well isn't that the whole point of the grow here, to eventually get a psilocybe mushroom? there's no way in hell that's what this is, and this looks dangerous, I'd go so far as to say. waiting for an ID is as far as I'd go with these things..

Damn... maybe you are right. He did say something about experimenting with casing materials... maybe he used human flesh, and they are running out of juice and lapped him up!

Well yeah his intent i believe was to cultivate Malabar strain, but we established that this is not.Be it cultivator or vendor error doesn't matter anymore. we just want to see the end product. none can be harmed by growing mushrooms even if they are deadly, and i dont see and dangerous contamination that would harm him either. so unless he needs the room for something else, i dont see why he shouldn't continue to see the end product. we all want to see WTF this is. no one here can say precisely what they are anyways.

Well as of today, project WTF Are Those is officially over.

Earlier I said that they were reminiscent of Xylaria.
Here is a picture of Xylaria hypoxylon, the 'Candle snuff
fungus'

It looks very similar, doesn't it?

just got done researching it.
now im curious as to how this was introduced. possible post-casing contamination? this just doesnt seem like something that'd be found in a vendor syringe, but

I'd say... what are the chances of that happening? Seems like it is very unlikely that there was contamination of Xylaria hypoxylon that just so happened to overtake some Malabar. Very strange indeed. Where are the final pictures anyhow? Why did you abort WTF?

I was gonna take a final set of pics, but my camera was acting up, and they didnt really look any diff. When i threw it out it all fell out in one big piece. Maybe i can keep it going outside.

shoulda kept a few for research, can you go grab a couple and dry em out? I'll pay for S+H.
google'd this info:
"Xylaria hypoxylon can be found year round in the S.F. Bay Area on downed wood. Fruiting bodies are blackish, thin, wiry and branched with white tips. The white tips consist of masses of asexual spores (conidia). As the fruiting body matures, it thickens, becomes all black, and sexual (ascospores) are produced in embedded perithecia. The latter form tiny pores on the surface of the fruiting body. Critical study of this species is needed in California, as there may be a number of species of Xylaria masquerading under this name, or the species may be extremely variable."
Melanin claim:
"1. The method of preserving a plant substrate subject to decay by microbial or environmental factors comprising applying to at least a surface of the substrate a decay-inhibiting effective amount of a preservative composition comprising melanin, a melanin precursor or a mixture thereof, and causing any such melanin precursor in said composition to polymerize to form melanin, such melanin being optionally in metal complexed form. "
8. The method of claim 3 in which the melanin is obtained from a fungus.
9. The method of claim 8 in which the fungus is from a genus selected from the group consisting of Ustulina, Xylaria, Hypoxylon, Ganoderma, Armillaria, Ophiostoma, and Aureobasidium and Phaeococcomyces. "
Sounds like it has some uses, needs more research though.
That's why it's the shroomery, and not "we only care about active-ery"
I thought you guys had expanded minds, even more beyond just getting fucked up.
