As for pan cyans, this is the wrong thread... but yes people have had success growing them outdoors. Do a search for more info.
As for BIG fruits, the South American strains (Like EQ) are known to be big. Same with Orissa India and B+ among others. Many cubes put out big fruits.

It NEVER fails.
Sounds like a soild idea.

Go ahead and eat 'em. They may look weird... but weird shrooms are often potent.
And stop multi-posting. Forums run on patience. If you can't wait a day to get an answer, you are in the wrong place.

Here's what I found...
And I imagine you could have found it yourself if you'd familiarize yourself with the search feature.

Yeah... it helps that I remembered mjshroomer had a hand in it. So I found it on my second click. I didn't mean to be rude. 2000+ posts is a lot to sort through.
If you want early info on a strain, search for the first posts and look for vendors, current mods & admins, or mjshroomer. Works 90% of the time.

I found out some info about the 'Pink' buffalo and added it to the journal.

Quote:
By Jason Roth Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Bovidae Subfamily: Bovinae Genus: Bubalus Species: Bubalus bubalis Geographic Range
Asian water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis, has been heavily domesticated and thus is now widespread. The suspected native domain of B. bubalis was from Central India to southern Nepal in the west to Vietnam and Malaysia in the east. It is believed that true wild populations still survive in parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Thailand. Domesticated and or feral populations are very widespread. River buffalo (a domesticated variety) are found more in the west and reside in Indochina, the Mediterranean, and parts of South and Central America. Swamp buffalo (another variety under domestication) are more easterly in distribution and inhabit Indochina and Southeast Asia as well as Australia. (Gurung and Singh, 1996; Ligda, 1999a; Macdonald, 2001; Nowak, 1999; Shackleton and Harestad, 2003; Singh, Nanda, and Adams, 2000)
Biogeographic Regions: palearctic (introduced ); oriental (native ); neotropical (introduced ); australian (introduced ). Habitat Elevation 2800 m (high) (9184 ft)
In the wild, water buffalo are found in tropical and subtropical forests as well as wet grasslands. They are considered terrestrial but are heavily dependent on water and spend a majority of time wallowing in rivers or mud holes. Thus, B. bubalis is found in wet habitats ranging from riverine forests and grasslands, to marshes and swamps. These habitats are a mixture of tall grasses, rivers and streams, and a scattering of trees and forests. Such an environment provides B. bubalis with adequate water for drinking and wallowing, abundant food, and dense cover.
In general, water buffalo are found in lower elevations, but in Nepal, swamp buffalo can commonly be found at elevations of 2,800 m. Domesticated animals are widespread, and therefore are found in a wide variety of habitats. The majority of the domesticated water buffalo are found in agricultural communities, but they can also be found in many cities. (Gurung and Singh, 1996; Ligda, 1999c; Macdonald, 2001; Nowak, 1999; Shackleton and Harestad, 2003)
These animals are found in the following types of habitat: temperate ; tropical ; terrestrial .
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland ; forest .
Aquatic Biomes: lakes and ponds; rivers and streams; temporary pools.
Wetlands: marsh , swamp .
Other: urban ; suburban ; agricultural ; riparian . Physical Description Mass 250 to 1200 kg (550 to 2640 lbs)
Length 240 to 300 cm (94.49 to 118.11 in)
Bubalus bubalis is a large animal. Individuals stand 1.5 to 1.9 m in height at the shoulder, and have large feet with splayed hooves. The face is long and narrow, with rather small ears and large horns. The horns of this species have the widest spread found in any bovid. Unlike African buffalo, in which the bases of the horns almost meet at the forehead, the bases of the horns in Asian water buffalo are far apart. Both sexes bear horns, although those of the female are smaller than those of the male. Horns of both sexes are heavy set at the base, ribbed, and are triangular in cross-section.
Bubalus bubalis has a body length of 240 to 300 cm and a tail length of 60 to 100 cm. Wild male water buffalo weigh up to 1,200 kg, and females can weigh up to 800 kg. Domesticated water buffalo range from 250 to 550 kg.
Water buffalo have sparse hair that is long and ashy gray to black. Their relatively long tail is bushy at the tip. Their legs are often dirty white up to the knees. Adult buffalo are almost hairless and their skin color varies with weather conditions, though it is difficult to ascertain the skin color, as these animals are usually covered with mud. When not mud covered and dry, the skin is dark grey; however, when moist (and not mud covered), the skin is dark brown to black. Swamp buffalo (a variety of B. bubalis under domestication) are more ashy gray in color, has a drooping neck, and horns that are swept back and out, whereas river buffalo (the other domesticated variety) are more black and have tightly curled horns.
A closely related species found in the Philippines is Bubalus mindorensis, or tamaraw. It is smaller than B. bubalis, weighing 300 kg and standing 100 cm at the shoulder. Tamaraws have more hair than Asian water buffalo, are dark brown to black, and have shorter horns. (Lekagul and McNeely, 1988; Ligda, 1999a; Macdonald, 2001; Nowak, 1999; Phillips, 1984; Prater, 1971; Shackleton and Harestad, 2003; Singh, Nanda, and Adams, 2000)

And more about the Pink Buffalo from:
http://www.mushroomjohn.org/samui3.htm
While discussing Thai pan [copelandia] cyans.)
These mushrooms appear in the manure of the Asian water buffalo Bubalis Bubalis, of which 1 in 10 are pink (Fig. 2c) and these mushrooms are common in rice paddies (Fig. 2d) throughout Southeast Asia

On a side note, mjshroomer was eventually perma-banned from The Shroomery.
Use the search feature to learn more.
It is sad that one of the world's most important cubensis collectors had a falling out with this community... but there is strong evidence that mj is high maintenance... to say the least.
To his credit, mjshroomer knows a LOT about the history of many cubes. Perhaps more than anyone else in the USA.

This is the wrong thread for such a discussion but YES. Mex A is a sclerotia producer.
If you have a pc, Mex A is EASIER to grow than ANY cube.
Sclerotia fruits in-vitro so just PC some grain, inoculate... leave the jars at room temp, and wait. It can take a while but it is worth it both in bulk and quality. It ALL happens in the jar!
My favorite fungus.
Good luck!

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum and just wondering what strain would be best for cold climates (down to about 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit), from what I have read it seems like the choices would be between the B+ and the Tasmanian, do you guys know of any others?
Also do you guys know of any heat tolerant strains that withstand temps between 80-90 Fahrenheit? I have read that the India Orissa strain is tolerant of heat, anyone have experience with these? How do they do on BRf cakes that would be cased with verm and coir?

Any cube should grow between roughly 60 and 90 degrees... if it is too cold the growth will slow to a crawl... too hot and you could kill your myc. In general, room temp is fine.
Those cubes will do fine on cakes or in casings.
