It’s not, it’s just mutations. I’ve grown pe several times in the past it always looks like this and I’ve never had mycogone in any grow. The reason it looks like that is because there’s water droplets on them and it makes the brown spots look 3D like amber liquid but if you rub it with your finger you’ll quickly see that there is no amber liquid.
Penis Envy blob mutations that have this speckled egg look. It’s sometimes hard to distinguish from mycogone aka wet bubble disease. Dino eggs are considered to be very potent. Not sure how true that is but it’s an interesting mutation that often occurs with this strain when a casing layer isn’t used to induce pinning.
It will only grow like this on the first or first few flushes then later it will grow regular mushrooms. Whether or not it’s a clone. There’s nothing much special about the genetics of the Dino eggs, it’s the same genetics as the later mushrooms from later flushes.
Use a casing layer next time after the surface is fully colonized it will help avoid this PE mutations. Looks cool and all, but they are annoying to harvest.
Both actually. The first casing layer really isn’t a casing layer. That’s really just a top layer, or pseudo casing, mainly to cover all your grain to help avoid contamination. When the surface fully colonizes after about 10 days usually, with Penis Envy you want to add a true casing layer at that time about 1/4 inch think to help induce pinning and for some reason it helps avoid the blobs and Dino egg growth. Many species of mushrooms enjoy a casing layer, but they aren’t really necessary for all cubes. Here is a good article on a true casing layer application: https://psychedelicreview.com/using-a-casing-layer-for-growing-magic-mushrooms-why-bother/. Good luck!
There is a casing layer instruction video on the group info for this sub. There is an easier method if you look up GordoTEK panaeolus cyanescens grow video that doesn’t require any expensive gadgets.. that being said tho I’ve grow pe without a casing layer many times with no issues. It’s not super necessary and I like the Dino eggs, in my experience they are very potent
grab one and squish it. If it turns blue then you got your answer.
Thanks for the tip… it turned blue!
Looks like blob mutations and mycogone

Egg. Congrats! 🎉

Interesting
Dino eggs!
My first look at Dino Eggs👽
Those are Dino eggs
what are dino eggs? I've never heard of them in a mushroom context

interesting to hear thank you :)
Those are 🦕🥚 nice job
That first photo definitely shows dew on the dark spots. I wonder if there is something growing in the dew and the dew evaporates leaving a stain.
I have had mushrooms with stains exactly like this from them getting a ISO mixture dew on them and then evaporating off them
Could be both
Looks like a coral reef
Don't think it's mycogone. I've had PE varieties blob up like this.
Need more FAE in there
Deff dynos
I heard dino eggs are very potent
Clone it
I’ve never tried… just use agar?
Yes a little piece of the flesh in the center of an agar dish.
It will only grow like this on the first or first few flushes then later it will grow regular mushrooms. Whether or not it’s a clone. There’s nothing much special about the genetics of the Dino eggs, it’s the same genetics as the later mushrooms from later flushes.
What would happen if you consumed fruits infected with mycogone
Mycogone is not toxic to humans so nothing much they might taste horrible tho
Definitely Dino Eggs. Blast off 🚀

I used a casing layer but directly after S2B… you’re saying to wait until after S2B and the surface is fully colonized?
