Giving this a try though. It's a mini scale of pretty much what Samuel of OM is doing. At least as best as I could imagine his broth recipe, he left pretty much just the right amount of info on a FB chat once. Oats Bro🤘

It's a cross of 1 Albino strain (TT27 wGH5 #9w) and these pictured are grown in Jars. The other 2 methods I call bags or mono tubs. All of which I guess obviously provided a different environment even if you scale or proportion up or down equally in broth/grain. Different strains do very differently though and this one for example id say isn't worth jars as it only grows a few really big ones but in bags it does really well/many. In the mono tubs it produces 100% orange Cordyceps but only a few here and there, some will be 100% albino and the majority are aspects of both parents like the "Variegated" look Ryan Paul Gates was going for. The SVP has produced some of the finest looking Cordyceps in jars but in bags were incredibly small.

Pretty solid strain from Ryan Paul Gates. They have gotten to be fingers across the 3 main ways to grow for me. Very beautiful mushrooms.

BenJamin HarderIm not sure yet. I was told that what I'd dropped off was being tested for fricken anything and everything pretty much. I feel like the SVP #13 is going to do well. IME albinos have been high in general so I figured they might be special and Ryan just announced that his new Albino has tested the highest yet + very high yields. I'm pretty sure I have a shit load of it so I'm stoked, was given a few testers including that one.

Once the people testing my stuff lmk I will post it or something. I do know that Jordant Jacobs charges about $120 to test them w/hplc

Your best bet is to just order right from Terrestrial Fungi. Get a 3 pack. Definitely at the moment the SV's are in a lot of the pairings as I've noticed from my own stuff and other growers. I get his commercial strains which are really good

The cordyceps are the SVP #13 from Ryan Paul Gates. It's wicked quick to grow. I think Khan had them in like under 40 days. I don't sell cultures at all but I could probably send you something. Potency I don't know anything really. I'm awaiting results from a few strains ATM though

GregorOk thanks. Good to know.

For sure. Finding some sweet spots. Have you personally seen anything as far as commercial strains being better or worse in general as far as the quality for tinctures. I don't yet have money or a reason to be testing my stuff although some is being tested ATM by other people it's going to take me wicked long to figure, if anything, an Albino Cordycep is possibly stronger than say the Mound 4. I wonder how far across the board it is as is between strains and like even still they are subject to the environment.

These are pretty old. A 250ml LC jar was inoculated with a couple milliliters of Master syringe. 2 days to settle into the jar and then kept at about 40°. I've noticed only that their height is about 50% of the first time I used them. I assume that this is possibly the strain getting tired but I don't know enough to say that yet. All the same the equally old Mound 4 did just about the same as it did. I'm starting to see the same strains performing different in different grow-vessels and I'm starting to see Variegated Cordys do some very cool stuff after a year. My point is only that I'm starting to log this stuff down to weighing everything down to the cake itself after harvest to see if I can repeat what's already happened as well as possibly figure out if I can rely on my own notes to know which can take storage, best vessel and what yields the best. I hope to make my own "expiration dates" from this and just know what is worth the fridge space and how far I can take various strains. Also switching to oats has been pretty good.
