Granny M asked me to post this question about her thailand strain birdseed casings, but i am not sure whether it should go here or the general cultivation forum. So, apologies in advance.
She is such a nice lady, but hard as she tries, she does not seem to be making the best mycologist one would hope-- her casings seemed to be progressing nicely and a few regular looking pins have formed, but overall, the thing looks like meaty, shroom-stalk colored bubbles that in the past day, have started growing things that look like caps, only they are mostly at the *bottom* and the white stem grows on top (Actually, there are a couple of norrmal pins, some instances of this inversion, and the rest is kinda like an undifferentiated mass of fleshy cream and brown bubbles)
- Any idea why? (would, say, something like too much light cause this? she forgot the light on two nights in a row) - Anything that can be done to fix this? - Will she still be able to offer whatever grows at the tea party she will be hosting for the ladies of her sewing circle? - Any suggestions where one can find info on mutations?
Thanks! (originally incorrectly posted in the Contam forum, MAIA suggested it might be a factor of oxygen exchange, although everything else sounded alright, but I wanted to see if there were other, or additional, ideas. - not to question MAIA's expertise)

Gee, I don't know why granny's shroomies are all standing on their heads.
A bunch of them kinda look like melted marshmallows, don't they?

My friend has seen these in the past. He has no idea what causes them but he reports that the fruits are just as tasty and effective as normal ones.

Cool - does your friend report that they grow substantially enough to give you a good crop? Don't care much about "pretty" as long as there's enough for a really good book about a couple people tripping.
