We are about to sequence the genomes of 6 haploid cultures collected from a population of Psilocybe subaeruginosa in Queensland. It will be nice to have some data in hand and we can compare our genomes to those available for P. cyanescens to test whether these taxa are con-specific (the same species).
The haploid cultures have some interesting phenotypes (fast smooth growth, slow and patchy growth, fast radial growth). Knowledge of these phenotypes may one day help with crossing different haploid cultures to tailor genetics. Expect an update when we get sequence data back from AGRF :) Looking forward to the rains to expand sampling of P. cubensis in the next few months.
