Can anyone tell me what is wrong with these guys?

So I've already harvested half of my cakes this week, the other half are still pinning as I just took them out of my little dunk tank on Monday. However there is one cake that has some odd looking mushies on it that I'm not entirely sure if I should pick them now and dry them, or if I should let them be for a couple of days? Hoping someone can tell me if these are looking ok, or if they are aborts, or something Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Just genetics that produced some fatties. Let them go until just before the veil tears which looks like it'll be another day or two for the more mature ones.

Fantastic - much appreciated! None of the others looked remotely like that, so I thought it would be best to ask . Thanks again!

And rather than start a new thread I thought I would ask here since I can't seem to find a definitive answer when searching: is it possible to over dry mushrooms in a dehydrator? I have 4 full racks going right now and it's been a little less than a day and a half now - some of them are cracker dry and some still have a bit of flexibility. I've got my dehydrator dialed down to the lowest (95F), but was worried about damaging the ones that are dry while waiting on the rest of the trays to finish. Any thoughts/recommendations?

I can't see what's weird looking about those shrooms? And no you won't do any damage drying at that temperature after they are cracker...

They are just a lot shorter and fatter/thicker than the rest on the dozen cakes I've harvested so far.

It's just genetics. Nothing to worry about. Clone one if you like how they look.
Over-drying them isn't a problem, but running your dehydrator that low, leaving them with moisture for a day and a half is. Turn your dehydrator all the way up. It shouldn't take more than 12 hours to dry them.

Well without igniting a firestorm of debate (and this is my first grow so my experience is lacking), at what temp will the heat damage the potency?
I thought about cranking it up a bit last night, but it seems this is the debate of the century, and my lack of experience has left me cautious

I wanna say the BP of psilocin is about 300F. Your dehydrator won't get near hot enough to hurt it.

It's not really a debate anymore. You won't find anyone who knows what they're doing to tell you not to crank your dehydrator.

36 is right. People fry them with no noticeable loss in potency and that's much more heat than your dehydrator will produce. I always turn mine all the way up and they're cracker dry in no time.
