Verticillium? Safe to eat? (pics)

I believe I've got some verticillium (Lecanicillium fungicola) getting around, but I'd really appreciate a second opinion. To this point i've had a number of fruits with white growing from the center of the caps. After I became convinced that this was mycelium occurring due to high relative humidity I ceased worrying and resumed harvesting. However wrinky, wavy caps have been on the rise and today was the first time I noticed brown discoloration on some stems. I've read comments from people saying it's ok to consume mushrooms infected with vert, however, I'd like to hear a few more say the same before I poison anybody.

Third pic is rose comb, and all of those mutations are “normal mutations”

Just saw the brow speckles. Had the same issue a while ago and forgot what it’s called. I do remember that I was told it was safe to eat and I did with no problems.

Thanks for the reply! I hope someone else can give me a contaminant name to research if it's not vert, but I still think it might be.

There's no contamination besides a little discoloration from bacteria on the stems they're just mushrooms grown in poor conditions

Is the bacteria on the stems a concern for consumption? and should i be eating these brussel sprouts with black splotches? haha for real though.

No the chances of dying from consumption (tuberculosis) from eating those is 0.000000001%
They're fine if you dry them with a food dehydrator or make them into tea with boiling water
Hows your book sales after that botched presidential run? I assume it was for book sales?

Thanks for the response btw. I would be curious to hear any impressions you have for factors that might be contributing to the shitty conditions. I think I fed my perlite too much water from the get go. I initially ran a "hydroponic humidifer", but have only been using it to push air around and not water vapor for majority of this grow (some cakes have had 2 flushes. other's, birthed more recently, are yet to produce their first pins. I'm working out of a walk in closet that was emptied and bleached in prep. I have some concerns about the air getting stale in their, although i keep the door cracked. this flat is heated by a single radiator. I have some concerns about stale air in the closet. Maybe I've said too much. Come back, baby. tell me what i've done wrong.

new growers like bags and humidity and making some bio dome for shrooms. They love fresh air and some humidity. humidity requires fresh air otherwise fruits get problems like yours "pumpkin" caps and blotches on the stems are signs of too much moisture and not enough air exchange.
