Whats wrong with my grow?

Hey everyone,
I just harvested my first grow of "Mazatapec" mushrooms but they look kinda weird and deformed. I looked at some pictures I found on google and they look nothing like them. Are the black spots mold?

OK thanks. But are they consumable? And what is this black color on some of them? Is it mold or does it just come from the psilocybin?

The black is heavy bruising. It's probably where you were squeezing when you were twisting them off. Just so you know it's perfectly fine to cut them off with a knife and usually easier.
You shouldn't pick those little immature pins unless they've aborted. They can continue grow either in the current flush or the next.

I just harvested the second flush. Here's a picture of some of the mushrooms:

What do you guys think? Looks Ok i guess? Maybe a few hours to late, because of the black color under the hats. These are just the polls right? I just got arround 50 grams of this harvest. Is this amount ok or too little?

The black under the cap are spores. Not sure what you mean with " these are just the polls right?" tho. No one will be able to say if the amount is too little or not. Every grow varies from person to person, which method you used to fruit em, what the variables were such as humidity/fae and so on. You got mushrooms in the end so that's a success by itself.
Dry them out properly for storage or eat em fresh. Remember shrooms are 90% water by volume so when properly dried you will have about 5 grams dry give or take a lil.

this. I am not terribly experienced, most of the way through my first grow as well, and having a hell of a time growing huge mutants with no veils on all 5 cakes hahaha. anyways, from what I've learned, your first flush looks a little rough, but if you did anything differently with the second flush, keep doing it because the second flush looks quite proper. did one cake give you 50g wet? if so, you're doing better than me... I'm getting pretty consistently 35-40g fresh per cake per flush

Yeah I meant spores, sorry. English is not my native language I just wondered about the 50 grams, because I read of 100-200 grams and more where I bought the growbox. But 50 are ok for me I think.

I did a view things differently. First I bought a power LED panel with around 960 lumen and 6000K color temperature so the mushrooms get more light than in my dark house. I also started to exchange the air around 3-4 times a day. And of course the humidity was a lot lower this time I also have a heating mat which stays constantly at 23 degress celcius the whole time, but this one I had in the first flush too. Yeah this second flush gave me around 50g. The first one was around 30-40g, I don't remember

I just discovered some white hairy stuff on the mushrooms. Is this the mycel or some kind of mold? Oo

I don't know if you can see it, but this white stuff on the stem of some mushrooms is new. I didn't saw it after the harvest.

 It means that if you used the site's search function, it would have taken 10 seconds to find out that FAE=Fresh Air Exchange.

Ok thanks. I thought it was some kind of english slang  I did open the bag 3-4 times per day and waved fresh air in it. Isn't that enough?
