Yeah, just bruising and age the fresh smaller ones rarely show any blue until picked and then generally on the stem where it's been squashed, only happens to the good ones

It’s a main way to id but don’t just rely on that
Take a spore print too. Learn to now the shapes of the ones you’re hunting.

Ps subs are what your looking for but deadly Galerinas can look similar and grow in the same environment

I like them early

I like them early

yeah i had to disappear for a day and figured it would be better than them sporing all over the medium but tbh I’ve no idea what the difference actually would be - fewer shrooms from subsequent flushes or what’s the risk?

Are these from sporespecs

 

[Orb]

yeah, from a syringe I’ve had in the fridge for over 12 months

was a bit concerned they wouldn’t get up to much but it’s been a ripper so far!

I've got a jar of culture over 12 months old that's still viable, I started a new jar off recently because I was getting sus on it

 

[Orb]

there are limits I’m guessing, i clearly forgot about this one at the back of the fridge, solid disk, was kinda cool

Sorry to clog your thread @Orb but is sporespecs still around?

yeah GG picked up some of his CVG bags a few months ago, threw in the usual freebie which means i will likely buy more gear from him, smart business model
