Hello everybody!

Another member here is selling a Jawbreaker for a decent price. However with the picture provided I am not at all convinced its actually a JB or even a Tie Dye...Anyone want to chime in?? IME (I have a small collection of JB's) They are much more granulated in terms of texture, and at the size it is being marketed at (nickel size when inflated) it should definitely be exhibiting some red. Unfortunately he cannot confirm lineage...

That looks just like the "jawbreaker" mushroom that Mr.Coral posted, which he was selling as a jawbreaker as well. I think we all know that Mr. Coral doesn't sell jawbreakers.

I believe that one is a completely different species than the Jawbreaker.

Does not look like one to me either although the edges show some red but I do not see the typical red pattern or even purple in some rarer cases.

Thanks guys! Yeh I was pretty sure the second I saw the pic. MrCoral does get some bashing (from myself included) but his offerings have definitely improved over the last year. I plan on doing an order with Sonny next week in fact. Gotta have one of those Freddy Krueger palys!!

Good luck... IMO money best spent elsewhere. I wouldn't do it.

It was me selling them. I clearly got ripped off since they were sold to me as jawbreakers. I am taking them down now until I figure out what they are. Wasn't trying to rip anyone and thanks for making this thread.
