THAILAND

This spore race was sent to PF on a trade and the sender said it was MYCO TECH (Seattle) THAILAND.

THAILAND RACE DESCRIPTIONS

1. CAP (size - shape stages - colors)
It goes to plane on maturity and doesn't seem to want to upturn. It is lighter than a lot of cubies.

2. STEM (length - girth - flesh - colors)
Slender white and fibrous. Medium length at most.

3. VEIL (deliquescent - partly deliquescent - persistant anulus) Veil is deliquescent

4. SPORULATION (at what developement stage does it begin?)
The Thai is kind of like the Treasure Coast. It is a slow maturer and a weak sporulator.

5. TENACIOUSNES (Strength of attachment of the stem base to the cake)
Moderate with good stability PF style.

6. SHAPE SHIFTING (shapes and changes of flush to flush - strain to strain)
Appears stable.

7. SIZE TENDANCIES (overall size of the mushroom at maturity)
Tiny to moderate.

8. GESTATION PERIOD (generalized time of primordia appearance after inoculation)
Average - like the HA.

9. POTENCY (This simply comes down to how fast the shroom loses its latent potency - relating to the advent of sporulation)
Due to its late maturing, the envelope is wide to get quality potency before maturing.

10. FLUSHING (Ability to repeat flush)
unknown but probably as good as any.
