Pray tell kind sir, exactly how were those monsters grown? Were those largest of specimens in jars or bags and for how long? Multi-spore or isolated strain? And to what do you attribute their phenomenal size?

Oh yeah, one more thing, CLONE THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

I talk to them a lot :wink:

Seriously, it is a pure-strain inoculation. The bags are inoculated with mycelial suspension through a syringe and the hole is taped. They are shaken and  placed in darkness at 20-23oC. That's really all there's to it :smile:

How does sclerotia compare to the fruits via weight. What do they dry down too, 10% of the weight fresh???

sclerotia are roughly 30% dry matter, so they dry down to a little more than 30& of the fresh weight.

Bringing back the dead. Were these monsters grown with your tampanensis or the mexicana? I am thinking of tring the mexicana, but from reading your site it seems like you have the best luck from the tampanensis. Also can you get decent yeilds with multispore?

I think the title of the post "HUGE mexicana sclerotia" has your answer.

OK now I feel like an idiot. I must have read the thread 4 times looking for which strain and wasn't even thinking about what made me click the link in the first place.

I have eaten these [Re: mycofile]
    #636943 - 05/19/02 09:46 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Actually, I was on a visit to Amsterdam and came across a vendor offering these under the name of 'Philosopher Stones'. The shop, I believe, was called "Conscious Dreams" or something. I ate two of these and each were about the size of a US quarter coin. Very nice experience. They really had no taste and were similar to texture as very soft nuts like Macadamias.

I was curious. Do you get this rock-looking growth by simply growing invitrio? Can you give us some details, Una?

appreciatively,

di11rod
