Mar 4, 2023 · I recommend reading Psilocybe natalensis or cubensis var. natal. Grow them just like any cube. No need for horse manure for substrate. A CVG substrate is enough. Hi fungusul! =D I think you're right that they can be grown exactly like any cube, but I've read a few reports from Natalensis growers like this:

Nov 12, 2021 · The Natalensis LC is unquestionably good- looks like a blizzard of little snowflakes of mycellium. So it may turn out that Natalensis will be the first one I grow- is that a bad idea for a first time grower?

Oct 19, 2024 · The natalensis seems to be overtaking the contaminates, but it's still overlaying. I'm just going to let them both play out, and hopefully my patience will be rewarded. That said, I'm still wondering if I should cut off the mycelial mounds (I don't know the terminology, let me know if there's a technical term denoting what these mounds are ...

Dec 12, 2024 · EDIT by Land Trout 10/22/2023 I’ve changed the thread title from “Psilocybe natalensis or cubensis var. natal” To The official Psilocybe natalensis thread as it is a better fit for how the thread has evolved. Trout

Feb 18, 2022 · Yeah the problem is natalensis is still new and super weird. I don’t think we’ve gotten far enough along yet but at some point it would be a good idea to do a summary of what’s been worked on and found out. In my opinion growing them …

Dec 12, 2024 · UPDATE: The holotype of Psilocybe natalensis has been recently sequence and surprisingly, it doesn't match with what has been circulating as P. natalensis, which is likely an undescribed species. A collection with a matching holotype sequence is seen here.

Aug 7, 2022 · I germinated APE spores and isolated the monokaryons using my isolation technique, then my friend Yoshi Amano germinated Ps. natalensis spores and also isolated them using my technique. He handed me the natalensis monokaryons and I paired them with 16 of my cubensis monokaryons in some multiwell culture plates (48). I did a total of 144 pairings.

Jun 16, 2023 · I also will be attempting to grow Natalensis outdoors (will be doing that later. I am conducting outdoor grow experiments as well. Hoping to find the best variety to dispose of outdoors and can still survive contamination. Many confuse Psilocybe natalensis with Natal super strain (cubensis). One is not apart of the cubensis lineage.

Mar 3, 2024 · Keep going away for the weekend to find my tubs over cooked 🤣 In person they almost look completely blue

Feb 16, 2024 · Natalensis was discovered in Africa and was written as a distinct species from p cubensis. However, we do not have a specific barcode for either as far as I know and they do appear to share a MRCA. If they share a MRCA and they can be crossed...
