Rodger Rabbit is being sent a spore sample of FMRC's Red Spore Producing Ps. cubenis. It will go off to him postal mail today 6/18/04. Perhaps when he receives it, he will take a good close up picture to show its actual true color, and post it here for all to see. When the print is fresh and wet, it displays more of the Red color. As the print dries, it gets more brownish. I detected the same thing with PF's Red Spore pictures I have. The spores are at 20 years old, but still looked very good. I worked some 25 years with mushrooms like Psilocybe, but now work only on Amanita and other mycorrhiza type mushrooms. If you do have success with getting a live culture, please attach the phrase "FMRC's" to all spores and cultures as to not upset the PF dude. He seems to be saving his for something.....like having it named after himself. I think the variation of "RED Spore" is all that is needed with FMRC's strain. I certainly don't care if the variation is not named after me......Good Luck and don't have too much fun Rodger........You have Postal Mail. slp/fmrc

Cool Rodger, I hope in the future I might be able to obtain a print.
Thanks Stephen for setting that up!

Nice, I'd love to see that get spread around mycotopia.

that's awesome stephen,that wacky wabbit definitely deserves this!!&

Nice Stephen, glad to see it was given out for some to study!

Hope it makes its way around. ;)

I am deeply honored.
Anxiously awaiting delivery.

[alpiner]

rodge have fun hope you can get some of those to germ
again good luck!

[psilly]

Yes, I would like to echo that I hope this strain is spread. Why keep something like this in the closet?!

[roc]

Everything comes out of the closet sooner or later... even off colored cubie spores!

20 year old spores? You will need an act of god to germinate them.

Rodger has a blue thumb...

/me runs around in circles trying not to foul the carpet. Mrs Rabbit is on the phone to the little men in white coats, convinced ol rodger has finally lost it. It has arrived! Those are some serious red spores there friend!

Now, to make those twenty year old children come to life....

Everyone Pray. These are for the group.

YAY!!! super bad-ass!! very kind of you Mr. Peele.

fahtster

I do believe that you will have the prayers of every member here during the resurrection.

Good luck Rodg and thanks Stephen for doing this... bring them babies back to life!!

Go Rodger Go!

lol nice. that made me laugh. cute little buggers... little prayin smilies.

fahtster

GROW!

I know a guy who tried to bring a 15 yr old print back to life to no avail....

But you never know....

Do a dance for the shroom gods.

post a pic if you can.

good luck!

i'd soak the spores in a very mild nute solution before trying to germinate any....

With old spores isn't it best to slowly raise humidity to germinate?

[shedthemonkey]

Sending Good Instant Karma your way. Take a pic of the print Roger?
PlEEEEEEase?

Wishing you MUCHO success.

[psilly]

Rodger: I'm very curious what your plan of action is. Maybe you could fill us in on what you have in mind.

[dustofangels]

Hope everything goes well!!

if anybody can do it,rodger can!!
much "SUCSESS" sky!!

good luck Rog

The saga begins. . .

Whoa, that must be intimidating.

[sleepwalker]

thats alot of pressure man.just hope and pray it works.this place kicks ass.well atleast i got a glance at them just incase it doesnt.but who knows maybe in the near future i will be able to order something like that due to your calling in this highly anticipated event.

Rodger,

Would you be willing to start a thread of your own dedicated to documenting everything you do with the red spores? The photos you posted with the spores and letter are a great way to start!

I'd love to see how you proceed.

Perhaps if/when they germinate. . .

wishing you the best of luck rodger.

may the fungods rain spores on you.

I think it will work. An act of God is not impossible or improbable.

That looks pretty big. How many F-ups
will a sample that size allow you?
Mah lady friend and ah's wishin' u the best o' luck.

[billyboy]

Good luck Rog!

does anyone know what strain of cubensis has the best visuals?

Any of them. UP UP UP your dose.
And visions of <insert>
will dance in your head.



PS: have fun!! I know I have made peace
with my monsters

oops it supposed to say monsters where is says <insert>

As far as strain goes, I like creepers,
and Golden Teacher.

PS: i do it for the visions

As far as visuals go, I've always had the best luck with freshies. I read somewhere on here that it may be because Baeocystin causes visuals and mostly breaks down during drying, but I saw/have no proof for it.

I have had good luck with the old PF strain, and AMZ in general, I am looking forward to seeing if what I have heard of EQ is true.

honestly,
no.
but everyone has their opinion.
i have tried dozens of different strains
and i cannot say any was better than the
others, at least in terms of visuals.
like they said above,
dose plays a far more important role.
10-14 dry grams of any strain
will send you on a vision you'll never forget.
if you remember it.

"will send you on a vision you'll never forget.

Heh heh. I think there are a lot of us out there not ready for such a dose.

It might have been my post you read about the Psilocybe Baeocystin. I honestly have no experience with it, I only read that in a mushroom ID book. Also, in the Audobon guide it's referred to as "Potent Psilocybe."

I can say that the only times I've had open eye visuals have been after eating fresh cubensis, so it makes sense that the baeocystin breaks down in drying.

However, you also have to look at the fact that when you eat food raw, whether it's fruit, vegetables, or meat, they contain enzymes that aid tremendously in digestion. And obviously fresh, chewed up mushrooms are going to pass through you way faster than little dry, hard bits. So, it may simply be this reason that fresh mushrooms give a shorter trip, higher peak, while dry mushrooms take a lot more for open eye visuals, and the trip lasts longer.

Peace

for this i must recomend Mushie Tea
with my usual dose if i make it into some tea i blast off into outer space
it only takes about 5 min. for take off and imo it is a much stronger trip

So it sounds like a good thing to try would be to eat a combo of dry &amp; fresh mushies to get an intense long trip w/ good visuals. Think I just may try that when I get my next flush. I already had some pretty strong visuals from freshies and I'ld probably say the peak (wich was intense) lasted about 2.5 hrs. The whole trip about 4-4.5 hrs.
