Can small pins and mushrooms be a genetic issue? 1

I have a vertical coco coir verm, gypsum garden with a self contained environment. I am cycling small bins. One of my bins and a few tins produce tiny mushrooms. Lots of them. They go full cycle. They are in the same conditions are everything else in the space. My other bins do excellent constantly producing a handful every other day or more. Some produce good sized mushrooms. I am working with 5 different strains my GT is the one going small.

Im absolutly a newbie on the subject here but is the middle pic representing the kind of pinsets you get on average? It could be more thick or dense. Also your casing dont look even at all, i press my casing down and make it even af and mist it after so it could work as a moist barrier. And moist is needed to grow great fruits. Maybe that could help stretch out the cycle?
GT supposed to have large fruits so i think its some kind of environmental mutation prior to some genetic mutation.

Heck no, That would be horrible! I have one case out of 18 doing that and was wondering since all things being equal in the environment if its genetic. I had thought about adding another layer of coco coir. I have very thin layers and not thick ones since I am using so many small containers to keep everything separated and in cycle. I have a couple plastic and foil times I used for trimming dumps and 2 of them produce small pins also but they at the same time produce mediums too.

Yes I would say so, its the same with any other living organism. Some strawberries look picture perfect while other ones are deformed and discolored. Life is very strange, that is just how it goes.

Some strains do produce smaller shrooms, such as Mazatepeca. Ironically, Mazatepeca also grows some of the largest Ive seen too.
However, it seems like a high-humidity fruiting environment seems to encourage small-fruit growth in my experience. So its a combo of genetics and fruiting conditions.

Thank you for the input. I agree they have different traits across the board. I have One that is on its sixth generation and thought it was toasted. 4 that I started back in August MDK,Amazon,GT,B+. Amazon is big but light, MDK medium but heavy, B+ big and medium weight same with GT. Out of 34 jars lost two a bunch went into dual fruiting chambers before I realized that all that is just extra work. I go with whatever container I can get my hands on fill a box anytime something is ready(I think my sub level is too small needs an inch added). Now I am waiting on A+, dancing tiger, PF Red and Equator. IF I can do that then I can try to do the crazy ones we have in the PCW. I only use the core of cakes the rest I do MS spawning. The coco coir, verm gypsum combination in a bin has worked out well. I am sort of new to this so its an evolution to de-evolve my process to simple. I have a jar packed with tiny mushrooms of all types that I am wondering if it is potent or not. I pellet everything that is nice a nice sample.
