Hello shroomery-fellas,
Some months back i started this lovely Hobby and, until now, i had straight on success.
Grew 2 tubs Ban Hua Thai with WBS spawned into coir/verm at field capacity (Ratio 1:4). It colonized rapidly, introduced fruiting conditions at 100% and had a 20g of dry mushies Out of together 2 half pint jars. Had a little FAE Problem due to improper Fan Setup, so they went a little skinny tho.
Together with those i spawned another tub also coir/verm (2:8 = 1:4) of golden teacher. But this one colonized much slower and was introduced into fruiting conditions at 70% colonization.

What happens now is beyond the reach of my understanding brain:
about a week Back the myc started to Form Pins after it reached 100% colonization without any sign of contam. MANY. it started to Pin MANY pins. Only 9 of em actually growed and showed progress in regular speed. First i thought that would be just Common at 1st flush.
But then the stems started to become wrinkled. Looks like kind of "cancer". Not only one But all:



Also i noticed some strange Kind of Mutation, dunno how to describe but look yourself:

Things started to get suspicious when i noticed some dark discoloring in one Spot of the mycel (dont think its bruising, my Substrate stood moist all the time). Kinda looks Like myc grew over Something dark ish:

At this point i isolated this tub. Safety before sorry!
Turned Out to be a good Idea as Something happens at the Sides between tub and Substrate: primordial knots start to discolor to a greenish/blueish dark:



Today they matured completley (Like waved their Cap, exposing the Grills etc.)
But without veil tore or Spore! Just whiteish Grills:


At last the Caps seem to grow a Tip of myc on top:

So to sum it Up my questions are:
1. At what % colonization to introduce fruiting conditions?
2. Why could my stems be wrinkled?
--> Due to mutation: 2.1 would it be possible to Clone mutated mushies? I kinda Like this "mystic" Look of them
3. Wtf is that Mutation where those many Pins Form at one Point (that one im unable to describe), or isnt that a Mutation at all?
4. Whats that from myc "overran" darkish spot?
5. Is it possible that exclusivley knots bruise at pinning Stage? If Not, whats that discoloration to a greenish/blueish dark?
6. Is it possible for mushrooms to grow mature without a veil that can tare or without any spores falling Off after the cap turns wavey (maybe due to a Mutation)?
7. Why is there myc growing on top of some Caps?
And Last but Not least:
8. Is it Generally possible for mushrooms to mutate because of contams?
Edit: forgot to thank yall for Reading my booklet^^
