I'm back guys, I'll be posting my pictures tomorrow, one question though? I'll definately be posting a picture of this as soon as I can but, one of the oldest mushrooms that spawned (About 3 days old) has a cap around 2 inches, and the stem is roughly.. an inch, maybe inch and a half long. Anyway, it looks black? It's in the corner of my terrarium, the stem is mainly white with a little black on it, and there's also another mushroom growing an inch away from it, who's stem is white, but also has a brownish/black color on it..? What do you guys suspect this is from the description? I'll deff be posting pics tomorrow. I'm just scared.. Any ideas?

genetics. does the black rub off? if the cap is open it could even be spores.

Yeah the caps open, I'm not sure if it rubs off? Is it okay to touch? It's my first grow so.. Idk? Lol. If you say it's okay to touch I'll see if I can rub some off.

It'll be fine to touch. You do want to avoid over-handling your mushies but a gentle swipe isn't going to do any damage.

sounds like an abort if the cap is black but if its on the stem its most likely spores. if its an abort pick it b4 it starts to rot and dry it like normal, they are good eats. if its spores pick it also that means the fruit is done growing its sporulating and will start to breakdown in a few days. touching your shrooms (unless your harvesting)is just going to result in you bruising your mushies or contaming your grow if your hands arent clean. just be xtra clean if your reach into or lean over your grow.

Picks taken from my phone, kinda blurry, will upload more tomorrow off the camera.
PS: 4th pic down is my baby, he's about 4 inches tall right now. The veil didn't slip off yet, so I'm just going to watch him and pluck when ready. =)

Spores. They may be rinsed off with water.
Could be some dark bruising too, but I suspect spores as the main cause

Another question, my cakes are relatively close together(As you can see in the pictures).. Will that affect the growth of my mushrooms or the yield? What do you guys think?

I've started to harvest the mushrooms that look sufficient nd have opened up and the veils have dropped. I'm not sure how to store them for later though when I buy the supplies to dry them? Right now I have them in a plastic quart container.. Help?

just lay them on some paper towels or news paper and blow a fan on em. they will dry nicely. it takes a day or so to get craker dry. that and dehydrators are best in my exp.
dont put them in a container wet they will rot!

Hey guysss, I'm backk =( I really wish I wasn't though. So I came home today after a pretty good night of sitting my two friends who wanted to be the test subjects of my PR's. Both took exactly 1.5g's and were set for about 6 hours. Perfect trips, so they said. Anyway. I slept at his house, and came home today to my lovely terrarium! Or so I thought.. I opened the top, to see my terrarium fully fruited, could barely see the bottom on the left side of it where the Z-strain resided. Anyway. I started to harvest some of my PR cakes, when.. AHHH! GREEN MOLD WTF?!! I harvested the cake to the best of my ability, throwing out any mushroom that had even a slight green tinge on it. But kept all the healthy ones. I had to toss 2 cakes due to this green mold, it was the saddest moment of my day ='( Anyway, I did check all the mushrooms I got from both cakes, and the seemed to be fine, no contams on the mushrooms.. Now my question is, are they okay to eat? Will they be fine, no crazy side effects? Thanks so much guys for your help!
