Mind checking my pins out folks? 1

I'm about a week into the fruiting stage and I have a couple of things I would like some clarification on please:

I'm growing Golden Teacher and all my pins are uniform in appearance aside from this white-ish one. What could this be?



The above 3 images are all the same cake (I think). Look at the cluster, where they all connect, near the bottom. It looks to be white fluffyness of some sort. Is this normal? Is it mold? And if it is a contamination of some sort what can I do about it?
Any other observations are welcome.
Thanks to all in advance.

The thing up top is just a mushroom blob I think. That cake is bruising a little, that’s the first flush you’re on?
And the cluster is just a cluster yo 😎 that’s how they do it.

Niiice. Congrats on getting your first mushrooms 🍄!!
Just make sure they have moisture and fresh air and you should have serious trippage.

Thanks man.
It's been so difficult judging when and how often I should mist and fan, and to what extent.
I tend to wake up around 7, check em, fan em for 30 seconds.
2/3 hours later I'll check em, either fan em if they look overly damp or mist them and then fan, should they be looking dry.
I then repeat this process basically every 3-4 hours. I try to only mist once before midday, once around 6pm, and once around 12pm. So it's usually 2-3 mists per day.
Just so worried that I will have gone through all of this and finally managed to grow them, just to have a contaminant make them inedible on the home stretch.

Are you using a SGFC or the HC I’ve seen? I haven’t don’t many brf cake grows but that sounds like a lot of misting. It’s not really an “x amount of times per day” thing more just when they no longer glisten. You want a cycle of evaporation from the surface so they do need to dry out at times but never harmfully dry. It’s a balance that you’ll find.
And don’t worry about contamination of fruits. Unless a mushroom itself starts going rotten or something they will be fine. My biggest mushroom ever came from my first cake grow and it was a single fruit from a very contaminated cake.

I'm using a sgfc. TBH, i've had advice that i'm over misting so I really should cut it down then. I'm just concerned I will dry them out too much.
Thanks for the encouragement dude.

No problem. I know what it’s like the first couple grows with a 100hrs of reading semi conflicting reports and having all this new terminology in your head. Dire warnings sometimes from people that don’t know what they’re talking about lol. Time and effort and uncertainty. But once you grow your own and eat them, while studying others that you have growing, it’s like a waterfall of greatness and so worth it.

Mist your cakes till they are moist but not soaked/soggy. Dried out cakes are bad but overly-wet cakes can be just as bad too.
I see mutant shrooms in your pics. Nothing to worry about, it happens. Those domesticated genetics just do that for some reason

Thanks for the input Logical. I assume mutants are unsafe to consume? How and when do I deal with them?

Mutants are totally safe to eat, they just look hella weird. Note they are usually more potent by weight.
