r/Psilocybe_Natalensis

About 3 weeks since S2B, ochras.

Syringe said p nat. Im assuming the liquid is myc piss. Is the blob just a mutation? Are they long and stringy from a lack of fae?

Natal Hill s2b to this 14 days. Used pinning agar after cloning the pin. Will run the clone next.

Gibt es Erfahrungen zu Wachstum stärke etc.? Ist das ein natalensis oder ein Ochraceocentrata? Danke im voraus

I just harvested the 9th ochra flush from a 27qt tub I started in early april. Only produced 8-10 fruits. But some big ones.

If anyone could help me understand whats going on here i would greatly appreciate it!

I had colonized a grain bag about 90% and then broke n mixed it into substrate, then i layered vermiculite lightly on top & have misted top of tub every few days. Once i did all that and let the cake re-colonize i opened up 4/6 micropore holes & introduced ambient lighting at 12/12.

When the cake re-colonized, it was a thick fluffy but transparent overlay over the whole cake. Then as the days went on after introducing fruiting conditions. The cloudy overlay pulled back & organized lots of hard white knots. Day 18 i see a super small malformed side pin. Days go on and knots harden, more show up & now i am starting to see less knots show.

I do see about 2-3 bruises on knots as well & have stayed about the same over past few days. Ever so light glistening sheen among the cakes surface. How should i go about this?

I hear Nats can take 2 months to fruit & then 3 weeks. I’m unsure which is correct, Any tips?

First time growing NSS. Got some cool side fruits growing. Need a second opinion if this is mould. If it is what can I do to rescue this it feels like a good run.

Seen a few other posts in here this could be signs of Nats bruising and NOT contamination. Would love for a pro to confirm

Its not smelly sour or slimey but there is this sort of yellow or green. It hasnt been growing very aggressively.

Temps around 20 c for past week or so. Manure coco vermiculite mix.

Conditions look great to me but unsure whether it needs manual intervention for FAE or let it ride.

currently using micropore tape with direct air gaps at the top for good passive FAE.

Does it need misting?

6 days since s2b

Modified tub, the holes are closed.

1:2 ratio, pseudo casing.

How should i proceed?

The veil is breaking but they still look pretty small should I harvest need a response soon

Months to fruit and sparse pins but one big funny looking fruit I should get a swab from.

My first ever mushroom grow I have a couple tubs but this is my biggest and oldest one, still haven't harvested it and I made it on 3/26/26, I try to air them and humidify via humidifier with a hose in the tub and recently started misting the tubs with a spray bottle which i think is better however i still use the humidifier a little just in case. all of my tubs have small outward facing fans and poly fil holes, this large one has one outward fan on the opposite corner from an inward facing fan that blows through poly fil before entering the tub. my other tubs are shoebox size and do much better, one on its third flush and the other is on its second, i'll add pictures of those as well but recently the mushrooms in the big tub all started bruising and i noticed cobweb looking stuff on the cake that leaves no residue on a qtip swab. i've heard it could either be mycelium reacting to too much co2 and bruising from the lack of oxygen or it could be they're dying and it's cobweb mold but i was hoping someone with more experience here could help me figure it out
