I am warming them a lot, but now there is some water in the bag -> too much heat? would like u to tell me how my mushrooms are looking, how long until I will have to harvest?
I hope you can help me I would be very thankful! (sorry for those big pics)

Read the first link in my signature. Basically Grow kits are more of a rip off than the shit grandparents buy off of as seen on TV ads. Don't heat up your bags room temperature is fine above 75F and they don't go faster above 83F and they stall out and slow down. 65-75F is perfect.
Those mushrooms are starving for air.

also learn about picture uploads. You can do it right to the shroomery and avoid having threads that get all mangled with huge images.

they look like they're trying to kill themselves to get out of that bag. Cut some slits on each side and give it some misting. Then go make yourself a SGFC.

Hey guys,
so far I want to thank you for your help. I started to get the stuff for a SGFC. So I think my next try will be less like a total noob try like this time.
Now, I got some mushrooms out of the box. The veil opened. Are those any good? I would dry them now. Anything I should be aware of now? What about the short ones? Are they any good. I thought they would not grow any better the longer I would wait.
THANKS again for your help!

yes all good!
u will be in no time. i actually like them when they are really small (like the smaller ones in ur pic). i have picked them that small before from a dying bulk attempt (humidity way too low, whole bucket dried out during fruiting) and found they were uber potent. was not an isolate, so no conclusive evidence, but after many a time, picking small fruits (not even close to veil tearing small, like 3.5-4") and eating them/friends eating them, i honestly think they r more potent.

eat whole thing! after its cracker dry, just rub off the verm/substrate stuff on bottom with ur hands. if its cracker dry, it will easily rub off with just ur fingers. even if it doesn't completely come off no worries, i have eaten plenty of verm, coir, peat, etc, with no problem. if u eat a bunch of coir and then fresh mushroom, u can make a monotub out of ur stomach lining. I'm working on a tek for it now

What do you think?
 Those are 8 grams.
they are dried and should be ready to eat - right? First time I would start with around 1.5-2 grams

if u have already taken shrooms before and just wanna do an experiment, weigh those 5-6 little ones, and then separately weigh those 2 big ones, compare the weights and separate them. see if u think the smaller ones are more potent (even if they weigh less) than the big ones. if u only aiming for a 2g trip, that would b an interesting way to get 2 trip twice and see the difference.
another experiment: eat them all and compare that to being sober
