wrong. By the way, what IS your caliber and experience in getting 20 year old spores to germinate? The 20 year old redboy print I received would NOT germinate, no matter what I tried, and believe me, I nearly ran out of spores trying every trick in the book, plus a few not in the book. In my experience, after even just five years, a room temperature stored sporeprint taken on non-acid free paper will not germinate. In fact, it was just such a five year old sporeprint that was used to develop the procedures listed in this thread. Once the experiment had been duplicated with the five year old sporeprint, the tek was applied to the 20 year old spores which would NOT germinate on their own. Hybridization was mandatory because there were no fresh redboy spores in existence anywhere. RR

Once you get the spores as red as you can by whatever means, how about crossing them with these white spores printed from the PF Albino. Maybe it would result in pink spores but I doubt it.
Pointer is 8.4 microns wide.
These spores are viable and germinate easily. I've isolated a monkaryotic strain from a single white spore and several dikaryotic strains from multispore. The prints currently are very light deposits, but I hope to eventually selectively breed something that produces dense white prints. Don't ask me why because I don't really see a purpose other than my own entertainment.
