First time grower with a few questions for you seasoned folks

Hi, first time grower here who has learned quite a bit from these forums, but I have a few more questions that I can't seem to find answers to. I'll start from the beginning.
I ordered prepacked substrate jars from as well as a basic mushroom grow kit. The spores I used to inoculate the jars were (or at least i thought they were, this is one of my questions) AA spores from . After the colonization, which went swimmingly, I placed three cakes into the grow box along with perlite, threw the lights that came with it on them, and let nature take its course. I was amazed to see that after only 3 days there were already decent sized mushrooms sprouting, and now, just a week later, they look as if they are nearing the end of their growing stage, yet everything I have read about growing these little beauties indicates that they should be taking much longer to grow. This couldn't be a bad thing, correct?
Finally, and I mentioned this earlier, I am not sure that the mushrooms that are currently growing are indeed

A few days from full colonization/consolidation period to pinning is normal, a week from pin to mature fruit is normal.
Where did you read it wasn't?

You should have harvested those LONG before that, I'll tell you that much. I agree those things are going to taste pretty horrible.
