First successful pinning.

He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future.

any chemicals like oust/lysol/bleach fumes/etc been used recently in the immediate vicinity or previously used in high quantities in the containers you're fruiting?

well there ya go, if the odd growth continues, expect crazy ass mutants. and we expect crazy ass mutant porn pics. =)
and dont worry, they'll be safe to eat, print, etc. and probably even clone too, since its environmental/chemical mutation, not genetic.

So how can the chemicals cause mutation and not make the mushrooms inedible? And will it effect the potency?

there's no real proof lysol causes mutants, just wait for them to develop more. yes, they do look weird but they could turn out normal.
doesn't really matter anyways right? I mean, as long as you get a fruit, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it'll always contain psilocybin

They look odd but when my pins first start like an hour old they dont have any visible cap kinda like a knot. they eventually will get a cap, it might be genetic.

looks more like a high res macro pic.. unless he's using 4 inch coarse vermiculite chunks, i'd say that's primordia, that looks just fine, with tomentose mycelium surrounding.

Don't really know what the fuck is going on the mycelium doesn't look too, uhh, ryzomorphic... I'm pretty sure it's all good growth there. More pics will come when things change. hopefully tomorrow

More Progress http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1563329#1563329 Do these look like what he is describing?


 What's the causing the bottom of the pins to be black? This guy cased iit with something that ended up just feeding the mycelium, so it colonized it completely.

yeah i got them from the hawks eye. Are you sure isnt b/c the casing i used was a soil/manure mixture and straw? It colonized the soil mix completely, and i decided to just fruit it.

your casing layer is to be a non-nutritive layer meaning no manure. regardless your fruits are weird! not like cubes. but the black isnt a contam, it would centralize itself just at the base of the fruit. i cant see it anywhere else, and your casing looks very healthy, so all i know is it may not be a cube. do u have upto date pictures? post em lets see whats happening now.

BTW: I know that the casing is not supposed to be colonized, it was really a mistake. The casing i chose i had tried to use as a substrate with no colonization, so i tried it as a casing(since i had a bulk amount) and it colonized REALLY fast. I guess we'll wait and see what happens, i'll keep the pics up to date though. Also, keep in mind that these are about 1 inch tall at this point..

wouldnt cobweb of that large of an infestation over come the mycellium and not allow it to pin so profusly? the "cobweb mold" is working right up to the pins not in any particular pattern, just over all covered. i think its myc. Im expecting the fruits stems to be grey or even a light brown black. whats todays pic gonna look like? You think theyer oysters? i dunno. this is a good one to keep on, its very interesting.

Healthily???? I think not.
Those do not look anything like a cubensis. It looks as if your casing is severly contaminated with cobwebish mold.
i would NOT eat those.

Of coarse they dint look like a cube. th eyer supposed to be Malabar and were ordered from hawks eye he said. if they were Malabar they sure as hell wouldn't look like that in any way shape or form! they do look healthy but of another species of fungus. not a cube maybe not even an active. why does that look contaminated? i know that a contamination is something you weren't trying to grow but these are a mushroom of some sort. if it is cobweb mold its a huge infestation and would not allow that kind of growth.

This pretty much is an experiment with casing materials. I told myself that when they mature if they dont change color at some point, i wont eat them. Honestly it doesnt matter to me, im just curious to see how these turn out.

Im not going to be able to get my money back, it was months ago. And ive already invested the time into this, why would i just throw it away without seeing the end result? And if no one can tell me for certain what's going on, then im gonna just keep it going.

I'd try posting the pics in either the contamination or medicinal forum. Perhaps one of the guys experienced with growing other species can tell you what you've got there.

Why toss it? Mold spreads it's spores as well and sometimes you'll never get it out of you flat again. BUt if I were you I wouldn't toss it either for it's too interesting  This might be a stupid suggestion but too much of an investigator to let it go just like that

not true at all, contact the hawks eye, explain your situation and they'll probably send you a free syringe. obviously something went very wrong here because those definitely aren't cubes. for the sake of your health and future grows, I'd toss them as soon as you're done examining them.

The problem with that is, i live in a state that i cant have spores. i just so happened to be on vacation in a state where they are legal when i ordered them. So i think i may be SOL.

Who cares if the few of us here can't ID them, send them to a lab, or a university, let some students study them. Maybe those contain some type of chemical that can cure cancer.
I would definetly preserve them and document this whole thing (which, I suppose is what this log is), you never know, you might just have some miracle drug on your hands buddy.
Everything is useful in the name of science.

Hahaha, candy corns for Halloween, baby. Give those candies to the little kiddies coming to your house 
But yeah, those are pretty fucked up, I've read a lot of fungus books in the library, and I haven't seen any mushroom like that(but I don't claim to remember ALL of them :P). Maybe you've succeeded in creating one of these "hybrids" vendors like to talk about

we know not to eat un identafyables just we need to know what we have and what we are friggin growing, be it newb fault or vendor fault it doesnt matter. we are newbs and this site is for explanations on what we are doin, because this is a very touchy hobby and when we think something is wrong we turn to you guys,the "experts". trust us we arent going to eat whatever to get high, and we dont tell people to eat it and find out. we arent retards. we need explanations and this doesnt seem to get any explanation that is straight forward but dont eat it! duh! what is this and why did hawks eye,"if that was the vendor" give this to me claiming its Malabar. Period. maybe this is for a different topic?

If indeed, Hawks eye sold you this, and it was not cultivators error, then I offer this...... I can't tell you how many times I ordered a bean burrito without onions from TACO BELL, only to take a bite into it and have onions frolicking in my mouth! I can't tell you how many times I've ordered a Whopper without mustard and gotten home ready to eat, and it has mustard. Now, you would think, Taco bell makes hundreds of bean burritos a day right? (that is what they do!) Whataburger makes how many whoppers a day? Hell I don't know! But You would think that this is what they do all day long...... They should get it right huh!? Human error. Nothing more, nothing less. Will I go back to Taco Bell..? Yes! Will I try another Whopper? Hell yea! Now, If I go back to Taco bell and they don't replace my order or if I go back to Whataburger and they don't take care of me, will I stop eating burritos and burgers? Hell no! I'll either go to a different Taco Bell, or Different Whataburger. Hell, I might get pissed off enough to go to a different company altogether! They are in the customer service industry and are vying for my business! Expect human error from time to time, but also expect service.

How incredibly bizarre! What are these things? It could be contamination. They are reminiscent of Ganoderma, Cordyceps or maybe Xylaria. I hope someone identifies them soon.

Exactly we all have experienced human error from time to time,its how they fix or make it better that counts. And even if they dont fix it you still cant get detoured from other suppliers of what you are looking for i.e. cheeseburgers and the shitty service at fast food joints. I'm still gonna eat me a big mac i dont care they forgot the fish fillet the nuggets and fries I'm going to go in there and expect them to give me fresh food that was supposed to be in there. i dunno about your residence issue and what you can do about that, because what you were supposed to receive is illegal in three states and theres no way around talking them into breaking the law. We like interesting topics like this and we all learn alot from these kinds of things. WHERES THE UPDATE PICS!!

I don't think it looks contaminated with cobweb mold. It is contaminated with a culture other than psilocybe cubensis.
They resemble stink horns but with different coloring. Look for musrhooms in family Phallus

That's very thought out and you're correct, why is a vendor sending this out? This could have potentially been deadly if someone that didn't actually care got their hands on it. I am glad that someone who does care obtained them. THey do need to be id'd i now agree on that. That definitely isn't like anything i've seen in a while.
Hybrids are bs, vendors that claim hybrids apparently need to boost sales, so they BS us.
You are correct, simply saying "Throw it out!" isn't a good example of answering a question.

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.

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?

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?

now im curious as to how this was introduced.
this just doesnt seem like something that'd be found in a vendor syringe, but

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.

I was trying to figure out where the spores cam from, considering i live in a state where they dont occur naturally.

Ugly??? I think they're fucking rad!!!
ts727 - Many species of wild mushrooms have habitats far more distributed than is documented in field guides. For instance, Melanoleuca verrucipes should not grow in the U.S., yet, I have found it, along with a handful of others, each surprised by the ID since it is only documented from Europe.
Mushrooms don't read field guides, they grow wherever they damn well please.
