Could someone explain me what is happening with their skin?My P.Cubensis Golden Teacher are now in week 1. It looks lik if the skin was being ripped off and being pulled down. I thought maybe that was a bad signal.


Sorry for the bad quality pics, my camera goes crazy sometimes. Can you seewhat I mean? Right under the brown head you can see how the skin is "breaking".
Please help, I couldn't find anything related to this.

Well I am not very experienced but I would say that is pretty normal. There is a thread here where people are posting their cultivation pictures. Look at some of these pictures that is probably going to calm you down. It is probably nothing to worry about.

It's just the veil. Eventually it will break, and the cap will spread. This is normal.

Hold on. So u mean to tell me, that u got to this point in growing and had no idea there was a veil that connects the cap and stem????? Idk how u managed that lol every pic of mature shrooms u can see a veil.
But anyway, nice looking fruits. I grow gts too and those are nice looking ones. When u see that thick of a veil, its gonna be a beefy ass shroom. I just picked one that had a veil like that, 24 gs wet almost an 8th in 1 shroom

The veil is the thin membrane that connects the cap and stem. The breaking of the veil coincides with maturity and sporulation. I'm curious myself how you managed to grow some pretty good looking shrooms without even knowing what a veil is haha. No offense but if you google mushrooms the Wikipedia article would explain what a veil is and it's function, it's very basic and homogenous to all(most?) mushrooms.

I wasn't sure if that was already a maturity sign. I mean the cap hasn't even opened yet. No spores can get out of it as it isn't open. The tallest shrooms is maybe 7cm.
But there is a HUGE problem I think. There are two very tiny shrooms (0.5cm tall) that also ripped the veils. So I am not sure if that is just let's call it a "pre-veil rip off" or if there is any problem with my grow kit.
Damn, I feel so bad. Only a fourth of the grow kit is full with shrooms. This is so weird.

But why do they break now? I mean some shrooms are 0.5cm tall and already broke their veil... but the cap doesn't open, so... if it is no maturity sign, what is it?

If they broke at 0.5cm tall then they will probably mature to be not much bigger than that. The veil breaking is the first sign the mushroom is almost done growing and is about to open the cap and focus on spore production.
So yeah, small mushrooms are a real thing
