What do I need to know about sclerotia?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


What is it ?
What species form sclerotia?
How can slerotia be cultivated?
How can sclerotia be consumed?
How does the potency of P. mexicana and P. tampanensis sclerotia compare to P. cubensis fruitbodies?



What is it ?

A sclerotium (plural: sclerotia) is a hardened mass of mycelium which is more resistant to adverse environmental conditions than normal mycelium.
Sclerotia form from the mycelium of certain mushroom species as a defense mechanism against dryness, cold, heat, or excessive moisture. Sclerotia contain approximately 30% dry matter. The potency of dry sclerotia is around 2/3 that of dry P. Cubensis fruitbodies.
(As with every mushroom, the potency can vary depending on the mushroom strain, substrate composition and other factors)

What species form sclerotia?

Psilocybe mexicana and Psilocybe tampanensis both form sclerotia. The “A

High Ace,

Sclerotia is not made by the Cubensis Mexican!
But by Psilocybe Mexicana (a strain)
And not available at the FSRE /forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[ACE101]

That's quite sad to hear /forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I guess I'll have to try to find them from an online site. Oh well, I still want to give it a try.

 

[MeneerCactus]

Sclerotia does not produce spores but the fungy can produce very nice mushrooms!

 

[ghotta]

you can find sclerotia at

www.sporeworks.com & many more other strains

high guys!with all that sclerotia talk i got a bit confused,and since i just received today my package of Philosophers stones,and it´s the first time i´m going to try this mushies,i was wondering if anyone could tell me about the usage methods do i have to eat them or can i boil them in some tea (isn't heat going to eliminate potency of sclerotia?),and what is the main difference i can expect from them,comparing to the cubensis? Thanks!

Stay Cool!!!

 

[Guest]

just eat them. I heard they taste better than cubensis...

 

[ACid_BuRN]

Ok,i'll do that.But i was wondering,how long can i keep the philosophers stones,and if so,what's the best way to do that?(refrigerator?).Do i have to take them fresh or do they still work when dried? thanks.
