Alright if anyone coulf help me i would appreciate it
So i am growing usinh a growkit and when i got the kit in the mail some mushrooms had already been formed but they were flat and they are going black almost, now a 6 days later i have gotten some mushrooms 3 of them are pretty big and fat and will most likely open their veil in 6-24 hours, but i also have some medium sized and a few very tiny ones that are almost pins, what should i do? should i pick the mature ones like say in a few hours and wait 2-3 days before the other ones are mature also? im also kind of wanting to get rid of these few almost black mushrooms that seem to rot because they fruited during shipping in the mail but were dead or something when i actually started to use the kit, any advice what should i do in my current situation, any help would ve appreciated
here are a picture it isnt the best quality but i have used a kit before and i can see the biggest one and the second biggest are almost fully mature while behond them kinda hard to se there are smaller ones and some almost pinlike

I would wait until the veils are about to tear and harvest that cluster and take samples for agar. I personally don't like kits it takes half the fun away and leaves endless possibilities to vectors for contamination, get some grains and some agar and you will not be sorry. In my experience the small pins will abort after harvest so clean your sub of any pins soak it in some coldwater for shock therapy and try for a second flush. Black mushroom is rot big vector for contamination.

I’d give them another day they should get much bigger. The side ones will develop fine they’ll just be a little smashed. The tiny one on the surface with the blue cap is dead.
The whole deal looks super dry though.

the thing about the dryness is i dont know how much i should mist, i do it 3-5 times a day depending on how much white glistening i see on surface but sometimes the glistening turn more into a layer of water which ive read is not good, also when i mist the mycelium bruises blue is this bad or can i mist even more?
also the one with blue cap that is dead should i remove that one before harvest along with another one that is almost black and flattend, it cant be seen on picture but there were already two darker flattend mushrooms when i recieved the kit which i assume grew during shipping but died. I am afraid it will contam the kit so should i remove it say today and give the other mushrooms a day or two?

You really shouldn’t need to mist that much, if it’s drying out that fast i would cut back on air flow. There should be condensation on the bag too, it needs to be very humid inside.
The aborted mushrooms can wait til the other ones are done or come off now it won’t hurt anything either way.
