Tyler Whole oats...or? 

Maybe for simple growing advice sure but far as breeding/storage/more advanced stuff that has not been my experience on the cordy group. Especially in the last 8 months, questions go ignored and posts unapproved. Jeff is great I like him a lot and we talk but even he has cut back on sharing specific breeding info. I get why and all but it's frustrating, looking forward to more info being widely shared. I will happily continue to support both Ryan and Jeffs work don't get me wrong I just don't like the aura of it all.

Gets me more excited than anything, you never have any idea what it looks like or how it behaves based on the OG donor. 

David Medlock Yeah I even took samples from the fruiting block itself to agar just to be certain, still nothing but distinct COW hyphae.

See I assumed (never assume) it got the Sulphereus bit from the sulfur coloration of the pore surface...but rotten eggs is exactly the smell a distinct sulfur odor. Curious if cincnnatus will do the same thing...

Can we talk about the pungent odor of substrate when growing COW for a bit? I have heard others mention it but wow its rank, I was convinced it was bacterial but plates are all clean and I can't find it. Anyone else experienced it?

thanks Gregor! I started plating them and sending to dark incubation then cold. Any preference on agar mix that would be best? They seemed to like MEAP so far over others but haven't gotten crazy with it yet. Is peptone a bad idea in this case?
