Harvested Results First timelapse of something other than golden teacher. These came as a bonus, had no idea what to expect.

The pins I focused on turned out to be a blob, it never opened..

Was the blob pure mycelium? Or did it have gills? Be cool if more snowballs started getting out there, ime pe blobs or blobs in general have gills inside, i guess these snowballs are densely packed mycelium food storage for the mycelium called sclerotium.

Also cool strain, I thought it was snowballs then those caps came out of no where!

That blob that showed up first had no gills. Thanks for the info!

That's cool, you should see if you can replicate it and clone it. Pope joseph has a lot of information on how he cloned his culture and how long it took to make stable, although i can't say for certain it is sclerotia but you may be able to make that call by looking at his stuff.

It was already dried, I'll have to see what it looks like now, I know it's possible to get a culture from dried, but requires a lot of transfers and I am not really setup for that. I'll look into Pope joseph.
