Hope you like these pictures... cubensis of unkown origin
The cake grew in a tukey bag innoculated with spore solution
Birthed twelve days later and cased with verm and peat moss, then placed in a ten gallon tank (fruiting chamber)
The mix is: 3 cups shredded and pasteurized cow manure
5 cups vermiculite
1.5 cups pure water
...mix well and pressure cook for one hour
I used duct tape to stick a tyvek circle to a turkey bag for this experiment, filled with mix closed/sealed with tape and pressure cooked 60 - 70 minutes

lookin good there
cool to see that you didn't use any higher nutrient substrait and still got nice results
it does look like the fruits might have caught a case of Verticillium
which you can normaly tell by those stripes, and weird lumpy shaped stems
might wanna consider uping the air exchange to help fight the bacteria

I really can't see any vert in any of those pictures. It just looks like the flash is reflecting off parts of the stem, I didn't really see any weird shapes like the vert thread had..

a few hours later, this is when I like to harvest them, before most of the spores drop.
I should exchange the air more; two air exchanges is all I have been giving them, morning and evening. I have noticed similarities in the fruitbodies in this strain from cake to cake. some stems are more gnarly than others, some split/burst open. They are hollow stemmed (not solid like the Ban Hua Thanon I also have going) but they are SOLID. Sometimes they break at the base when they reach this size.
