Sunny Side Up Spore Information:

Sunny Side Up mushroom genetics are a newer and more rare Cubensis variety to find. The name Sunny Side Up is referring the look of the fruiting body. Uniquely, this variety is known for its cap that is shaped just like a sunny side up egg! The caps are also wavy and tight around the stem. On the other hand, the stem is thick, pale, and a little on the shorter side. 

Another trait that makes this variety interesting to study is the fact that its an albino! But what constitutes a true albino mushroom? Well, Albinism is a genetic mutation that can specifically affect the genes responsible for producing pigments. This means that affected individuals lack all color pigmentation. Most animal species (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, etc), as well as mushrooms can be affected by it. In most albino animals, the pigment that’s lacking is melanin. While mushrooms do contain melanin, they also contain a multitude of other pigments (many of which are used to make medicines) that are also affected by the Albino mutation.

Microscopic Features

It’s important to note that because they’re an albino variety, Sunny Side Up will have transparent spores. When spores are clear they can bruise blue leading the swab to appear blue rather than clear. Once you put them under the microscope, they will be clear. The spores are typically subellipsoid (ellipse) shaped and they are present on a 4-spored basidia. They are approximately 13×8 micrometers in size.
