| Psilocybe Cubensis {Hawaiian} CAP (size - shape stages - colors) Dome shaped to plane. This one doesn't upturn much in extreme maturity. The colors are the usuall flesh (caucasion) color, deep. STEM (length - girth - flesh - colors) Sllender to thick - whitish when young and mature. It is fibrous and sturdy with a medium length. VEIL (deliquescent - partly deliquescent - persistant anulus) The veil is persistant leaving a well defined Stropharia type of anulus. It breaks clean off of the gills and forms a "turtle neck sweater" type of anulus. SPORULATION (at what developement stage does it begin?) Sporulation is rampant and begins soon after the veil breaks. And it might even begin as the veil breaks leaving a decidedly purple colored anulus. This shroom is a fast maturer. TENACIOUSNES (Strength of attachment of the stem base to the cake) Good tenaciousness, stable during growth and easily picked clean of substrate hanging on. SHAPE SHIFTING (shapes and changes of flush to flush - strain to strain) The Hawaiian is a serious shape shifter. From large thick stemed specimens to small petite delicate stemed shrooms. SIZE TENDANCIES (overall size of the mushroom at maturity) Small to almost as big as they get. GESTATION PERIOD (generalized time of primordia appearance after inoculation) Slower than the PF race. Invitro primordiation is usually unsatisfactory, and birthing and casing are required about after a month. POTENCY (This simply comes down to how fast the shroom loses its latent potency - relating to the advent of sporulation) As long as this shroom is picked before any purple is observed, it is a good shroom. FLUSHING (Ability to repeat flush) The Hawaiian might be the best at this. First second and third flushes are easy and always look great. They change radically from strain manisfestaion to strain manisfestation, flush to flush. Very few aborts develope with the Hawaiian. |
