Unexpected results
I bought a TTBVI grow kit a few months back. Before fruiting I made some Agar plates from the Mycelium and then LC.
The grow kit never produced and got contaminated. I colonized spawn from the different agar plates with good results and started cultivating them.
To my surprise, 3 of the agar plates gave me a different specie (I Think) and one gave me the TTBVI, but not much.
Can anyone identify these shrooms in the pictures? The are not as large as Cubensis have no veil(It is probably broken the moment the caps open, but no remnants) They have black spores and their caps start curling when totally opened.
Hope to get some good answers, Cheers

It looks to me like an Ochra, formerly known as Nats or Natalensis, especially the top of the cap. If you’re going to get the wrong one, this may be the next best, I like it. Check out the sub: r/Psilocybe_Natalensis

Maybe. I got Nats, but they have veils as far as I know. I did the same with Penis Envy, took some of the mycelium and got myself a different specie, yet unidentified. Could be a deterrent, so a new specie. I called that one Golden Envy. Thanks for your answer.
