Should I harvest these shrooms and are they ok??

Hey guys, I'm not quite sure whether these shrooms are ready to harvest and also whether they're OK... some of them still have white stuff (which i assume is mycelium) on them and one or two of the larger ones look ready to split; I attached a few photos. There's also a large white bulge which is not too easy to see on the photos, about the size of a large coin. Do you think they're good to harvest? some of them look ready to split and one seems to have curled up or something, I took a pic of that as well. It's my first time growing; I'm using an 'ecuadorian' shroom growkit (Cubensis). Thanks very much!

Looking at your pictures, I can't see any that are absolutely ready to go...while I haven't played with Eq specifically, IME the cap tends to get bigger before I pick them; your looking for a universal veil thats just starting to burst, and I can't see any that have formed yet. It will only really hurt yield to pick early, but I would give it a few more days.
If the fruits have mycelium, it tends to be an indication of a need for more FAE....a symptom usually coupled with elongated stems, which you also seem to be suffering. I haven't worked with fruiting in bag like that, but try giving it a little more TLC with a fan/spray bottle
Congrats on your grow!

I assume by tlc you mean 'tender loving care'? there's a lot of moisture in the bag, i don't know whether that could have any negative effects... thanks for your help!

If moisture seems good I'd go with more FAE (fresh air exchange) Open up the bag and fan them a few times a day at least.
