first growkit - don't know what's happening

Hey there!
I'm a total beginner on mushroom cultivation, I tried to search on internet but i can't resolve all my questions. Like a friend of mine, I'm cultivating Psilocybe Cubensis - mexicans, but I don't know what to say about the result.
It's already been a week since first watering and there are just a few and they are really small. They constantly develop but i don't know if they are okay.. the white mycellium (i guess) is lifting from the base. they don't grow regularly but in different places and their shape worries me a little.



These are some pictures of my grow kit... please tell me if it's healthy or contaminated or whatever you can say to help me...
Thanks a lot!

Those are called pins. Thats what the fruit body looks like before the mushrooms fully mature. Unless you have a good casing layer, your pins will pop up at random areas on your substrate rather than uniformly and evenly across the substrate.
Use the search function and look through some grow logs and teks. You'll find that what you have there is fine. It could be better...but obviously you'll get what you're after...
You may also find that grow kits are a waste of money (IMO).
Good luck!

the kit seems to have major bacterial issues on the bottom. it doesnt mean the end of the grow but I wouldn't buy any more of those kits!
follow the videos jacobstorm linked, its a great place to start. the 3rd video shows you how to build a proper fruiting chamber, that bag is not getting enough air. you should at least open the top of it, and even poke holes in the bag so the mushrooms can breathe.

Thanks a lot!
Should I remove the contaminated base before next watering?

Welcome to the Shroomery! Not sure what you mean by watering, I have never used a kit before. If you have some success with this grow and want to do more, everyone will suggest DIY. Most kits are poorly designed and come with out dated information. Plus DIY is much more rewarding, Watch the videos mentioned above and good luck!
