What kind of mushrooms are you growing? What kind of sub did you use? Incubating temps?

Dear Paducahovoids,
yup it looks like puffballs in white and orange colours..
Is this the exact disease and is there any action to cure or prevent.
One more thing i observed is that it grows only on the straw doesnt disturb mycilin..

Those really do look like the beginning of fruits of some kind.
I noticed that my young Lion's Mane were pinkish...
...I'd like to venture that these just might be the beginnings of the mushroom you are hoping to see?
Have you grown these before?
In any case, good luck, and thank you for sharing!

If the inside is solid and like a puffball, then it probably is a puffball and contaminated your substrate. I looked through my american identification books and saw nothing remotely close. It must be an "abort" or blob of the mush you are trying to grow. I'm just guessing
