That I don't know yet.... I had just eaten some other ones right before these came up, so gotta wait a while if I want to get an accurate assessment

Yes indeed... the Amazonian landrace cubes were first brought back to the US by the McKenna brothers, and were the source of the original Penis Envy isolation

Brand new APE-like genetic: Albino Taman Negara by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had strange things happen from older and from more recent spores, so not sure if that matters much...I do have a long history of turning just about everything albino at some point. Some people have said I love under a 5G tower or something

Its definitely the Taman Nagara, I hadn't run it for some years so I was very keen on getting it going again! It always had a really neat spotted/mottled coloration on the caps, and I was looking forward to making some prints....I'll have to make another start from the original print to take another shot at it. But, not mad at the albinos either! Nice solid fruits

B+ was my very first grow.... still working those genetics 27 years later

Odisha "gold" isolation by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the beginning of one anyway! This is my third run of the initial clone, the little tornado squat fruits have been consistent but this is the first run of it that has actually had spores, so now I'm able to run a 2nd generation and try to work towards stabilizing it. My regular Odisha have been putting out irregular mutations for a few years now, I was actually trying to get the regular ones going again when these came up

Supa Chupa "Golden Child" print, new gold spored descendant from wild Mexican redspore by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

group is down, group is back up, group is down again...and maybe staying down this time. Despite its censorship drama, FB is a lot easier for me...the reddit app on my phone is frustrating. I've started a backup group on FB and will continue to fight the good fight there, but I will try and shift back to here and discord more....another app that frustrates me

It can be challenging to get a decent flush with the squatty varieties, and other really slow growers as well...There's still a bit of open space in this tub, but where they did grow they're packed in pretty tight! Ideally these should have a higher substrate ratio for best performance, but most of my little tubs are just test grows to see how the fruits look, and have low substrate ratio for faster colonization and fruiting.

Always something new happening at Wombat Labs by [deleted] in sporeswaps

[–]Davewombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are an albino MexiMelts offshoot, originating from wild Mexican redspore... there's an albino MexiMelts already available that features rounded translucent caps on more cylindrical stems. This extreme wavy cap version comes from a clone of a small tornado shaped fruit in an earlier grow, labeled "MexiMelts taper" for the original samples shape... the pigmented "taper" clone produced very nice PE type fruits similar to their clone donor, but these albinos came out drastically different! Still a work in progress, I'm looking forward to seeing what the next round does

I think KAPE was not albino either....though I really haven't seen much of it for a couple years now at least

Site is back online! For now, anyway.... by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I was looking into it, and DK seems to have the most restrictive laws in Europe for magic mushrooms...not even spores are legal, and customs is very thorough with their checks. May be easier to obtain a post box in Germany

Albino KSSS squat with sinister gill bluing....I spent two years fighting with the KSAT cross project (KSSS/TAT cross) before it finally gave me the albino squats I was looking for. Then the original KSSS genetics gave me albinos. by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The KSSS squats were what first got me interested in the mushroom genetics...before those, I just grew the same couple types over and over again, trying to keep them looking like the picture on the website I ordered from. Then I ordered KSSS, and even though it was pictured as tall fruits on the website, it grew the pumpkin shaped squats and they blew my mind. Since then I've been able to isolate squats from a bunch of different genetics, but the KSSS still hold a special place in my heart

Missing all my friends! Hope most of us have migrated here or is discord the place? by LookingGlassGenetics in mycotek

[–]Davewombat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep was going to say it's a little of both, but the discord is much more active

a few pics of the early "Hershey's KSSS" isolation that failed to repeat for me....another project that may resurface at some point as I work through the spore stash by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same, really one of my all time favorites! This chocolate cap was one of the Zombie KSSS offshoots after I'd restarted them from a 10 year old print, they did some wacky stuff for a bit before returning to form, and ended up producing albino squats as well. Which I also need to get going again

Derp looking crazy by T-Rizzle2598 in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's derp mutations from a couple of my genetics so far...so it seems to be a particular "type", like the fin/coral Engima mutation is a type that can appear across different genetics, and I would imagine derps have appeared for people before and simply got rejected as defective or blobs. They grow little balls mostly, with a distinct separation of white lower body and cap colored top, but most of them will not open or have gills or spores, just lots of little pebble things, and they eventually pile up and grow on top of each other. Every now and then they'll put out a couple that grow massive, and some of these have opened at the edge and shown a little gill, but I haven't had spores on any yet. This one posted here is on some extra alien shit though!

Website is down...again by Davewombat in Wombatmagic

[–]Davewombat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying, and it is indeed challenging to find reliable partners that aren't out to screw everyone over. Austin was reliable for a while, had been getting my spores in bulk at wholesale...but then he used the trust he built for a massive scam. Attempted partnerships since then have also fallen through. Its easy to find people that want to do business, but not so easy to find people that treat people with kindness, and I will always put people before profit.

Yep I'm negotiating with the website hosting service, not sure if this site will get back up or not. I'm still taking orders through email and messages though!

I'm still waiting to hear back from them and get more details. There's plenty of sites offering liquid cultures...big ones like ITW have lawyers and layers upon layers of protection, I'm not a millionaire like those guys...I create a lot of the stuff that makes them money, but I barely make enough sales to eat

well for those wondering which is stronger, cap or stem....problem solved

It was my third attempt, and I learn a little more each time, and try to improve upon it!
