    Mushroom not sporulating at full maturity

    I have a transkei in a p.f. cake that has fully matured and is not developing spores at all. I have read about this happening before but I was wondering if there could be any benefit from this phenomenom? Should I clone this mushroom? Why is it not sporulating? The bottom is just super white.

    Well, while spores are thought to cause sickness feeling....maybe you could get passed that.

    Some just dont drop spores, like some people cant have children.

    I wouldnt clone for any reason other than "I want to have many duplicates of that mushroom." for size, color, potency, etc.

    Just curious.

    I wonder if sporulation is a function of relative humidity.

    I've had the same thing happen with a species that I would love to get prints from.
    I'm hoping others will weigh in on this one as well.

    As for non-spore producing sub strains - I would imagine that this is possible but have no data to support this idea.

    So higher RH= more spores Myc? or vice versa? I'm a little

    That makes two of us!
    I don't know either.
    I think dropping humidity will induce sporulation - but that's just my guess.
    That's why I was hoping for more experience as I haven't had a chance to experiment yet.
