Results 1 - 25 of 1000 (best matches first)"

They are refered to as philosophers stones, however sclerotia is a more common term between mycologists and cultivators. From what i have seen the most common substrate used is ryegrass seed, or grasseed. Jars are inocculated and incubated for months untill deemed ready.

Kodaxx, the common procedure is to inoculate rye grass seed or rye berries with mexicana spores or culture. The stones form right in the jars after a few weeks.
Sporeworks has spores of this species available for microscopic study. Check the vendor forum. RR

My friend is currently growing these, all you do is purchase a mycobag specifcally made for sclerotia, inoculate it, set it and forget it for about 4 months, then harvest, here is the guide my friend is using http://www.clusterbusters.com/mycobagstone.htm

super easy to grow. Its a cool litle side project. Super acidic stones. Mad heart burn from eating them. I would think wbs would produce sweeter ones but I also think they like the acidic soil/subtrate.

Around the 25 of this mouth. They should have a good deal. They take about 3-6 mouths.But, you should get alot in return per jar.

Panaeolus cyanescens generally are the strongest you can buy in Amsterdam.... Also I don't think you can actually call it a "shroom" since it is closer to a psychoactive potato then anything else....
I have worked with Mex-a before, both fruiting and sclerotia... I have found if you want to get a result then make about a 1/2 dozen agar multi-spore and wait till you see a sclerotia start to forum. Then transfer to rye

RR, the term "philosopher's stones" came from the anime Full Metal Alchemist, and in my opinion has no business being bastardized into mushroom cult slang. not for the sake of the show, but for the sake of this science.

Actually, the term "Philosopher's Stone" predates that anime by CENTURIES.
In medieval alchemy it was the "missing" element required to turn lead into gold.
Sclerotia have been called Philosopher's stones for years, too...
I don't know what your personal vendetta against Fullmetal Alchemist is, but don't take it out on a newbie.

I've always known them to be philospher's stones. I've always wanted to give them a try.

I think the reference was more to the fact that he is a new comer in our community. The last thing we want to do is discourage someone by belittling them, (intentionally or not). It's not what you say, but how you say it. By the way, now you make me want to go rent out Full Metal Alchemist!
