Safe to eat? (pics)

Hey guys, I've been trying to get these PEs to fruit for the past month and a half and this is all I've got. They've finally grown some within this past week and seems they've stalled. I know it's pretty much all my fault. It was pretty much all due to the last place I was living. Place was too hot and I just couldn't keep the cakes from drying out. Since I've been in my new place I've kept them at a good temp, but I think they are pretty much beyond hope after a month in all that heat.
Anyway here is what I have so far and they don't seemed to have grown anymore in the past couple days.

I'm not really hoping to salvage much from this attempt. Too many things went wrong this time. I'm just wondering if these are even edible lol.

PE is notorious for doing really shitty on BRF cakes.
Combine that with the fact that the wrong sized jars were used, and you get very few blobs that are only forming on the bottom of the cake.
Yes....they should be just fine to eat.

Yeah, my next attempt I'm going to be casing. Think I should try to get some more out of these or just harvest them now?

Please do not refer to spawning a bulk substrate as a casing. Coir/verm is bulk substrate material.
They used to refer to a bulk substrate as a casing, but now it just adds confusion. Its called a spawning to a bulk substrate, not casing.
A casing layer is a non nutritious top layer usually applied to a fully colonized bulk substrate for moisture retention and pinning. When you do this it is called casing, see where it can get confusing?
P.Cubensis do not really benefit from a casing layer.(with the exception of PE)

RogerRabbit said: You guys seriously need to stop referring to your substrate trays as 'casings'. That is an incorrect term unless all you have is a casing layer and no manure, grains, or anything. Nobody grows mushrooms on 'casings', period.
The casing layer is only the top layer on a colonized bulk substrate, nothing else. 'Casing' sure as hell isn't a name for a mushroom growing project. RR

Pick those fruits, dunk the cakes and hope for a better second flush. Temper your expectations though: PE and cakes do not love each other.
