More brown than red in the center; I'll get a picture in a few days when the current flush gets bigger. Is red a thing with these? The pictures I've seen are pretty similar to other mexicana...

Of the mexicana section, which are the fastest spore to fruit if things go well? I've got a lot of prints thanks to you folks and a couple of other things and I'm trying to sort out what I can reasonably achieve and how to alot my space. I think I want to keep one FC basically for Semperviva and mexican species, and the other for pans, but I have limited space in the FC that is sort of "always high humidity and always fresh air" that the Semperviva have basically grown themselves in.

In my experience tampanensis is very fast and forgiving, approximately the same timeline as cubes. It's the easiest and most abundant fruiter of the mexicanae species I've grown. Also a very good one to eat---clean, beautiful, gentle. 3g is about as potent as 5-6g cubensis.

With Atl and tamps I always got decent caps.


A lot of the fruits are still young but the ones that have opened all the way look mature and there still so tiny.

I think those look amazing-- and if it's anything like some other grows I've seen, you'll get some larger cap sizes as they flush moves through time-- I wouldn't worry if I were you -- great work!!

On the 15th the very first picture is tamp, the second is gallindoi and the third growing in the bag is supposed to be chicon nindo I hope. I can say that it doesn’t look like any tamp that I’ve grown just because the caps are pale to grey and none are really red at all. I know that at the time I did the nindo I didn’t have tamp cuvltures around to mix up. That first picture from the 15th of the supposed tamp is actually a mushroom I found in my garden where I had planted some cambo spawn And I printed it and grew it out and when I spawned it I knew it was mexicana. But I plant everything so there’s really no telling but from the cap I just assumed tamp because I had only planted tamp, atl, and Jalisco at the time.
The chicon nindo strain can definitely be quite varied in appearance, but this picture doesn't look at all like tampanensis to me. It looks very much like the chicon nindo specimens I've grown.
This one in the bag on the other hand, looks exactly like pretty much all of the tampanensis or galindoi/ATL fruits I've seen. I wonder if your tampanensis (or galindoi/ATL) spores were mislabeled as chicon nindo and vice-versa?
Regardless, I'd be happy to send you a true chicon nindo print, feel free to PM me if you want one.

Not an impressive grow, but here's an example of how easy growing Ps. mexicana can be - PF tek, multispore, cased in the jars with coir/vermiculite/CaCO3. The lid of the tub has some holes covered in 3M transpore medical tape. I mist enough to keep the casings moist (once every couple/few days), with no additional misting or fanning required. Temperature is 75-77F.
The cakes aren't in sync, so some are pinning as others are maturing...

They are the best of the best, at least of all the species I’ve sampled thus far.

The ones on the left are supposedly "chicon nindo" and the ones on the right "huatla de jimenez", but I'm not certain if that's true. I'd had spore syringes sitting in the fridge for too long, so I thought I should do a little grow to get some spore prints for the future...
Thinking I might start a tub of these some time soon; they're very charming mushrooms.
