I was fruiting them in a jar but they started growing from the lower side so i had to pick the cake out to harvest them. There were some fluffy parts that looked suspicious to me and the shrooms are bruised and deformed as hell, do any of you guys see hints of mold or something like that? Or do they look ok?
Appreciate any feedback, thanks merry xmas guys

They do look pretty ugly
Try to clean them up a bit and check the smell on them
Make sure they don't smell funky, what you're looking for is a clean mushroom smell
Does the cake have any weird colores spots or smells?

There's a weird fuck lurking in these woods

So the jars I was using had a narrowing top. When I tried to get the shrooms that were growing under the jar out the cake broke up, it wasn't as colonized as I expected, looked like maybe I added too much verm into the mix.
I can't smell very well but the shrooms had an earthy wet smell, didn't seem unpleasant. There were some yellow metabolite spots and one was slightly blue, but the cakes seemed all white. The mycellium was really fuzzy at the stems of the shrooms it seemed, I was worried it was mold but according to my research its normal, idk.
I'm currently fan drying the shrooms and I'm trying to dunk the cake that broke up, hopefully getting something more from it in the fruiting chamber.

They're fine. It was just the location of the mushrooms that made you had to work for them and they got destroyed in the process. That's where all the bruising is coming from. You can always chop them up and boil them in water for 10 mins.. and shoot back some mushroom water.
That's what I always do with questionable fruit at least. But, those look completely fine to me.. just have been put through the ringer. IMO it's not about aesthetics.. it's about getting mushrooms that are edible and get me where I want to go. Those mushrooms will do it.

Ugly mushrooms but mushrooms nonetheless. They look fine to me.
Growing in vitro never produces beautiful shrooms, but hey they all go down the same way eventually!

Sadly no that grow was 2 years ago and the size was probably no longer than a bic lighter this was before i started working with agar and that spawn was contaminated with bacillus and trich spores.
But now im more than prepared to not only attempt to clone but make multiple transfers if that plate ends up getting contaminated 
 This was my first agar transfer to grain spawn (notice the unorganized myc at the top..its cobweb >.<)

They look like my standard ones that grow on the bottom/sides. Sometimes my bottom ones end up being the largest. I try to judge not only by smell but consistency. If the fruit is really mushy and the inside of the stems seems VERY yellow/brown chances are it is a rotten fruit. And typically if I do have very large fruits on the bottom I will only go two flushes to prevent a chance of rotten or contaminated fruit. The only negative side I get from bottom and side fruits are very large amounts of caked up coir/verm which generally can be rinsed off in the sink!
