I got some malabar multispore syringe from sporeworks and they don't look like this, notice the cap is fully out with veil intact:
But more like the traditional cubensis shape like B+ with veil breaking as soon as cap opens. Anyone else play around with this strain?

I believe what the poster is getting at is the fact that they malabars they grew do NOT look like the photo..

I would blow someone to get fruits like that. Some really pretty fruits that don't look like cubes at all.
I've seen many grow logs of malabars, and none of them look like that...

I think that is totally understood. HOWEVER, those don't even look like the "Stock" pictures on Ralphsters page. http://www.ralphstersspores.com/index_files/Page1176.htm
Which brings up the idea of "substrains" If you do a multispore inoculation, you're not going to know which particular substrain will be dominant in the grow. Each substrain will inherently have it's own traits and characteristics. Obviously a picture was taken of a Malabar substrain that had that particular characteristic. Unless you clone those bad babies, your back to square one. Let's not forget my recent TEXAN grow that produced a substrain, (subspecies) which had the Leucistic trait...
Everyone wanted a print from that! The exact same spore print produced the "Normal" looking TEXAN...
So what gives! I hope this helps clarify the misunderstanding with your Malabars. Hell, Since I fell in love with Ralphsters picture of Lipa Yai... http://www.ralphstersspores.com/index_files/Page2780.htm I've been on a quest to get them. Do I hope I cultivate it and get those type of fruitbodies? YES. Will I get that particular fruitbody when I grow them? Who Knows.

so you've gota wait and clone to get those famous Malabar aesthetics and you may not get one fruit that looks like it from your syringe. Sucks don't it. Sounds like live myc syringes or agar plates/tubes are the only way to buy those fruits and that is illegal to sell. So you'd have to at least blow me to get a strain isolate off me if I had one. Not to mention you'd probibly have to know me IRL to gain my trust enough to believe you don't have oral herpes or something. Oh, and that your not a cop/ect.

Yeah, just gonna have to play around with isolates. So far its turned out to be a good colonizer and producer. Haven't tested potency yet.

There was only one malabar out of my malabar grow, that had parts of the viel stuck to the cap after maturity. It didn't look anything like those pics, it was mostly ripped up..... Other than that they were almost identicle to ecuadors.
