P. Natalensis, first flush of first tub - got some deformities, but I accept them into my harvest and stock like any other (as long as they arent rotted, or showing signs of contamination).
These fruits are very interesting in person... that attach lightly to the substrate, pulling up easily without tearing any substrate in large clumps.. like grass... the stipes are like... a pearlescent, shimmery white... and they actually FELT different in my fingers compared to p. cubensis varieties;
as I cover in an instagram reel, Natal is an isolated wild strain that has been confirmed as a separate, more contaminant resistant (and more vigorous) species Psilocybe natalensis (P. Natal).
The fruits matured fast, and sporulated within 6 hours (if not faster) of first noted veil break. The first photo in this set is 1 day before the rest of the photos in the set, for reference :)
Check my instagram for pics of the plates of the mycelium from these genetics... super, duper intense mycelium. Just... wow.
