Good day ,
I ordered chocolate oyster mushrooms from spore101 and shipped to Saudi Arabia
This is my first attempt to growing mushrooms. I made substrate of flax seed and rice, sterilized it at 121 degrees Celsius in an laboratory autoclave at 3 bar. ( the autoclave is brand new, Cooled and then inoculated with syringe in a glass clean box with flame, iso propanol, gloves etc.
3 weeks and substrate fully colonized, completely white, cake was dunked for 8 hours in mineral water. then put in a fruiting chamber with Agro lite.
Fruiting chamber is 25 degrees Celsius and 98 % humidity, The mushroom stems , some of them at the end look to be forming a cap other within the cap their is another mushroom or something else sprouting out and others the cap has like 8 or so little sprouts coming from it this looks strange.
Is this normal , All the pictures and videos and tutorials i watched and read so a normal mushroom form growing
Is it supposed to look like this, what did i do incorrectly ?

Sounds like you did everything right.
The simple answer: sometimes mushrooms do strange things.

you should have posted it in the gourmet forum... else you get reply´s that you did everything right, wich were true if you were growing cubes...
they are formed that way because of lack of fresh air, oysters need a lot more oxygen than cubes. , better to not put them in a fruiting chamber at all than in one without massive FAE.
next to that, i think i read somehwere on this forum that flax contains a lot of natural fungicides, so mushroom mycelium doesn´t grow well on it, but apparently yours did.
good luck next time!

sorry, i misread, i thought you used flax straw, not seed. maybe (probably) the seeds don;t contain the fungicides, just the flax straw.
but did you make your substrate only from flax seed and rice (as in the ones you would eat)?
because that is also more like a technike for cubes, growing straight from grains. with oysters you want to have a larger substrate (meaning more water), but from carbon source like wheat straw. you can spawn the flax straw/rice to pasteurised wheat straw and get way more mushrooms than when growing straight from grains/seeds.
