Genetics and their fun
      01/19/24 08:32 AM

So I’ve recently decided to share my thoughts. It’s an interesting topic, the genetics and all. If you look at what was done with the penis envy. A mysterious Amazonian strain, that wasn’t a cube. Slowly taking it, and breeding it over time to resemble a cube.

See, it couldn’t produce spores well. So how do you make that happen? You have to mix it with something that can. It was close enough to cube genetics to work.

Tho if you understand evolution, then the major changes in a mushroom aren’t the addition and subtraction of genetics but rather the expression of them.

I’ve made a statement on Panaeolus cyanescens. If you can breed penis envy with Texans, what can you breed pans with on agar?

It’s why reverts are more special than the original. Most of those cloned strains, while they can have good genetics. You are limited to the aspect that it’s a clone. So you have a master that needs to be maintained, or slants.

While that’s fine, the revert is where it’s at. Why? Because now you’ve bread genetics that have the potential to be the parents with the genetic reproduction expressed properly.

This is the same reason I think people have become too obsessed with contamination. A jar gets contaminated, don’t toss it. Ride it out, if it wins you might just have made genetic progress. By breeding in its defense and durability back in. While hopefully not compromising potency.

I would argue that you have reduced potency. Why? As a defense it doesn’t make sense. A mushroom wants to be eaten, as in the digestive tract spores can thrive well. Sure they travel in the wind, and many end up uneaten.


The true survival mechanic would be to spread as far as they can, and then settle in a safe spot. Far from the parent colony, as to preserve resources and spread its genes. A pile of dung sounds swell to a mushroom. So potency could be looked at as a way to get an animal to move as far away as possible. I would wadger nausea and vommiting might also change. Tho you might need actual sunlight for some of this. One could wonder what the skin of the mushroom does, as we create vitamin d…..

So that’s what I’m into finding out. How far down the rabbit hole can we go?
