i once ate some mushrooms that were awesome they grew gold flakes on them naturally any idea what the strain might be?




HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes, I have a hunch... it was a cube grown with VERMICULITE.

The cubes didn't have gold flakes, they grew in a gold, flakey substrate... some of which stuck to the dried cubes.

Search for vermiculite or verm... you'll quickly see what I mean.

Vermiculite is used to keep shrooms moist as they grow. You simply wipe it off. Unless you think the gold flakes help you trip.

Puking can be caused by many factors. Tripping itself causes psychosomatic nausea in some people. That said, shrooms themselves are very fibrous and can be hard to digest, thus compounding the nausea. On top of that, shrooms cause GAS! Vomit is not uncommon and has little to do with vermiculite. Don't worry, by the time most people vomit, they've digested enough for a good trip, in spite of the mess.

To minimize the discomfort, extract your shrooms into tea. :smile:

Plenty of people have tried it.

But, I suspect you want to know how potent PE is.

PE is potent, according to most who have tried it. In fact, of all the cubes, PE is quite commonly reported to be more potent than average. There is little debate. There is also, little evidence and less proof of PE's potency, but gram for gram, people seem to like it a LOT.

There is little (if any) reason to think the average potency of SW's PE is any different than any other vendor's.

Always save some spores... just in case you mess up, be very patient and READ READ READ. This is not the proper thread for cultivation 101, so I'll leave it at that for now.

Also, instead of repeatedly swearing your syringes from SW are bunk on these boards... politely contact them and explain how your microscope displayed a lack of visible spores in your syringes and that you are a member of The Shroomery. If you are polite and respectful, they should bend over backwards to help replace your product quickly and affordably (ie: for free).

SW is a reputable vendor with an incredible track record for good product. While it is not impossible for SW to screw up four times in one order, it is much more likely that a novice grower (asking around for cultivation advice no less) has a problem with their sterile technique than that SW sent you four contaminated or sporeless syringes. Stop complaining about it in public at least until you talk to them in private. Shroomery sponsors take care of their Shroomery customers... but first, you have to give them a chance. :wink:

You may wish to make a cheap glove box, that should greatly increase your odds of future success.

Good luck!

Yes they are fine.

And you may wish to contact that other vendor, even though they are not a sponsor, they may still work with you.

Sorry, I was a bit confused.

I have added several new profiles today. Colorado, Elephant Gate, Keeper Brand Cube Spores and Mex Dutch King. I've also added threads for two new cubes, the Columbian Rust Spore and the Albino A+ to my journal.

Over 1/3 or my listed strains now have updated profiles!

Click the strain's name to go to a thread in my journal where you can discuss that particular strain.

Enjoy!

And remember to post any additional info or corrections in this thread or in my strain journal. ESPECIALLY if I have spelled a strain's name incorrectly! Also, let me know what strains I am missing. Feel free to post information in my journal even if it means bumping an extremely old thread. Either click the journal icon in my avatar or follow this link: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Journal/117267

Hi.  Sorry for the intrusion and please take all that i say IMHO.  Thank you.  I have been growing PE and 10+ other strains(lol) for about 6 years now.  I don't post much because honestly I found everything I needed back in the day and have been quietly experimenting.  In addition I don't have the technical background and know only what I have read here and what I have gathered in experience.  I received my PE from Hawk's in about '04.  I was so excited because the 1st flush, which I did in a large tub, was fantastic and ALL of the mushrooms were very tall, thick and looked just like they were suppose to.  They looked like 'classic PE'.  They were also very strong(not just MHO but that of other regulars as well). I was also so excited because about half printed.  I have had mutations that look like regular mushrooms but it is rare and they were always surrounded by a sea of dicks :smile:.  I do have a print of one such mushroom and it is labeled carefully :smile:.I have not attempted anything with that print.  Fast forward 5 years.  They still look just like they did the 1st time.  The only change is a mild improvement in their spore dropping properties.  They are still super F'n strong.  I will be glad to give you guys a few prints and let you be the judge.  This is not an attempt to change any ones mind and certainly I do not qualify to enter your strain/brand discussion.  Thanks again.

SR




I've heard very good things about this strain, brand or whatever you'd like to call it. Regardless, I would like to try the PE spawned onto popcorn. Are you looking to trade prints, Shroomrookie?

Just ordered 3 spore syringes( Texans). I'm planning on spawning to bulk since I heard these shrooms can be potent and large. I've been looking for ( pics, info, links ). Haven't found much on the search forums.  Any help will be appreciated and good help will be givin good rep.

Click the link for more Texas Cube info and sources.

I surprised you didn't try 3 different cubes...


Texas
The Texas cube is interesting if not exactly unique.

Texas is slow to colonize, pin and fruit. Texas cubes, once mature, have a lot of character. It seems cubes which take a longer than average time to grow often look more withered and tree-like than their faster growing counterparts. A mature Texas fruit can have a thick, gnarled stem and a surprisingly dense and withered cap.

Roger Rabbit crossed Texas with PE to create the PE #6. He crossed them in an attempt to
make a PE which produced plentiful spores. PE #6 was leaked before RR had finished working on it. Texas is an obvious choice to cross with PE, because their stems look quite similar and both have thick caps.

Colorado
The Colorado Cube is an enigma.

Rumors of cubes growing in the Rocky Mountain West are common. There is no hard evidence to support these rumors. The stories of wild cubes in the Rocky Mountain West are likely stem from cultivators who use the story to disguise their grow op. Western cultivators may simply tell friends that they know how to find cubes in a cow pasture (especially FRESH cubes), instead of saying, "HEY! I GROW THESE MYSELF! I HAVE A COLLECTION OF PRINTS, SYRINGES AND JARS! I HAVE A MARTHA, AN ULTRASONIC AND A PC!!!!"

Ralphster from www.ralphstersspores.com swears he was told the spores came from Colorado, but it is extremely unlikely the person who gave Ralph the original spores was telling the whole story. Without a great deal of human intervention, cubes would struggle to grow outdoors in Colorado's cold and dry, high altitude climate. Due to long winters, the potential wild cube growing season in Colorado is very short and this warm season is often very dry and also, too hot for cubes. While not entirely impossible, Colorado's conditions are simply not optimal for cubes. Not even in a good year.

If the Colorado Cube really is from Colorado, it was likely gathered from a cultivator's well tended outdoor (or even indoor) patch... or a farm animal ate some shrooms in the Gulf Coast region and was quickly transported to Colorado where it pooped the spores out at the perfect time of the year for cube growth.

A true Colorado cube would likely show some interesting microscopic traits, for example a Colorado cube should have unusually large spores. The further a native cube is from the equator, the larger the spores tend to be. If any such research has been done with the Colorado's spores, it is not readily available.

Ralph was told the Colorado is from Colorado. He believes what he was told. There is little evidence to dispute or support the story... but it is more than likely someone told Ralph a lie or at the very least, unwittingly stretched the truth.

It doesn't really matter if Colorado really came from Colorado. It still makes for quite an interesting story.




I picked some random mushrooms out from in front of my mothers house right out at the street that I believe were either Cubensis or Panaelous Subbalteatus tho I would lean more toward cubensis. I even got pics of some of them.
Something tells me that they do really exist here. I always find rizomorphic mycelium growing on lumber or chopped wood which I believe produces mostly Shaggy Maines, which I have also found in sod, wood piles and growing from lignin rich soils. I have seen Gym Joninous (sp?) growing in the mountains and amanita muscaria growing just about everywhere.

I grew up in Utah and heard many rumors of cubes growing in the cow fields in the north... but w/o more evidence I am hesitant to say this cube is actually from Colorado.

It is possible, but unlikely. Good knows there's plenty of good substrate in Colorado.

I'd love to see the pics.

That said, if cubes were discovered in South Africa, it is possible they have been discovered in Colorado, but remember; South Africa is surrounded by ocean.
