Thanks flush... it IS missing info... and the wiki is no longer in use ... but it too, is a start.
I had a feeling Anno would've created something like that by now. I'll read it over today, and see if anything needs updating.
*** Edit*** Update, there are HUGE HOLES in the guide... but it is a start. Be sure to follow the included links to THE REAL STRAIN Guide... not just the wiki. You'll see what I mean. Also the Wiki is LOCKED... so nothing new can be added.
For now, if you have something to add, keep using my journal. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Journal/117267
As they're finished, I'll send the updated descriptions to Anno so they can be added to the official Shroomery cube strain guide.
I am not interested in potency and growing techniques (Cube potency will vary every time new spores are used... and they are ALL grown the same way). I am interested in who discovered the cube, and where it was discovered. Macroscopic and microscopic differences that make THAT cube unique.
**********
For example:
According to various sources including long-time Shroomerite, Mushroom John Allen (AKA mjshroomer), Penis Envy was discovered in Amazonian Columbia by Terrance McKenna and his brother.
Penis Envy was thought, by many, to be long lost until Mushroom John released a few spore swabs from an early sample to long-time Shroomery Sponsors who later, reintroduced Penis Envy to the public.
Today, many vendors sell Penis Envy.
Since the cap rarely separates too far from the stem, a Penis Envy fruit can look like a circumcised penis.
Penis Envy often has a thick gnarly stem and releases very few spores.
With Penis Envy, just because you see fruits does not mean you will see spores. Penis Envy fruits are often sterile (few or no spores drop) and the gills of the sterile fruit can be light yellow in color (Instead of spore-filled and dark). Later flushes usually bring more spores than the early flushes, but often only a couple fruits drop spores.
Penis Envy fruits often grow slower than a typical cube (but your results can and WILL vary). Those thick stems can take a while to reach full maturity. The DENSE fruits don't shrink much when dried.
It is not uncommon for Penis Envy to flush the occasional ALBINO fruit.
Because it looks like a penis when fruited, Penis Envy is a love/hate strain. Many people have different opinions about this odd and unique cube.
********
Now, compare that to the description we've been using for 5 years.

Psilocybe cubensis Penis Envy
Cultivation Difficulty: Easy Potency: Moderate to Potent Substrate: Dung, Straw, Various grains Colonization/Fruiting Temperatures: 84-86F/74-78F
A low yielding novelty strain of Psilocybe cubensis that looks disturbingly like a circumcised penis. Anecdotal reports are of higher than average psilocybin activity, a trend noted in other low yielding mutated strains.

Same thing... but Columbia is more specific. Thanks, I'll add it. SW is a good source.

I don’t see Creeper or Z-Strain in the list.
You should probably note in there profiles that both of these strains originate from a rip-off site that has been around since I got into the hobby around 2002.
Z-Strain and Creepers, aka (Keepers Creepers) Both originated from this site are likely common cube re-named.
This is the site as it exists today. It’s a funny read. http://www.sporetradingpost.com/psychedelic_cafe.htm
I don’t really consider that as posting a source since no one in their right mind would buy from them.

Damn, every time, I see this site again, I get really angry... How fucked up this MoFo has to be, to totally rip off newbies? Actually everyone who buys stuff from the internet, without comparing prices before is a total moron, but this just sucks. Even the try should be punished...

Wow! Look at that Oracle! Only $95 dollars, and with a little Keepers brew one syringe could inoculate 100s of jars!

I have added the Creeper, "Hybrid" strains... as well as several others. Please add any info you wish to add.
