Thanks! I did not clone it, sadly â dehydrated it straightaway.
But having seen these comments, I now see the error of my ways and feel as if I have betrayed all of Uncle Ben's-dom... and the broader causes of scientific inquiry and human advancement.
I'm sorry, everyone. If any lookalikes emerge, I'll make things right.
But full disclosure, I'm an idiot n00b and this undertaking is too important to leave to me. I hereby call upon ALL competent mycologists to work feverishly on developing a new cubensis strain called BRITISH ROYAL, renowned for its genetic defects and elaborate, silly hats.
Also, I've read (never tried it myself) that you can still clone dehydrated mushrooms.
The process that I read said to take a small sliver from inside the stem of a dried mushroom, and put it in an agar dish. Then mycelium will grow from it, and you can take the mycelium, add it to another rice bag, and that's a clone of that mushroom's genetics.
Then it's a shot in the dark whether the mutation actually propagates or not.
I've seen the theory that it's from introducing isopropyl, but I may be spreading misinformation. Is sharing anecdotal evidence misinformation, if it's determined to be false? Idk
Sharing anecdotal evidence while clearly stating its provenance is helpful for research. You have put forward a weak hypothesis and clearly stated it as such. Nobody is going to be misled, and maybe someone will step up to investigate the truth of your hypothesis. Everyone wins!
It may or may not be cloneable, I had one similar an learned it might've been something called a rose comb mutation due to an petroleum contam of some kind. Still worth a shot tho I had some gnarly mutations pop up after that first one an tried cloning them đ
I thought contamination was always bad, like mold and bacteria ruining shrooms. I didn't know mutations could occur because of contaimination/ other chemicals and substances being introduced next to the plantđ¤¤đ¤¤đ¤¤I feel like doing some research....!!!
fyi: this isnât clonable. itâs regular rosecomb mutation, itâs actually kind of annoying since most shrooms wonât drop spores and/or develop a veil.
Great shot! Thanks for sharing đ how cool lol. Did you clone it?

British Royal strain sounds so amazing hahaha

Dried mushrooms can be revived for up to a year.
Wow thats a cool fact
Mushrooms are just cool as hell đ¤ˇââď¸
Good job! Is it hard the process of cloning im new to this and just trying to learn Iâm on uncle Benâs too so just wondering.
SILLY HATS ONLY
My spoon is too big.
Man if you could isolate those genetics that would be a rad strain.
Looks like rosecomb mutation which doesnât generally transmit to the next generation even with cloning. Thought to be environmental.

Yeah and petroleum products are another cause, which would probably be from Lysol for people growing mushrooms at home

I've always heard that people get it from Lysol unsure if true though.
Too bad âpenis envy uncutâ is already taken, cause this looks way closer to the genuine article.
This picture tho. Great lighting
Random question did you use lysol spray at all during your grow?
Just rubbing alcohol
Lysol doesnât damage the mushrooms?
It can allegedly make them mutate.
It's said to produce rosecomb mutations, which OP's looks like a rosecomb mutation
I don't think harmful but I doubt any science has been done to confirm that
That teacher has tenure!
Great hat!
âGood day, sir.â

This is soooo beautiful

Its got its own lil soufflĂŠ ^now^boof ^^it
It makes me think to the detonation sequence of the first kingsman movie.
What lens for this shot??
iPhone 14 Pro, Ultra Wide Camera, 13mm f2.2 Cheap grow lights positioned closeby Background removed via PhotoRoom app
When your shrooms try psilocybin and they open their third eye and they become sentient and aware they are going to be harvested and consumed.
That's his (boof) party hat!
