Feedback for First Time Grow

Hi all,
I recently finished my first grow using the PF Tek method. I had made 4 jars from the start, but ended up tossing one out as it appeared contaminated. I was able to get some from the other 3 cakes and picked and dried those.
Since this was my first grow, I made mistakes along the way but nothing seemed really problematic. The pictures are some of the mushrooms from my first grow and I wanted to get some feedback on how they look. I'm still learning about identifying different contaminants, so I figured it would be best to ask before consuming anything. The spore syringe were Cubensis B+

Congratulations on your first harvest.
I've never seen shroomies like that. How did you dry them?

I used a cheap food dehydrator and let them dry in it overnight. To be honest, I probably let them fruit a few days too long. My thought was to let them get bigger in size (after the veil breaks), and then later found a lot of people saying to pick them when the veil breaks. Right now I'm attempting a second flush, and if that works then I'll know to pick them earlier.

Congrats on getting shrooms. They do look a bit funky but like u said that coukd just be from letting them grow to long. Any time i have eaten shrooms with dark caps like that i get a gnarly gut load. I dont know why or if its placebo just because they look off. Either way id eat them and have a nice trip.
Im doing my first grow and have 3 6qt tubs in a mini greenhouse. Been in there for 7 days with no pins but its PE so i hope to have some within the week.

I would do the best you can to make sure dehydrating temps don't go over 165 degrees. I did that, the results were pretty un-potent shriomies. But that also could be due too weak Spores... Just FYI is all.
Yeah always harvest after the veil tears.

I don't think dehydrators go over 165 but it's been said many times that potency isn't affected until well over 300 degrees. Congratz on your first grow!!!

I've seen mixed information about what temperature is too high for mushrooms, but ~300 seems to be the most common answer. This dehydrator doesn't have a temperature setting, but it feels its well below 160 f. I'm guessing its around 120 f.
Glad to get some positive feedback! I think I might try using them for micro dosing for a while, or making a small amount into a tea.
