Weird white stuff on top of cap?

When I wipe it off with my finger it looks as if it might be the veil but I'm unsure. I didn't know if it was a sign of bacteria contam... Thanks for all the help!

Looks like a nice mutant. It's a Siamese twin, with 2 stems and one head.

Dont wash shrooms. Wipe the surface of the cap with a hanky or similar. Or just let it be, because this doesn't look harmful.

I would agree if it was just some white coloring in the caps but its not. I can wipe it off and underneath is a perfectly normal brown cap but it has this white veil like looking flesh on top of it...
Note: The cap is slimy and this is a MS PE6 grow...

You should have already picked it anyway unless you are making a print.

"this white veil like looking flesh on top of it"
This is very often the answer. The fruit breaks out of a universal veil that leave bits of flesh attached to the cap.
...I am not sure if your species has a universal veil though...

I once had a isolated strain of GT that ALWAYS had the caps covered in extremely rhizomorphic mycelium. Every single shroom would always have a snow covered cap, it was crazy. Only that one substrain isolate ever did that.

They were under the cake so I turned it on its side, the new ones forming on the bottom look normal. All the weird looking ones have been there almost a week, the normal ones have only come out a few days ago and are already passing up the ones that are deformed.
I think it will be interesting to see what they look like if they mature, the ones on the right look like they might form a whole new mushroom on top of the cap, I hope they do lol.
