Is this a Jawbreaker??

Mstansbery · Dec 25, 2012

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...

I'd say no. More like one of those iron man shrooms cherry has been selling.

No, not in my opinion

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.

Iron man shroom for sure

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

lol Couple big hitters agree. I hope nobody gets suckered into buying this!! Caveat Emptor!!

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.

I don't think it's one. Mine have never looked like that. Here is a link to my for sale thread. There are pictures of the babies and farther down in the thread is the mother.

Mr ... what ...

I have read so many sad comments about him that I wonder why he is still around .. on another forum I am on plenty of complaints from what I remember

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!!

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.
