haha, they were posted a while back. I didn't add them to the original post, they're on page 2 of this thread, scroll up.
Edit: well, this is page 3 so scrolling up won't help

Yeah, I feel like a dope. I must have clicked pg1 instead of all.
My bad. 
What strain and tek did you use? I'd LOVE to try truffles once I get the basics down.

>>>>What strain and tek did you use?
Mexicana A is the strain. I used rye grass seed soaked in diluted coffee (50% coffee 50% water). Not the first, but it's not really a tek. I tried a rye grass seed "tek" that called for placing the seed and water in a jar (no soak). I wouldn't recommend doing that, I ended up with soggy seed on the bottom and dry seed at the top. Give it a 24hr soak and a GOOD simmer.
Other than figuring out how to hydrate the grass seed, truffels are totally easy. Just inoculate and wait.

Rahz, sorry for my ignorance, but is 'truffle' a style of growing or is it some attribute of the shroom? In other words, can I grow EQ as a truffle?

It is called Sclerotia, but the 'street' name is truffles and or Philosopher stones...so on...
Only a few Mushrooms can also produce Sclerotia, not all can, P. mexicana and P. tampanensis sclerotia
Psilocybe mexicana & Psilocybe tampanensis (sclerotia)

Thanks Snaggle.
I'll look into that. I would also imagine that it'd be harder to get accidentally busted for them because they look nothing like what your average, uneducated cop would suspect was an illegal mushroom.

Did they grow through out the jars, or just where the glass was? Any idea how much RGS you started out with? Did you raise the ph with lime after using the coffee?

The ones growing below substrate level were all against the glass. The ones that grew above the sub level weren't against the glass, they were just growing in the empty space.
I used 300-450 ml per jar. More substrate did not mean more sclerotia, and in fact the best jars were in the 300-350 range.
I didn't PH adjust this grow.
I have other jars which are PH adjusted. They're also a mix of 10 different grains... I have jars that are a month and a half old, they're BURSTING with sclerotia bet you wanna see some pics.
