so the ones that open their caps right away and then continue to grow are just weird genetics? still potent and normal to eat? had the exact same thing happen with a cake this week, they kept growing and one ended up being monstrous, have them drying now

This entire post is a trove of bad information. Aero are you saying that his mutated mushrooms on the cake that look similar to PE are that way because the cake is contaminated? I really don't see any contamination in any of those pictures. It looks to me like a normal week 1st flush due probably because the genetics are wore out and there is very little RH. IF you linked some pictures of your grow chamber and set up we might be able to help you with small adjustments if needed.
Just make sure you have as much Humidity as possible in your grow chamber, also allowing evaporation because of fluctuations in air flow and temperature.

Just make sure you are getting proper FAE and you will have good RH and evaporation.
People should focus more on FAE, and less on humidity.....

 this is what those retard pins are like today, so back to the original question, when should I pick them, due to the open caps, should I just pick and redunk and roll, I don't want them to spore will they spore? so much off topic bullshit
above post, I just got a thermometer/hygrometer yesterday, rh is 99% temp is 72-75

Hey Ghostshadow you need to edit some of your posts and take out the vendor that you got your spores from since they are sold for viewing under a microscope only. I'm highly surprised that no one has said anything about it by now anyways keep up the good work and post more pictures of your next flushes.

They won't grow any more. Crap genetics.
they are still growing, wtf do I do with the cakes, and the cake you said was contam is now overtaking the verm from dunk and roll the other day too

I am pretty sure I did not give out any bad info in this thread just pretty solid info from my own experience and what I have learned from more experienced growers on the site... 
That myc DOES look weird but if it does not smell weird then just see what happens I guess...I'm surprised those minis grew bigger - funny thing is that NOW they look like aborts (very dark caps). All aborts I have ever experienced have been tiny with unopen caps and any shrrom I ever had with an open cap did not grow any more.
Therefore.... I no longer feel like I know what I am talking about with yr cakes so all I can say is...... good luck!

mine look/looked very much like this. just harvested first flush from one cake... just watch the caps. even though there was no veil on mine, once the edges of the cap had turned up enough it dropped a bunch of spores just like a normal mushroom...
still very interested as to what causes this. I have two more cakes that are growing mushrooms in a similar way, and they haven't stopped growing... getting quite large actually...

I picked them today and going to redunk them tonight, hoping second flush goes a little better, the other fresh cakes I added are doing nicely, looks like already overtaking the rolling verm layer, so hopefully they pin soon

 so I have already harvested a first flush and having some cobweb mold problems I think, anyone have any ideas of whether this is cobweb? or is it just fuzzy myc? it's underneath the cakes and I've killed it with some h202 a few times but just keeps coming back. is it possible to just set the cakes on the sides so the bottoms get fresh air? will that work?
