Is this contamination? Dark spots on caps.

The length of the stems seems to indicate low FAE, especially in pic 2. The dark coloration and premature veil breaking in pic 1(second mushrooms down)
indicate a little to much misting. Make sure they are drying out completely before misting again, and mist lightly.

If this is a bacteria on the caps it was caused by the less than optimal fruiting conditions, however I'd like to see another photo of these in a day or two to confirm.
Chances are these will be fine to consume once dehydrated. :heart:

ok so I took some images yesterday and today


here's close up of a slightly weird spotty one

At least they seem to be curving up now instead of growing in to the perlite or horizontally :grin:


and the little one after I picked the others


Doesn't seem to have changed much. Just random spotting?

Hm, these other shrooms popping up with the same spotty pattern.
But most of them look normal.



Any ideas?
