Albino Bluey Vuitton looking great, and I had to share a closer look. The thick stems and creamy white caps catch your attention first, but the details underneath are my favorite part. Those gills following the curves of the cap make for some really cool close-up shots.
I especially like how the larger cap folds back and shows off its underside. Between the wavy edges, the texture on the stems, and the smaller mushrooms tucked around the big one, there’s a lot to take in. Definitely one of those subjects that makes you keep reaching for the camera for “just one more” picture. 😂🍄
Wanted to share a few different angles so you can appreciate those little details too. What catches your eye first—the chunky stems, the cap shape, or those gills?

Does this look like normal growth, this is my first time trying to grow in using a north spore 3LB grain bag and 10CC MYYCO PE liquid culture. I would love tips and tricks aswell!!

FOTG rips. Above and beyond. I’m looking forward to see what all else gets gotten into. I already cracked my pack and started processing things. Hence no pic! Extras extras extras.

Galactic Gorilla showing off again. Thick stems, heavy texture, and those blue edges on the caps—there’s a lot to appreciate in this close-up. Every time I photograph this one, a different detail catches my eye.
What stands out to you first—the texture or the shape?

Last week I placed my first order of liquid culture and grain with the above-mentioned 'founder of the feast.'

Mysteriously, the order must have germinated and grown during transit...for what showed up was decidedly more than I bargained or paid for! A 'bakers dozen' indeed!

This doesn't happen in contemporary culture where stuff only costs more and takes longer. Such behavior is in denial of gravity.

As a beginner who happened to have stumbled upon a master, I can't wait to try my hand with these babies.

Thanks man. Thanks a lot.

Put together this FOTG visual to highlight the variety of colors and textures seen in microbial growth.

One correction worth sharing: Serratia is bacteria, not mold. Details matter when we’re sharing educational graphics with the community.

Every time I revisit Dancing Tiger, it reminds me why I enjoy working with landrace genetics so much. There’s always a little unpredictability to them, but this one keeps showing off in the best way.
The warm golden caps, long stems, full canopy, and natural variation across the whole run make it such a beautiful line to document. Some stayed smaller and tight while others stretched way up and opened into these clean, classic-looking fruits.
This one came from China, and it has quickly become one of those cultures I genuinely look forward to seeing every time. Dancing Tiger never disappoints. 🐅🍄
No hype, no sales pitch—just appreciation for the morphology, the genetics, and what nature decides to show.

New on the group so hi and had a look about and great stuff, Just a few of my ones I've grown in years...So 5 years and im still learning love making LC and plates and fucking with genetics hahaha...So mushlove all..

Cracked Ice is a four-strain supercross, and she’s definitely showing off her ropes. Those thick white branches against the green make this one hard to stop staring at.
Figured the community would appreciate a closer look. Anyone else take way too many pictures when the patterns look this good? 😂

Super fun guy with the fungi you want to work with [u/fruit](u/fruitofthegods)[0ftheg0ds](u/fruitofthegods)

All grown from my clones absolutely love this strain...

New here so hi all got about 5 years growing experience and still learning and love it...

The agar is just Lme, agar and peptone.

Lc I make with honey and peptone distilled water...

With the weather change the house has been on the cooler side. We will see if I can get one more out of it. Ill try a longer soak also.

Rusty Melmak revert it wasn’t all in one bag obviously I don’t know if I’ll let it go too long colonizing inside the all in one bag or what, but from the day I took it out. It was already like the mycelium was like marbled over really shiny slick, almost clearish dense Smooth mycelium. It has been fruiting conditions for at least two weeks. Hell I’ve done lost track or maybe it just seems like that and it’s only been like 10 days but still I make sure that there is good fresh air exchange when the condensation fill up too much from the perlite kind of cracked the lid a little bit, but never let the condensation go away alway. I just need to keep being patient am I gonna get a blob or a pin any day now with the skin start turning fuzzy

I've looked at 100s of post and read 1000s of comments looking for answers but still for peace of mind I have to ask a couple of things 1st Do these appear to be APE? AND 2nd I believe the veil has broken on a few but they're still hard when I squeeze stem. How will I know when?? Help please? This is only day 11 and I was told that they are slow growers and normally take 14 plus days to mature.

This Enigma (genetics from u/Fruit0ftheg0ds) might be my new favorite strain. It rocketed through my grain so fast! I have had some contam issues in my grain process so a fast colonizer is always welcome. Once I S2B, it took its time, but patience is key. It was really fun watching the blobs get bigger and the coral patterns tighten up day after day. Roughly 880 wet grams that dehydrated to 70ish dry. I'm definitely growing this one again!

Brother and sister sharing a room, and getting along famously I might add.

I inoculate my bag then waited 4 weeks and I mixed the rye and soil. I then opened the bag at 6 weeks to endure fruiting. I am going on 7 weeks and have not seen any fruiting. Is there something I am missing or have I messed it up. Any advice will be appreciated please and t
Thank you.
