Can someone please clarify some things for me?

Are jawbreaker and tie die mushrooms 2 different shrooms?

Is it true that only the tie die has the purple?

What shrooms are these below?

This is better...

So the babies have theses colors from the start? And the jawbreaker develops its colors over time?

Answers seem to be all over the place in multiple different threads

Tye dye magic mushroom aka gameover mushrooms originate from ultimate frags out in cali as for the jawbreaker im not sure where they originate from the difference from the 2 I believe is purple the tyedye gets purple in it and the jawbreaker dosent but I could be wrong. I have a tyedye lineage to kes on rc when I got mines it was mostly orange witb very little red and finally after almost 2yrs I have now started gettin in green and has also popped out 4 babies

I clarified that the Jawbreaker (original name) and the Mystery TieDye (new name when it changed ownership) in another thread. So, it all depends on what lineage that you buy as the original mother imported in USA was named Jawbreaker. When it dropped the first baby, my son-in-law's brothers and I picked up from the first owner, who was a good friend of mine. The mother was then sold to Rommel at UltimateFrags and then resold to TheDigitalFishroom and renamed Mystery TieDye mushroom. There are other Jawbreakers in the CA Bay Area that is not of this lineage and they are smaller (gets to only about 2"-3") and only red comes in later, no green or purple. As for purple, most TieDye owners never develops that color. Not sure if it takes more than 10 years to develop or only some polyps get that color. So, whether the Jawbreaker and TieDye is one and the same, it depends on the lineage that you purchase.

As for the new photos of a mushroom also called Jawbreakers with all brilliant colors, everyone probably already knows now that they are from Vietnam and they are different from the original Jawbreaker/Mystery TieDye lineage. They are smooth without texture. Great looking mushroom though. Would assume they are fast growing because of multiple polyps on the rock. What makes the original Jawbreaker/Mystery TieDye rare is that it's an extremely slow grower and earlier generations only drop one baby per year. Just buy from a reliable source that leads back to the original Mother (now with Digital Fishroom) and you'll have the right one, no matter what it is called.

Semi-opening this thread again. I got ahold of a local vendor that has a jawbreaker baby for $150 and I jumped on it.

Talking about shrooms. Are these just plain old orange shrooms? The first one was smooth when I got them about 4 months ago.
The tiny single "booger" I got off ebay. It was a speck when it arrived. Now it's about the size of a pencil eraser and is orange with a red rim.
