Help identify cause of off texture and color caps
    #28022891 - 10/29/22 02:04 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

This is my first grow. I used a grow bag.I had trouble maintaining humidity because I cut the bag off and neglected to build any sort of fruiting chamber. So I think I might have over misted this grow. I’m curious to funny texture on the caps. I’m thinking they just got too wet then discolored and texture changed. Agree? Other ideas? When harvested they definitely weren't slimy. They kinda look like mushrooms at the store that might be on the shelf a day too long. The cap texture becomes a little flaky, not necessarily cracking though.

Thanks for any insight. I tried searching for similar posts but couldn't find anything that looked like what I have. I basically just want to confirm that they are still edible.

Looks like those caps got a bit drier than the others. Looks a bit dry in general.

Yeah the substrate dried out way too much. There was definitely less than ideal conditions. I went to fruit the bag then noticed lots of side pins. I then left it out a few days and noticed it drying out. I then put the block around foil and misted the shit out of it and blasted the humidifier at it until I got a flush. I'm pretty sure they look off because of the rapid change in conditions while attempting to fruit. Long story short I agree they look too dry I just wanted someone else opinion before I eat any.
