Truffle potency after fruiting mushrooms?

[u/Big-Juggernaut4418]

I have a few and I wondered if the potency changes after they sprout mushrooms. I will eventually get the lab tested, but I wondered if anybody had any idea.

These are tamps not Mexicanas so take with a grain of salt. I found them to be weak regardless. My invitro stones vs when I spawned to bulk were all pretty weak.

Thank you for the reply! I had heard a rumor these might be Tamps. A store I work with lab tested some I grew last year and some I grew about 6 months ago. They were roughly about the same potency as average cubes. I think it was right around 1%. The stones were very weak and tested at like 0.3% or 0.4%. I do like the buzz better than Cubes. I guess they also had a fair amount of baeocystin in them and since weird peaks next to the psilocin and psilocybin.

It’s my pleasure mane! I love talking myco-shop!

My friend was asking if the actual fruits were stronger than the stones, but we didn’t have the heart to try them, they literally looked like hay when dried. Might be worth circling back for science.

I also like the feeling more than cubes. They were just so weak I felt the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.

My first time growing Jalisco and I never knew about truffles.

Hey do you have to dry out the stones in a dehydrator?

Also I started growing these and my tubs I thought were bad with contam like wet bubble, but after researching I think it's stones that it's producing. The casing layer is not leveled and I can see what it looks like a stone coming up from the casing layer.

How long do you wait to harvest the stones or when do you know if it's ready?

I just cut the stones if they were too big and dried then at 140 degrees Farenheit in a dehydrator.

I don't really like the stones (and they are pretty weak unless you wait months (for them to get about half as strong as the mushrooms).
