Comments:\u00a0<\/b>El Choco was isolated in 2020 by Dave Wombat from the TAT Syndicate Facebook group, as a random mutation of the common B+ variety. El Choco exhibits a very unique phenotype\u2014generally squat carpophores with chocolate brown pileus and gills. Needless to say, the genetics of this one are fascinating.\u00a0The fruiting body bears a striking resemblance to Shiitake (Lentinula edodes<\/i>) when young.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Habitat:<\/b>\u00a0Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils
\nClimate:<\/b>\u00a0Subtropical<\/p>\n

Strain Origin:<\/b>\u00a0TAT<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cap:<\/b>\u00a0Up to 50+ mm in diameter, hemispheric, then broadly convex at maturity occasionally with slight umbo. Dark chocolate brown spotted with white fibrils. Surface dry. Flesh white soon bruising bluish green.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stem:<\/b>\u00a030-70 mm in length, yellowish to buff. Flesh bruising bluish green where injured. Persistent membranous annulus (ring) from partial veil that becomes dusted with purple brown spores at maturity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gills:<\/b>\u00a0Attachment adnate to adnexed. Chocolate brown coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

California, Idaho, Florida, and Georgia residents:<\/b>\u00a0Orders requesting Psilocybe Genera material shipped to California, Idaho, Florida, and Georgia will be refused, voided, or refunded. Possession of these mushroom spores may be illegal in CA, ID, FL, and GA without the proper permissions.<\/p>\n

So, what exactly is an Isolate?<\/b>\u00a0In contrast to the\u00a0multi-spore syringes<\/a>\u00a0(MS), which contain a wide variety of genetic material in tens of thousands of spores, our isolates (ISO) contain only one set of genes. This assures that it will perform consistently and uniformly in your research. In instances where genetic diversity is desired, we recommend our multi spore (MS) products. When predictability is preferred, isolates (ISO) are the best choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
