Cap won't open, stem is kinda getting bigger

Hey fellow Shroomers, I know, I know I bought a grow-kit, what did I expect. Still though, nothing I can change now, so please help me solve this riddle. About 10 days ago I've set up a McKennai grow-kit (Okay, one other thing I learned, McKennai is not a thing...looks kinda albino) Anyhow everything looked fine until I found the transition from veil to cap turning dark green-bluish, looks almost like internal psilocibin oxidation haha ^^ Another thing is that the stem isn't stopping to grow, just the cap seems to have something against opening up to release the spores. Well, hope u guys can help me and sry for any mistakes I've might made...it's early in the morning...too early

kit, small caps wont open, stems keep growing long.
solution; build a proper fruting chamber (sgfc works well for this) or cut/melt a bunch of small holes in the choke bag they call "fruiting chamber" and open the top.

Thanks guys , that's what I thought, so I improved the whole venting and humidity situation and they started to grow like crazy. Gonna post some pics later on, don't worry...they still look kinda like vodoo dolls though

So back again  I harvested, but those bluish spots make me a bit skeptical. Are those (purely theoretical of course ^^) consumeable without any worries? I just hope those spots come from the dry period they had to experience :S

Pretty typical of AA+ which is the variety they sent you. They're fine. You got super lucky most kits never turn out half as well

Even consuming these is a theory for you? What else would you do with them?
