Hey workman, Any updates recently? Im very interested in your workings with this strain, and how you are going to get it to colonize w/o fruting

I haven't looked into the toxicity of gentamycin sulfate. I assumed it was fairly safe when taken in theraputic doses and even safer when merely handled. I am fairly certain its not good for you in high doses over an extended time as with any antibiotic. I guess I should look into it and get a copy of the material safety sheet.

One question, Workman: Do they contain Psilocybin (are they getting blue when injured?)
Good work!

I suspect they are not an active species of Psilocybe. No bluing at all. I will consider a bioassay in the future. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2 days later.

Very Nice bro!
great picture!
I love how they curl upward. too bad they don't turn that violet color like the wild ones. I was really hoping that these were active. doesn't sound promising.
great work though! thanks for sharing your research!!!

Well, some variation from the wild type is expected when grown under laboratory conditions. But I assume you are mostly referring to the violet coloration of the wild specimens. Upon closer examination of a larger, wider version of the wild photo, it seems that the purple color is merely from deposited spores. Spores from a mushroom that was removed before the photo was taken. This species is a very heavy spore depositor and the caps are pale and easily discolored by spores.

Errrr..... too late for that crop, but the next one is coming on from the same jar. They seem to be a bit more robust this time. The first flush was half developed in a sealed jar before I opened it and that may have had some effect on appearance. I really need to start over and make a cased tray.

very nice shrooms indeed.
Do you really plane to make a bioassay? Couldn't it be your last bioassay? I mean, maybe it's toxic.

There is risk. I think I'll try to send them to a lab first if they are agreeable. As far as I know, there are no deadly poison purple-black spored mushrooms. I could get very sick, but I would likely survive to tell the tale. I tasted one fresh and it tasted like bland mushrooms.

they look pretty similar to me. Lab-grown specimens of most psilocybes tend to have a tendency toward more upturned caps due to higher/more consistent humidity. I'm guessing that the wild caps are darker due to large spore deposits rather than any difference in cap colour, though even that wouldn't be surprising in lab conditions either.

The natural ones look to be coloured by pigment, not by spores. Is this the case? Perhaps your sample was somehow contaminated? The voracious fruiting on agar speaks somewhat otherwise, however, to contamination with other psilocybe spores from your lab.. Please do keep us up to date on your progress. DinoMyc
