Yeah, pick them, you need more air in that tub. Drill some 1" or 2" hole and stuff them lightly with poly-fil. Or drill a bunch of holes as specified in the SGFC shot gun fruiting chamber or some such contraption.
That fungus needs some air. Everything else is good. it is just having trouble breathing.
Listen to the people who posted above. They know what they are talking about.

ok thanks. i just started fanning yesterday so hopefully the situation will improve. i will build a SGFC for my next grow.
once i pick the mushrooms, how long will they last without being dried? 1,2 days? and .... is 2 shrooms enough to have a good time? i wanna try them out tomorrow night, but if 2 is below threshold dose, i don't wanna waste 'em.

i went to do a last fanning before bed and the sideways growing shroom had grown noticeably since i posted the first pic a few hours ago! i decided to harvest right away and not wait until morning. i put them in a ziploc baggie in the veggie crisper - one place i know my roommate won't find em. not that i'm worried if he does.
gents, here is the "fruit" of my labors:


that first one is really fucked up looking, but i don't care. i feel like a mother holding her retarded baby but loving it anyway.
i don't have my drying gear set up because i wasn't prepared for how fast they would grow once they started fruiting. i thought it would take weeks. but also because this last week has been crazy for me, no free time at all. hopefully they will keep just fine for a little while in the fridge.
this is my first harvest of my first grow, which means that i have officially and successfully grown magic mushrooms! damn i'm proud! thanks everyone at the shroomery for the amazing storehouse of information and helpful responses!
(of course, the final and true test of success is yet to come.)

LordHufungus said: ooohhh kay. i am using the poor mans pod which says, "the fresh air being pumped into your fruiting chamber lifts the C02 out of your fruiting chamber so there is no need for fanning or misting." the pump setup is exactly as described there.
it's doing a great job of humidifying, which is done by the pump forcing fresh air through the water in the bottom of the tub, so it should be getting enough fresh air.

Just because it is a Tek, doesn't mean it will get you the best results. Besides I hear that C02 is like water now days lol.
If your wondering why you have fuzz, it is because your tek is not working. The C02 lifting up thing is crap, you have stale air in that there tub.

Actually, it's not total crap...
Co2 does not sink, it mixes with the air and rides the heat and humidity currents out of the top of the chamber.
The fresh air being pumped in thru the bottom should only help this, if you think about it.
It's just that setup is not as good as a SGFC...A SGFC gets way more constant FAE...
