Golden Teachers stopped growing, need advice

Hi Shroomery friends.
I have a kit of golden teachers which started pinning almost a week ago. The mushrooms were growing for a couple of days and got small and fat, but seemed to have stopped growing. Some of them have been tearing up a bit making it look like those Russian dolls.
Could someone have a look at this picture and tell me what's going on? Are they alright? Too wet? Genetic defect perhaps?
I mist once a day and fan 3x per day. If you need more info just let me know.
My plan for now is to wait a few more days, and then just harvest and resoak the substrate.
Thanks in advance guys!

What the fuck!!! Those things look crazy!!! They look like roses! How the hell did they get double skins! O btw your answer is they aborted. Not anough misting and I don't really fan my stuff anymore. The good news is now that your on here you can read on how to clone those bad boys! And grow much much for $150 starting out.

Damn, how can you tell? Never even heard that term before. So I take it they are not edible then? Does the virus just infect the fruits or should I toss the whole kit?
Second failed kit in a row, looks like it is time to start doing the work myself from scratch then.

Yeah I was quite surprised by it as well. Never seen this happen before.
Thanks for the tip about cloning, will look into that here on the forum!

Is your kit sitting in the open air like that all the time or does it have something that keeps it humid?
Meaning do you normally have a a bag over it or maybe keep it in a larger container?

It's normally in a bag with airfilter, humidity it always around 98%, the room is constantly at 76F. I just took it out to make the picture. Now they are harvested and the box is soaked again, preparing for the next flush.
Any more advice would be appreciated ❤️

Advice: Kits are bunk. Never buy one again. Sorry.
Agar, dishes, malt, grain, and jars are cheap... Blowing through 1000+ plates a year should only cost 200-250 usd. Jars get hundreds of uses.
It takes practice but you will spend less $ and time doing the whole process yourself and it wil be way more rewarding for you. Lots of people pull it off all the time and you can too. There is a plethora of info here and loads of folks who can and are willing to help. It doesn't need to be hard as most of the mistakes have been made by other people so you can skip all that
You need a spore print? HMU

Thanks for the advice, you are absolutely right. This is what I get for being lazy and buying a kit. It will be much more fun and rewarding to go through the process of doing it all myself!
Thanks for the spore offer, when the time comes I will let you know.
This is why I have always loved the Shroomery <3
