Yes, 100% coir, only. 

 

I have never decided what to add to it....lots of recipes out there....is there a "next step up from coir only" recipe that is recommended? 

[Julianie]

Fruit stem to agar.

A2A a couple times

A2G

1:3 coir, earthworm castings, verm.

A handful of gypsum.

 

These are all short & fat from shoebox tub in a northern facing window.

 

Do these look like ARX?

Has anyone looked into colchicine incorporated in the fruitings?

 

Mikey:  You note that ARX produces few spores but I obtained 8 spore prints today with no problem  from a first flush.  The prints are red like redboy.   While the criticism of colchicene  as toxic was elaborated upon and well merited  I would think that  generation there would be  no colchicine incorporated in the fruitings? No?  Sort of like feminized seed treatment?

So what Im getting from this thread is that it requires some obscure and potentially dangerous treatment in order to produce hybrids?

 

or is that just a more reliable shortcut?

 

cause I have seen answers both ways

No, this only states that you can create hybrids from two dycarion strains using this colchicum.

Elrick has a guide to create hybrids from two monocarion strains.

This thread’s purpose is to gather as much information as possible into one place for reference and to discuss the history of how colchicum has been used medicinally, in botany and mycology. It will be a place where I can store citing and info collected as well as what other have to add. Share my work and progress with the input from others that are familiar with the many beneficial uses these alkaloids have with many of the likeminded hobbies we read about here on Mycotopia. Also, a place for others to share their knowledge and experience.

Everything is for informational purposes only and I would not suggest to anyone to refine their own colchicine because of FDA regulations giving ULR Pharma exclusive rights to the Brand Colcrys, Colchicine is a regulated drug in the US. It is illegal to possess without a prescription and a federal offense to use in any other way that it is intended to use. However, most of the information available to the public is specific to Colchicine even though we are discussing naturally occurring alkaloids from colchicum Autumnale and some other species of plant that contain the same alkaloids.and all information to be contained here is for reference. Also arguably there are risks associated that I want to be addressed here with documentation. These alkaloids ARE toxic and hormesis. Do not attempt to repeat the result of information found in this now or in the future with the proper organic chemistry knowledge and education. The abstracts the will be added here are for informational learning only.

I am just wanting a one place resource to store my finding and share my work. Also to bring awareness to the uses of colchicum and for Botanical and Mycology uses. I have personal experience with hybrid “Dikariotic” fungi strains with very successful and mixed results which I want to study more and release the information I have collected.

Please stay on topic and contribute what you have, know and find. I am especially calling out Microbe here to add his knowledge and experience

I will be adding and editing stuff as time permits. A lot of studies information is in science journals over the last hundred year. Many good papers that cost me money and have to acquire permission before can post them.

This will be under construction for some time but will be edited into a clean abstract at some point. A placeholder per se. Please include a reference and sources to whatever anyone may add that involves specific information regarding said alkaloids and avoid adding hearsay. Be advised that hearsay comments are subject to removal at the OP’s request. All information is welcome if it can be proven not to be hearsay. If anyone has any issue or concerns please contact me or report it and I will be happy to address with you.

I think i have some blended mycelium of your hybrid.....imma going to try it out!

[DarkNchildlike]

What do you mean by blended?

[Microbe]

What do you mean by blended?

Blended mycelium suspended it sterile water.

Oh lol woops I dont know what i was thinking it late or something. Thanks. Wanna see your fruits for sure if it is ! :)

Good luck :)

This going to sound arrogant and im sorry, but this cube is going to fruit......i will make it fruit. Thank you for the good vibes and i will share the grow for sure. I know the creator had worked on it for a few years.....maybe more so i need to fruit it. Im kind of excited to be able to do so.
