Contamination? Small black caps, large stems.

These mushrooms look pretty weird. I thought they might have started to rot, but they smell like normal mushrooms though. Are they just really weird aborts? Safe to eat?

Here is one after drying for about a day.

Everything in the first pic is fine.

Black caps means they aborted. There are many causes of this, few of which are contamination. It's normally over-misting or lack of moisture in the substrate (sometimes the bigger mushrooms hog all the water and the younger pins will abort)

They are still edible, and nothing to be concerned over.

Awesome. Thanks for your timely post. Any idea why the mushrooms on this cake would never reach maturity, but other cakes in the same terrarium produced many full sized mushrooms?

The mushrooms you just posted pictures of are penis envy strain, possible albino penis envy. They have very different characteristics as juxtaposed with a normal cubensis strain. They appear normal, FOR penis envy strain. A normal variation such as B+, golden teacher, amazonian, etc will look very different.

Penis envy caps do not always fully open.
