These disgusting looking jars are all actually healthy Psilocybe Tampanensis (ATL-7) spawn. I know I made a previous post about the method used for the larger jars in these photos, but I have an update, as well as an interesting comparison I thought I would share. In the first photo I have 4 jars; 2 larger half gallon jars (created from a G2G transfer on 12/24 but using the method previously described) and 2 smaller quart jars (created from a G2G transfer on 12/21) but I only used grains in these smaller jars. All jars came from the same genetics and all used WBS as grain.Photos 2 and 3 show the larger half gallon jars; I took a photo, then rotated 180° and took another photo. I did the same process with the smaller quart jars for photos 4 and 5.All the jars produced truffles, but some of the truffles in the larger jars are triple the size (maybe grape size) and concentrated in the areas I layered hydrated coir. The other reason why I attribute their size as being connected to the coir is the fact that I'm fruiting a tub right now that also has larger truffles, and this tub was also spawned to coir.The smaller quart jars with just grains have more pea-sized truffles that are probably harder to notice. I attempted to do truffles over a year ago and had the same results as this with just grains. It works, but somewhat disappointing. This method of layering hydrated coir with fully colonized spawn (possibly called Violet's Truffle Tek?) is something I would recommend anyone try if you have an interest in truffles.The interesting update I have on this atrocious and long double post is that I noticed a layer of clear liquid inside the tops of my jars. I was concerned but then I remembered that in the tub I'm fruiting, the truffles would "sweat" so it's doesn't seem unordinary. I opened the lids of the half gallon jars to dump off the extra moisture, and to my surprise in both the jars, there were large truffles sticking up to the lid. In the photos with my hand visible, chunks of truffle were stuck to the lid and broke off when I opened it. In hand are the pieces I recovered.
